You are going to have to learn a little HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I won’t be painful.

An HTMLtask
If you haven’t use Brackets, start it up and try out the introductory tutorial. Modify the tutorial, just to see that you can.
Using Brackets create a new folder on your desktop and create a new file called “myhtml.html”. Now create a webpage containing a couple of paragraphs describing your experience (if any) with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Upload your html directory here as a ZIP file.
Try to use the approved format a HTML documents (see W3Schools
HTML Basic Examples) and use some HTML header tags, <h1>
,
and a few paragraph tags <p>
.
You can also try out images and references. This is mostly for the people who haven’t HTMLed before. HTML gurus may leave early.
