Lesson #2: Bare Bones
"Madi, can we please start coding!?!?"
Yes, Yes, YES!!! AHH 😄 THE TIME IS HERE. 👏
As I mentioned in the previous page, we are only focusing on building the index.html file, our web page's structure without all the glitter and sparkles ✨.
-
Make a new file in your project folder by selecting
File>New File. Title this new fileindex.html.
Now let's play!!! 🙌
Every html page starts with the same line:
<!DOCTYPE html>Reason being, the server needs to know how to read the file. It is just like the process of calling in to make a reservation at your favorite restaurant (mine is Suraya in Philadelphia 😍, if you're ever in town TAKE ME WITH YOU). When you arrive at the restaurant, you tell the host your name (aka the <!DOCTYPE html>). Thus, informing the host who you are/what to do with you and your party. 🎉
This line will not be visible when the web page is displayed (do you see it anywhere on this page?). Now go ahead and type <!DOCTYPE html> in the first line of your index.html file.
- We're going to commit this change to our
index.htmlfile to enforce great habits!-
