- Frontend development focuses on the user interface and experience of a website or application, encompassing HTML, CSS, and JavaScript technologies.
HTML Fundamentals
- HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the standard markup language for creating web pages.
- HTML provides the structure of a webpage, using elements to define content such as text, images, and interactive forms.
- HTML documents consist of nested elements represented by tags, with most tags having an opening and closing tag.
- Key HTML elements include:
<!DOCTYPE html>: Declares the document type and version of HTML.<html>: The root element that contains all other HTML elements.<head>: Contains meta-information about the HTML document, such as title, character set, and links to CSS stylesheets.<title>: Specifies a title for the HTML document (which is shown in the browser's title bar or tab).<body>: Contains the visible page content.<h1>to<h6>: Defines headings of different levels.<p>: Defines a paragraph.<a>: Defines a hyperlink to another webpage.<img>: Defines an image.<div>: Defines a division or a section in an HTML document (often used as a container).<span>: An inline container used to mark up a part of a text, or a part of a document.<ul>: Defines an unordered list.<ol>: Defines an ordered list.<li>: Defines a list item.<form>: Defines an HTML form for user input.<input>: Defines an input field for user input.<button>: Defines a clickable button.<select>: Defines a drop-down list.<textarea>: Defines a multiline text input area.<table>: Defines a table.<tr>: Defines a table row.<td>: Defines a table data cell.<th>: Defines a table header cell.
- HTML attributes provide additional information about elements, such as
srcfor the source of an image,hreffor the destination of a hyperlink, andclassandidfor applying CSS styles or targeting elements with JavaScript. - Semantic HTML uses elements to convey the meaning and purpose of content, improving accessibility and SEO. Examples include
<article>,<aside>,<nav>,<header>,<footer>, and<main>.
CSS Styling Techniques
- CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is used to control the presentation and formatting of HTML elements, including layout, colors, fonts, and responsiveness.
- CSS can be applied in three ways:
- Inline CSS: Styles are applied directly within HTML elements using the
styleattribute. - Internal CSS: Styles are defined within the
<style>tag inside the<head>section of the HTML document. - External CSS: Styles are defined in separate
.cssfiles and linked to the HTML document using the<link>tag.
- Inline CSS: Styles are applied directly within HTML elements using the
- CSS selectors target HTML elements to apply styles. Common selectors include:
- Element selectors (e.g.,
p,h1,div). - Class selectors (e.g.,
.my-class). - ID selectors (e.g.,
#my-id). - Attribute selectors (e.g.,
[type="text"]). - Pseudo-classes (e.g.,
:hover,:active,:focus). - Pseudo-elements (e.g.,
::before,::after).
- Element selectors (e.g.,
- Key CSS properties include:
color: Sets the text color.font-family: Specifies the font.font-size: Specifies the font size.margin: Sets the margin around an element.padding: Sets the padding within an element.border: Sets the border around an element.background-color: Sets the background color.background-image: Sets the background image.width: Sets the width of an element.height: Sets the height of an element.display: Specifies the display type of an element (e.g.,block,inline,inline-block,flex,grid).position: Specifies the positioning method for an element (e.g.,static,relative,absolute,fixed,sticky).float: Positions an element to the left or right of its container, allowing text and other inline elements to wrap around it.text-align: Specifies the horizontal alignment of text within an element.
- The CSS box model defines the structure of an element as a rectangular box, consisting of content, padding, border, and margin.
- CSS specificity determines which styles are applied when multiple rules target the same element. Specificity is calculated based on the types of selectors used.
- CSS inheritance allows certain properties to be inherited from parent elements to child elements.
Responsive Design Principles
- Responsive design is an approach to web design that makes web pages render well on a variety of devices and window or screen sizes.
- Key techniques for responsive design include:
- Flexible grid layouts: Using relative units (e.g., percentages) instead of fixed units (e.g., pixels) for element widths.
- Flexible images: Ensuring images scale proportionally to fit their containers without overflowing. The
max-width: 100%andheight: autoproperties are commonly used. - Media queries: CSS rules that apply styles based on device characteristics, such as screen width, height, orientation, and resolution.
- Media queries use
@mediarule, followed by a condition (e.g.,(max-width: 768px)) and a set of CSS styles to apply when the condition is met. - Common breakpoints for responsive design include:
- Extra small devices (phones): Less than 576px.
- Small devices (portrait tablets): 576px to 767px.
- Medium devices (landscape tablets): 768px to 991px.
- Large devices (laptops/desktops): 992px to 1199px.
- Extra large devices (large laptops and desktops): 1200px and up.
- Mobile-first approach: Designing for mobile devices first and then progressively enhancing the design for larger screens.
- Viewport meta tag:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">configures how the browser scales the page to fit different screen sizes. - Using a responsive design framework can help streamline the development process and ensure consistency across different devices.
Bootstrap
- Bootstrap is a popular open-source CSS framework for developing responsive, mobile-first websites and web applications.
- Bootstrap provides a collection of pre-built CSS classes, JavaScript components, and layout tools.
- Key features of Bootstrap include:
- Grid system: A responsive grid layout based on rows and columns, making it easy to create flexible and adaptable layouts.
- CSS components: Pre-styled components such as buttons, forms, navigation bars, modals, and carousels.
- JavaScript plugins: Interactive components such as dropdowns, tooltips, popovers, and alerts.
- Customizable themes: Ability to customize the look and feel of Bootstrap by modifying variables and using custom CSS.
- Bootstrap's grid system divides the screen into 12 columns, allowing content to be arranged proportionally across different screen sizes.
- Bootstrap uses media queries to apply different styles based on screen size, ensuring a consistent user experience across devices.
- Common Bootstrap CSS classes include:
.container: Creates a container for the page content..row: Creates a horizontal row within the grid..col-*-*: Specifies the number of columns a content block should occupy on different screen sizes (e.g.,.col-sm-6,.col-md-4,.col-lg-3)..btn: Styles an element as a button..btn-*: Specifies the button color (e.g.,.btn-primary,.btn-success,.btn-danger)..form-control: Styles an input field..nav: Styles a navigation list..navbar: Styles a navigation bar.
- Bootstrap's JavaScript plugins require jQuery to function correctly.
- To use Bootstrap, include the Bootstrap CSS and JavaScript files in your HTML document. You can either download the files and host them locally or use a CDN (Content Delivery Network).
