Study Notes
Semantic Elements
- HTML5 introduced semantic elements to provide meaning to the structure of a web page
- Replaces div soup with meaningful elements that describe the content
- Examples:
- Header elements:
,, `` - Sectioning elements:
,, `` - Grouping elements:
, - Table elements:
,,,, ``
- Header elements:
- Benefits:
- Improved readability and maintainability of code
- Better search engine optimization (SEO)
- Enhanced accessibility for screen readers and other assistive technologies
Responsive Design
- Design approach that focuses on creating websites that adapt to different screen sizes and devices
- Key techniques:
- Media queries: uses CSS to apply different styles based on screen size and device type
- Flexible grids: uses relative units (e.g.,
%,em,rem) instead of fixed units (e.g.,px) - Images: uses responsive image techniques (e.g.,
srcset,lazy loading)
- Benefits:
- Improved user experience across different devices and screen sizes
- Increased mobile traffic and engagement
- Future-proofing for new devices and screen sizes
CSS Grid
- Two-dimensional grid system for structuring content
- Key concepts:
- Grid container: defines the grid area
- Grid items: elements placed within the grid container
- Grid tracks: horizontal and vertical lines that define the grid cells
- Grid cells: individual units of the grid
- Properties:
-
grid-template-columnsandgrid-template-rows: define the grid structure -
grid-columnandgrid-row: place grid items within the grid -
grid-gap: adds spacing between grid cells
-
- Benefits:
- Fast and efficient way to create complex grid-based layouts
- Easy to manage and maintain complex layouts
- Reduces the need for floats and positioning hacks
Flexbox
- One-dimensional layout mode for structuring content
- Key concepts:
- Flex container: defines the flex area
- Flex items: elements placed within the flex container
- Main axis: direction of the flex items (either horizontal or vertical)
- Cross axis: perpendicular direction to the main axis
- Properties:
-
flex-direction: defines the main axis direction -
justify-content: controls the alignment of flex items on the main axis -
align-items: controls the alignment of flex items on the cross axis
-
- Benefits:
- Easy to create responsive and flexible layouts
- Simplifies the creation of navigation bars, footers, and other horizontal layouts
- Reduces the need for floats and positioning hacks
Accessibility
- Ensuring that websites are usable by people with disabilities
- Key concepts:
- Semantic HTML: using HTML elements that provide meaning to the structure of a web page
- ARIA attributes: provide additional information about dynamic content and interactive elements
- Color contrast: ensuring sufficient contrast between background and text colors
- Keyboard navigation: ensuring that websites can be navigated using only a keyboard
- Benefits:
- Improves user experience for people with disabilities
- Increases website usability and accessibility
- Enhances search engine optimization (SEO)
HTML Advanced
- Advanced HTML topics:
- HTML5 APIs: provides additional functionality for web applications (e.g.,
canvas,video,audio) - Microformats: adds additional semantic meaning to HTML elements (e.g.,
itemprop,itemtype) - Web storage: allows for client-side storage of data (e.g.,
localStorage,sessionStorage) - Web workers: allows for running scripts in the background (e.g.,
Worker)
- HTML5 APIs: provides additional functionality for web applications (e.g.,
- Benefits:
- Enhances the functionality and capabilities of web applications
- Provides additional tools for creating complex and interactive web applications
- Improves the overall user experience
Semantic Elements
- HTML5 introduced semantic elements to provide meaning to the structure of a web page
- Replaces
divelements with meaningful elements that describe the content - Examples of semantic elements include header elements (
h1-h6,header,nav,footer), sectioning elements (section,article,aside,figure), grouping elements (div,span), and table elements (table,tr,td,th,caption)
Responsive Design
- Responsive design is a design approach that focuses on creating websites that adapt to different screen sizes and devices
- Key techniques used in responsive design include media queries, flexible grids, and responsive images
- Media queries use CSS to apply different styles based on screen size and device type
- Flexible grids use relative units (e.g.,
%,em,rem) instead of fixed units (e.g.,px) - Responsive images use techniques such as
srcsetandlazy loadingto optimize image loading
CSS Grid
- CSS Grid is a two-dimensional grid system for structuring content
- Key concepts in CSS Grid include grid containers, grid items, grid tracks, and grid cells
- Grid containers define the grid area, while grid items are elements placed within the grid container
- Grid tracks are horizontal and vertical lines that define the grid cells, and grid cells are individual units of the grid
- Properties used in CSS Grid include
grid-template-columnsandgrid-template-rowsto define the grid structure,grid-columnandgrid-rowto place grid items, andgrid-gapto add spacing between grid cells
Flexbox
- Flexbox is a one-dimensional layout mode for structuring content
- Key concepts in Flexbox include flex containers, flex items, main axis, and cross axis
- Flex containers define the flex area, while flex items are elements placed within the flex container
- Main axis is the direction of the flex items (either horizontal or vertical), while cross axis is the perpendicular direction to the main axis
- Properties used in Flexbox include
flex-directionto define the main axis direction,justify-contentto control the alignment of flex items on the main axis, andalign-itemsto control the alignment of flex items on the cross axis
