Study Notes

Web Development Fundamentals

Web development focuses on separating content, presentation, and behavior.
HTML5 manages content.
CSS3 handles presentation.
JavaScript controls functionality.

HTML Structure

HTML documents have three primary sections:
- Doctype declaration: identifies the document type (e.g., HTML).
- Head section: provides metadata about the document (e.g., title, character set).
- Body section: holds the main content of the page.
HTML uses tags (elements): usually in pairs (opening and closing).
Examples of tags:
- <html>: encloses the entire document.
- <head>: contains meta-information.
- <body>: holds the main content.
- <img>: for images.
- : for paragraphs.
Tags can be nested.
  is a single-use (empty) tag that creates a line break.
Tags can have attributes, e.g., width and height for images.

File Structure

Create a folder structure for work (Week1, Ex1, img, script, styles).
/index.html usually serves as the home or landing page.

Addressing

Absolute addressing: uses the full path for the file (e.g., J:/Employment/Administrator/Network.htm).
Relative addressing: uses paths relative to the current location (e.g., from a file in the Templates.htm directory, you might use ../Administrator/Network.htm).

Lists (unordered/ordered/description)

Unordered list (<ul>) use bullet points.
Ordered list (<ol>) uses numbers.
Description list (<dl>) links terms to their descriptions
List items (<li>) are inside list containers (ul, ol, dl).
description term/description are part of the description list

Additional Tags

<div>: is a broadly used tag for content separation.
Hyperlinks (<a> tag): used to link two documents together or to create a clickable element referencing a different point in the same document

File Management and Embedding

File management using tools like Notepad++.
Embedding content (e.g., images) within documents using the <img> tag.
alt attribute is recommended with images for accessibility.
