Overview of the Codecademy Web Development Course

This is a brief overview of the course I am taking on Codecademy. It teaches three different forms of code:

  • HTML
  • CSS
  • Javascript

And it has projects and quizzes after each lesson. Each lesson takes about 10-20 minutes to complete (It varies depending on the lesson.) So far I am about 15% through the course. Currently I am working on Javascript. Here is a picture of what I've completed so far:

HTML is used for the basic editing of a website, it controls the main body where the titles are, etc. 

CSS is used for the look of a website, for example, you could change the color of a banner and assign it to the main banner in the HTML code.

Javascript is used for the back-end of things and can create functions to react differently to different inputs and create different outputs.

All of the three codes work together to create a nice looking and working website.

Work together HTML CSS and Javascript
Here’s an example of a JavaScript code snippet for an age calculator. The code asks for the input of your date of birth and then it calculates how old you are based on that date:

This is an example of CSS code that is for changing the font, color etc. for a specific section of text. You can’t do this formatting In JavaScript or in HTML:

This example is of a sample of code from html that displays an image from an image link and controls the display size. This is also not possible to do in JavaScript or CSS:

Codecademy Development Course

Recently I have been working on Codecademy's web development course, which includes HTML, CSS, and Javascript. I have already completed the first part of HTML and CSS, and now I am working on the "Getting Started with Javascript" lesson. HTML is the bare side of a website. In HTML, you can do a little bit of styling, but it isn't meant for full styling. CSS is the styling code of a website. For example, on a site with CSS, you can change the font size, color, etc. So far on my web development course, I have learned a lot, I love it because it has short quizzes and projects after I am done with a lesson

Codecademy part 3

recently I have been learning about loops, a loop is a code that will keep on looping until it is told to stop or as codecademy says it "As illustrated in the diagram, loops iterate or repeat an action until a specific condition is met. When the condition is met, the loop stops and the computer moves on to the next part of the program."   

The 'For' loop was the first loop that I was taught a for loop is a loop that will run until it matches the number I choose like in this picture below, in this picture it shows what I coded. The part that says "(Let counter = 6;" that sets counter to six and the second part "counter <= 11;" tells it to keep running until it hits the number 11. The third part "counter++) means to add a number to the console. The fourth part "Console.log(counter);" will tell the program to start the program, which will print out: 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11.

Codecademy Part 2

recently I have been learning about functions, and Scope in the course I am taking on codecademy. I have been learning how to make it calculate something like 9*6 or 7+35, and I have also been learning how to have it respond to two different scenarios like let's say you woke up at 5:00 o'clock and your alarm clock is still set for 6:00 am then the code would run and turn off your alarm clock. Here is a screenshot of me on codecademy

Codecademy

Recently I have been taking a course about Javascript. on a website called: Codecademy, Codecademy is a programming website for learners, the first thing I learned was about how to create a message which if you wanted to say something you would type this: console.log ('Introduction to Javascript'); so that would put a message saying: "introduction to Javascript".
