In your first assignment you will end up with a web page, no matter how simple, published on the web.
Objectives
Get to know your text editor
Introduce yourself to working on the command line
Publish a web page
Requirements
Have git, hub, and node installed. We should have done this together in class.
All of your HTML (and CSS if you do adventure mode) should be formatted cleanly and consistently
(use your editor to your advantage).
Explorer Mode
[ ] Follow all of the setup instructions (See "Assignment Setup").
[x] Compose a short essay (just a couple paragraphs at most) about a hobby you either enjoy, or would like to learn
about. We will be expanding on this page in future assignments, so pick something fun!
[x] Put your short essay into an HTML page, using appropriate semantic HTML tags. Give your webpage a simple header
and footer as well.
[ ] Deploy your site.
Adventure Mode
[ ] Research the id and class HTML attributes.
[ ] Use valid CSS to style the page (in the neighborhood of a couple dozen CSS declarations).
[ ] Use at least one image somewhere on the page.
Epic Mode
[ ] Create a full layout for your page (heading, navigation, sidebar, footer, etc.).
[ ] Use more complex CSS selectors than we covered in class, e.g. attribute selectors or sibling selectors.
In your first assignment you will end up with a web page, no matter how simple, published on the web.
