Hello, World.

In your first assignment, you will end up with a web page, no matter how simple, published on the web.

You will create a simple website that will showcase one of your passions. This is not about making the website flashy, but more about focusing on creating a website and learning your new tools.

For this assignment, you will be following along with your instructors to complete this homework.

Objectives

• Get to know your text editor
• Introduce yourself to working on the command line
• Write some HTML
• Publish a web page

Requirements

• Have git, hub, node, app-app installed. We should have done this together in class. Reminder: you only have to install these tools once.

• All of your HTML (and CSS if you do epic mode) should be formatted cleanly and consistently (use your editor to your advantage).

• If you have experience with existing HTML/CSS frameworks (bootstrap, bulma, etc) you may not use them for these assignments.

Explorer Mode

• [ ] Follow all of the setup instructions.
• [ ] 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!
• [ ] Put your short essay into an HTML page, using appropriate semantic HTML tags. (See the link HTML Tag Reference below). Give your webpage a simple header and footer as well.
• [ ] Deploy your site.

Adventure Mode

• [ ] Use at least one image somewhere on the page.
• [ ] Learn about and investigate the a to add (at least 2) more pages to your site.
• [ ] Re-deploy your site.
• [ ] Read more about CSS.

Epic Mode

• [ ] Research the id and class HTML attributes.
• [ ] Use valid CSS to style the page (in the neighborhood of a couple dozen CSS declarations).
• [ ] 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.
