Hello, World - Intro to HTML

[mdewey]

Hello, World.

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").
• [ ] 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. 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.
