HTML : hypertext markup language. Skeleton of the website. It is the information that the website holds (text, buttons, search box).
CSS : cascading style sheets. Layer that adds color, size, and shape to the skeleton.
This is a beginner project for me to understand the basic components of building a static web page. Next, I would like to learn how to add animations and more dynamic content to a web page.
- Click on the "<> Code" button on GitHub
- Under Local > HTTPS > copy the HTTPS address
- Navigate to VS Code
- Select the "Clone Git repository..." option
- Paste the copied HTTPS address and hit Enter This should prompt you to select a Folder destination to clone the repository into. After selecting a destination, select "Trust Authors" and you should see the files to create the web page.
- Install the "Live Server" extension on VS Code
- On the bottom right side of your VS Code screen, click on the "Go Live" option. (next to "Markdown" and Bell icon)
- The static web page should now appear through a web browser!
