Web Development
The more you do, the more you want
Table of Contents
To be honest, this section is more of a reference for myself, as we all get aa bit forgetful in our later years. I did spend the latter years of my working life teaching web development and other IT skills, mainly as a Learning Tree International Instructor. Technology is a moving target, I have enjoyed the journey and I'm still travelling. There is always something new to learn and it's good fun along the way. Maybe you can pick up some of my techniques and practises. Your welcome to take a peep.
Semantic Mark-up
If you add an essay or article to a web page, it would display as one continuous line of text. Your first task to mark up the content and learn all about HTML.
It's not just a case of adding headings and paragraphs. You need to make the content as meaningful as possible, so that it is accessible to everyone, no matter what their ability or disability.
This includes the device a person is using, such as a mouse, keyboard only, Screen Readers, display size, etc.
Writing meaningful mark up with HTML5 and adding a few visual clues with CSS is what my Semantic section is all about.
Presentation
Presentation is all about enhancing the mark-up with CSS to help semantics be visually more meaningful and to place it into a layout that looks good in any device that browses the contents. Take a look at the many Layouts I use on this site.
Behaviour
The final stage of this progressive enhancement is to give the user a better experience if JS - ( JavaScript ) is available to them.
Take a look at my Code section to get an idea of how JavaScript can be used in front-end Web Development.
