Week 4- Why Code Counts

This week we learnt about code and what is meant by HTML and CSS. The understanding of this code is a necessity for web design and provides better result. HTML and CSS is at the top of the list that every web designer needs. Paying attention to code gives a site better flexibility and lowers the differences and changes of a sites appearance across different web browsers such as Firefox, Explorer, Safari etc. Clean, compact code also makes smaller files which are quicker to download. During the lecture we also learnt that having knowledge of code will help us with the concept and construction of our site. Working with code provides better results: stability, flexibility efficiency accessibility etc.

In this week’s tutorial we had a go at creating our own a small web page using only HTML script. After a few difficult spots and understanding of what we were actually typing it helped me to understand that every page needs to be marked up right to work.
