#webdev #frontend #html #programming

Hey devs! 👋
I’m back with another weekly update on my coding journey, where I’m working through The Complete Full-Stack Web Development Bootcamp by Angela Yu.
Even though my final exams are ongoing, I’ve been keeping up with small daily wins — and they’re really stacking up! 💪

📚 What I Learned This Week

🔹 Day 8: Image Elements

  • Learned how to use the <img> tag to embed images.
  • Understood the importance of alt attributes for accessibility and SEO.

🔹 Day 9: Birthday Invite Project

  • Built a fun web-based birthday invitation.
  • Practiced layout, file structure, and embedding media in a clean, presentable way.

🔹 Day 10: File Paths

  • Explored absolute vs. relative file paths.
  • Practiced organizing folders and linking assets like images and stylesheets.

🔹 Day 11: HTML Portfolio Project

  • Created a basic portfolio using only HTML.
  • Focused on proper semantic structure and content organization.

🔹 Day 12: Adding CSS

  • Applied external CSS for the first time!
  • Learned how to style elements using selectors and began exploring visual hierarchy.

🔹 Day 13: CSS Selectors

  • Practiced using tag, class, and ID selectors effectively.
  • Gained confidence in applying precise styles to structure my pages better.

🔹 Day 14: Color Vocabulary

  • Improved page aesthetics using consistent and readable color schemes.

🧠 Key Takeaways

  • Organizing files and folders properly makes scaling projects much easier.
