Full Course Web Development [22 Hours] | Learn Full Stack Web Development From
Scratch
Our upcoming Front End Boot Camp 2022 Singular YouTube video will explore
everything you need to know to become a successful front-end developer in 2022 and
beyond. We have recreated the content to include more hands-on exercises so you can
get the most out of the experience. In our next video, we will show you how to set
up Visual Studio Code (VS Code) on your system and explain why it’s necessary. VS
Code is an editor that you can use offline to do the same work as you would do
online, but on your own system. After installation, you can launch VS Code and
benefit from its temporary playgrounds where you can create files and folders
without having to worry about updating the output.
Starting your web development journey is exciting and takes time, but with some
practice you'll eventually get there. To start, you need to go to the extensions
tab and search for "Live Server". After clicking the icon and installing it into
your VS Code, right click on your file and choose "Open with Live Server". What
this does is connect a remote computer to your file system - so if you create a new
file, like "so cool.txt", type in "ls" and write "hello world" in index.html, this
will automatically be fetched. All the best for your journey - it won't be easy but
with dedication it will surely happen.
Comments in HTML start with an angular bracket exclamation mark and two dashes, and
whatever is written inside of this will be not rendered by the browser. If you look
at a page's source code, you will see that Google Chrome turns these comments into
green, and this usually means that it is a comment. Tags tell the browser how to
behave on a certain feature, such as the title tag which shows 'Example Domain' in
the title if you have typed 'Example Domain One Two Three Four Five'. The first
kind of tag is where you open something, and then close it with a forward slash,
like this. The behavior could be colors or styles sheets, but the simplest one is
headings.
Div tags, h1 tags, and h6 tags are essential for creating properly formatted HTML.
If the tags are not properly closed, the HTML is considered broken and your browser
may try to make sense of it but it can lead to problems. When using an anchor tag
(a tag) the important attribute is called href which tells the browser where to go.
There are two main types of tags in HTML, block tags which take up a complete row
on your document and inline tags which only take up part of a row. It's important
to understand how these two types of tags work together to create a cohesive HTML
document.
Creating HTML involves designing block and inline tags to accommodate content that
is commonly found on the web. Inline tags are limited in width, and nesting a block
tag inside an inline tag would not make sense. A button tag, for example, is an
inline element that creates a button on the screen, allowing the user to click on
it. Other tags, such as image tags, are also self-closing and inline. Images are
integral to communication and understanding, and HTML makes it easy to embed them
with a single tag.
When it comes to images, you can simply specify the URL as an attribute, and the
image will appear. You can then customize the width and height of the image through
other attributes. However, some tags, such as the center tag, have been deprecated
and replaced with modern alternatives in HTML or CSS. It is important to be careful
when learning from outside resources, such as CodeDAMN. Unlike images, video tags
are not self-closing and require closing. This video tag takes a source tag which
tells it where to look for the embedded video - this source is typically specified
right there in the tag.
You can embed a YouTube video by clicking the "Share" button, which will give you
,an iframe instead of a raw video link. Iframes have multiple use cases, but for raw
videos, a video tag should be used. Tables can be used to spawn certain cells with
multiple rows or columns; however, creating a responsive web page is much harder to
achieve with table-based layouts, so tables should only be used for tabular data
representation, not for layouts.
Text fields, such as input type text, accept any sort of single line text, while
input type password fields are slightly different as they hide the password. Forms
are created by using a form tag and specifying a get or post. Get redirects the
form with the data combined inside of the url, while post sends it to wherever the
route you have specified. The input fields are in line elements that can be placed
in a div tag for styling purposes. With these elements, you can create any type of
form that you need.
In order to be a valid HTML document, you must include the doctype HTML tag in the
beginning. The body tag is where the actual content for your website lies, while
the head tag should contain any meta tags, scripts and style sheets. The challenge
is to create an element with an ID of "main" and an h1 with an ID of "title" that
contains a string. For now, until we start using CSS, we can use the width and
height attributes but there are better ways to do this.
The img element should responsibly resize relative to the width of its parent
element without exceeding its original size. It should have a maximum width of 100
percent, with a height of auto, meaning that it will adjust its height according to
the image itself. In this video, I'm going to show you how to start working with
CSS. Programming and web development is not a single-pass thing - it's a multi-pass
learning process that requires revisiting and relearning more and more. To become
an effective developer, you need to understand CSS fully, and this section of the
course will help you do just that. Make sure you attempt all the exercises as you
go along - CSS is an awesome language when used correctly!
CSS is a powerful attribute and in this video we're taking a look at the tag based
selector. When using a browser, such as Chrome or Firefox, when you right-click on
a page you'll see an 'Inspect' option. By clicking that, a window will open with
the dev tools. We'll discuss these properties in depth, but for example if you
write "background yellow" it will turn the background of the element to yellow.
However, if you have another tag and want to use "background yellow" again you need
to copy and paste it. Don't worry though, by the end of this video you will become
more familiar with how css works.
Debugging this page is easy. First, open it and refresh it. Then hover over the
page and click on the element you want to inspect. CSS is the underlying code for
the styles on the website, and it follows a property-column-value format. Each
value always ends with a semicolon. Classes in CSS will make more sense when we
understand what is happening. You can use different tags such as div, p, or span,
and you can select them in a unique or collective way by using classes.
CSS allows you to style elements on a page using classes and ids. To target a class
with CSS, you have to start it with a dot or period, which denotes that this is not
an HTML element or tag, but a class name. An id is different in that it is unique
and can only be used for one element on the page. The way you style an id is by
using a hash symbol instead of a dot. Browsers can maintain a hashmap of the ids on
your page and directly go to the element in that tree, making them faster than
classes. However, when it comes to styling, focus mainly on classes and forget
about the intricacies of ids.
Flexbox is a powerful display property which can be used to create responsive
layouts with CSS. It allows for the bending of rules and the creation of user-
friendly interfaces, but it does not replace tables that do not make sense on
, mobile devices. Flexbox also enables developers to switch between block and inline
elements. The latest version of CSS, CSS3, introduced Flexbox which allowed for a
new kind of layout. To demonstrate how this works, let's take a look at a div and
its margin property. Margin is actually a shorthand property consisting of four
properties: margin left, margin top, margin right and margin bottom. If we open
this in a new tab and inspect the element, we can see that although the width and
height are fine, there are arrows on the right of these three properties, which
shows that we are using a shorthand version of the property.
Flexbox is a new layout system which allows you to stack elements in a row or in a
column, depending on how you want. By default, flexbox stacks all of the items in a
row, with the main axis of the flexbox container lying from left to right. The flex
basis property sets the width and height of an element, while flex shrink helps you
control the behavior of the boxes when the browser window collapses. You can
maintain a fixed width with a flex box by setting the flex shrink property to zero,
meaning elements will overflow the parent container if needed. With flexbox, you
can easily stack elements in whatever direction or size you desire.
In this video we'll be taking a look at how to center a div. Back in the days
before flexbox, this was not an easy task. In CSS, there are multiple ways of
specifying the dimensions, such as pixels which is the most common and vw which is
the viewport's width. By default, flexbox stacks elements in a row, but we can use
justify content center and align items center to change this behavior and center
the div within another div.
Justify content and flex direction are two important concepts when it comes to web
development. Justify content allows you to control the alignment of content within
a container, while flex direction allows you to switch from stacking items in a row
to a column side. The default value for justify content is flex start, which keeps
the content as is, and flex end pushes it towards the end. When building sites with
a similar layout, it's essential to understand how to create basic layout
structures and choose the approach that best suits your project. You can either
code the structure before styling with CSS or vice versa - it's completely your
choice. Just remember that each step should be taken one at a time to ensure proper
implementation.
We can fix the look of our page so that it looks nice and clean by styling the
navigation part with CSS, adding a bit of padding, and changing the footer's color.
We also need to set the flex direction to column so that the page can stretch and
take up as much width as it wants. Once we have these elements figured out, we can
play around with the content and layout to make it look exactly how we'd like.
CSS is an essential part of web development, and one of its most important concepts
is positioning. In the last video, we created a simple span tag to explain this
concept. On codedam.com, you can find projects that have helpful files available to
build with. Position in CSS is related to the 'position' property, but it is not
related to flexbox or box direction. The 'position' absolute property picks an
element apart from the layout tree and is incredibly useful when there is a
relative parent. For example, if we give the parent 'position: relative', the child
element (the span) will use this red box as its coordinate system.
Position fixed does not have a coordinate system bound to an element, but instead
is only bound to the screen, so you can only style it by setting up coordinates on
the screen. It is similar to position absolute, but with a few differences.
Nowadays, CSS position sticky is commonly used. This allows for relative
positioning to the scroll bar; meaning that you can have a fixed element that
scrolls with your scroll bar. You can also achieve this using javascript solutions.
