As a teacher myself I really like how you refer to learning as a journey. It allows for mistakes and doesn’t put pressure to know everything right now. And this video is useful to me personally as I’m at the start of my web dev journey. Thanks!

John, this is why Kevin is so good :) Despite how humble he is, I have found for the most part he is in the upper echelon of web dev teachers - much of his content is well organised and considers its target audience + does not skip over important things leading to bad habits

Please, to all newbies out there, use the W3C validator on your HTML. Too often have I seen things like something and other monstrosities like that. Recently I saw another: asdasd and so forth. There are tags that never nest for many good reasons. Basically: you generally don't nest a block element inside an inline element. And you never nest a and an because they each do very different things.

Great video with great information. Thank you. The only thing I would correct is to not use div if you’re not sure but to use div when you are sure that you should use a div. Otherwise research the correct tag. Grabbing a div is too seductive and will result in poorly written sites because most people won’t come back later to fix it.

Hey Kevin, wonderful video! (as always!) Quick feedback on your video editing: I like your (relatively) new use of zooming in on your face for effect! However it might have more effect if you zoom back out a little sooner than you currently are. In some of your shots, the zoom holds for a few seconds too long for my liking. Just a thought! Keep up the great videos, happy holidays!

Ten years ago when I made the jump from inline styling to using css, I apparently didn't realize the difference between ids and classes. So I'd end up with ; then I "moved" to using classes for styling and ids for identifying. And I'd end up with a . So now the style.css file for my largest legacy site is full of lines like #classname, .classname {... style here ... } . Someday (ha ha), I'll clean it up.

Strong and em tags are semantic ("strong" emphasize and "normal" emphasize = visually bold and italics). So screenreaders could get the semantic meaning without the user being able to see it. Unfortunately the screenreaders don't give that information to the user. Still better to use though

@@lonelylosersclub8453in regards to start making sense, that’s a funny one. I’m going to use my experience learning google firebase, npm and connecting to a backend server. I started learning v8 right when v9 came out and of course it completely changed and I couldn’t find any v9 courses for like 2 months, so I needed to try to figure things out without much growth. You’ll go through phases at least I did and still do. phase one is watching a tutorial. You don’t have any idea, but you build something, and you feel great afterwards. You think you know it, but you don’t. You actually learn a lot, but practically it doesn’t give you much until you start building on your own. Phase 2 is required deviation of that code. Any deviation breaks the code ( because you don’t really understand it.) so your frustrated and you realize you don’t really know it. phase three is you rebuild it using a different tutorial or you just start over. You start seeing what works and what doesn’t, you start recognizing g patterns of why something works or doesn’t work and you start saving the working code. You then have a good premise of why but you don’t fully understand it yet. The last step is repetition, after you’ve written something out over and over again, and you can trust that you can write something more or less without error is when you can really move on. To get there you’ll see the same thing from multiple people. Like I’ll watch like 6 tutorials, see how all 6 people solve the problem to format code in 6 different ways and that’s really when you have a good grasp of it but there’s one last step. Step 5. You have any idea but you are not sure exactly how to build it. This is where your own creative energies start flowing, you’ll make something it’ll break and you’ll have to go back to what you’ve written before just to get it fix it. It’s this step where I think you really learn the most. You’rve really learned most everything but this step you learn what not to write, what makes something break. It’s what takes the longest but what creates functional results. Sorry to go on so long. This is definitely not something set in stone. I’m really just going off the top of my head so with some planning I could have probably written this more concise and better, but you get the idea. Here’s just a bit of inspiration: I had an impromptu meeting with my boss (I’m a business consultant pretty much but my job description varies quite a lot. My boss wanted me to describe what I’ve been working on. (I’m creating a CRM web app, with a bunch of different functionalities; Manipulating data and outputting PDF presentations for customers. After showing him mindmaps of the breakdown of the app, with working examples of code that I’d have made of the essential parts, and UI designs I had made in Adobe XD, he offered me $15k, to produce it in 2 months - he was already getting it for free but he wanted to pay me that much to build it quickly. (I don’t think it’s possible at least not by myself.) I’ve maintained communication clarifying full ownership of the product, but that my employment provided lifetime usage of this product for as long as the servers. We’re live. So now I’m frantically trying to build it. I’ve got a meeting with him tomorrow to provide a timeline with milestones to make a finalized deal. We’ll see what happens.

I actually have a question, do I really have to have only one main/header/footer per page? Because I've seen some people say that you can have multiple in different parts, as long as it's the header/main/footer of that specific part. For example: I have a card, my card has a header, a body and a footer I can use a header tag for my header, a main for my body and a footer for my footer, is that correct or is it semantically wrong?
@edwardgray6167
@edwardgray6167 2 жыл бұрын
A bit of both. There is a spec that says you can specify additional mains (e.g. in asides) but none of the browsers implement it at the moment. Kevin did a video on this very topic a few months ago. You should be fine to add header/footer inside sections and asides etc. But adding additional mains will cause issues. Try setting up pages with or without additional mains and running your browsers accessibility in dev tools. Should flag up any issues with multiple mains.
