My CSS Learning Journey

Anjaneya Kariguli — Sat, 23 May 2026 16:45:41 +0000

After completing HTML fundamentals, I started learning CSS to understand how websites are designed and styled.

Initially, CSS looked easy, but while practicing I realized how important it is for creating professional and responsive websites.

Instead of only watching tutorials, I focused more on:

writing code manually
experimenting with properties
building mini examples
practicing daily
📚 Topics I Covered
✅ CSS Basics
CSS Syntax
Inline CSS
Internal CSS
External CSS
✅ Selectors
Element Selector
ID Selector
Class Selector
Universal Selector
Group Selector
✅ Colors
RGB
HEX
HSL
Background colors
✅ Text Styling
Font styling
Alignment
Text transformation
Spacing
✅ Backgrounds
Background images
Background size
Background position
✅ Borders & Box Model
Borders

Padding
Border Radius
CSS Box Model

The biggest thing I learned is that consistency and hands-on coding improve understanding much faster.

Next, I’ll be learning:

Flexbox
CSS Grid
Responsive Design
Animations

Excited to continue the frontend journey

Understanding JDK, JRE, JVM and the Java Flow

Understanding JDK, JRE, JVM and the Java Flow ☕

Today I learned how Java programs actually work internally.

What I Learned

JDK (Java Development Kit)

Used for developing Java applications.

It contains:

Compiler (javac)
JRE
Development tools

JRE (Java Runtime Environment)

Provides the environment required to run Java programs.

JVM (Java Virtual Machine)

Executes Java bytecode and makes Java platform independent.

Java Working Flow

```text id="dsvx9f"
Hello.java
↓
Compiled using javac
↓
Hello.class
↓
Executed by JVM
↓
Output




---

## Compile vs Run

### Compile Code

Converts:



```text id="f7i9pn"
.java → .class

Command:

```bash id="1o84xq"
javac Hello.java




### Run Code

Executes the compiled bytecode using JVM.

Command:



```bash id="h5mr7f"
java Hello

Key Takeaway

```text id="9m1ci6"
JDK → Develop
JRE → Run
JVM → Execute




Understanding these basics helped me connect how Java code moves from source code to actual output.

My HTML Learning Journey 🚀

I recently completed the core fundamentals of HTML, and it has been an exciting learning experience.

When I started, HTML looked simple, but while practicing I realized how important it is for building the structure of every webpage. Instead of only watching tutorials, I focused on writing code manually and experimenting with different tags and layouts.

Here are the topics I covered during my learning journey:

✅ HTML Basics
HTML document structure
Headings and paragraphs
Text formatting tags
Lists
✅ Links and Media
Anchor tags
Images
Audio and video tags
✅ Tables
Rows and columns
Table headings and data
colspan
rowspan
✅ Forms

This was one of the most interesting topics for me.

I learned:

Input types
Labels and the for attribute
Radio buttons
Checkboxes
Dropdowns
Textareas
Form validation
Form attributes like action, method, required, etc.
✅ Semantic HTML

I learned how semantic tags improve webpage structure and readability using:

header
nav
section
article
footer
aside
✅ Other Topics
div and span
Meta tags
iframe
HTML entities
SVG basics
Canvas basics
SEO and responsive basics

The biggest thing I learned is that consistency and practice matter more than speed. Writing code daily helped me understand concepts much better.

My next step is starting CSS to learn webpage styling and responsive design.

Excited to continue the journey and keep building 🚀

Html learning journey

Anjaneya Kariguli — Wed, 20 May 2026 15:52:19 +0000

Today I completed an important step in my web development journey by learning the fundamentals of HTML from scratch.

I started with understanding the basic structure of an HTML document and then explored different types of tags used to build webpages. As I continued practicing, I learned how to create headings, paragraphs, lists, links, and add images, audio, and videos to a webpage.

One of the most interesting parts was learning HTML tables and forms. I understood how tables are structured using rows and columns, and also practiced advanced concepts like colspan and rowspan.

I also spent time learning forms in detail, including:

Different input types
Labels and the for attribute
Radio buttons and checkboxes
Dropdown menus and textareas
Form attributes like action, method, required, placeholder, and more

Instead of only watching tutorials, I focused on typing code manually and practicing each concept step by step. That helped me understand how HTML actually works behind the scenes.

This is just the beginning, but I’m happy to see my progress and consistency improving day by day. Next, I’ll continue with the remaining HTML topics and then move into CSS to start designing real webpages.

Learning in public and building consistently 🚀
