TIL Week 3

Today, we are starting Ruby!!
Very excited for this.
As of now just started with if else/elsif statements which make sense.
!true = false
!false = true
|| = or
&& = and almost like an also
for num 1..10 - writes all numbers except 10
adding ... includes what inside that range and .. includes the ending number

for text

i= 0
loop do
print "ruby!"
i += 1
break if i == 30
end

when talking about index's in array remember that 0 would be considered the first index.
arrays can constitute as different variables like integers, words, boolean
Hashes are like javascript objects or python dictionaries
key-value pairs

TIL Week 2

During this week we have really immersed ourselves in html.
My favorite part was the flex bot froggy.
Really getting into the background of CSS alignment is very interesting.

text-align
text-direction
flex
flex-direction

`
I have also made my very first linktree with my own images and links. I think the hardest part was realizing how to connect everything from my css to my html code, once I realized that connection everything fell along pretty easy. Also css references were life savers!

TIL 1st Week

brenda-techprep — Wed, 12 Jul 2023 20:49:58 +0000

We are learning HTML
Here are somethings that I feel like would be good to keep in mind

<p> is used to start a paragraph, this has to be closed
<em> is used to write a word in italics
<strong> is used to make words in bold
<br> is to make breaks, this does not have to be closed

<ul> stands for unordered list, so bullet points 
<ol> stands for ordered list, so numbered
Each listed item must start and end with <li>
to put in an img you use <img and then close it with / >
href means you are creating a path from the code to another file
rel describes the relationship between the connection
```
