I started out with game development because my desire was to create games that people would be able to enjoy as much as I do.<br> I learnt C# and GD script during this time and was stead fast on creating little projects until, my laptop finally gave up on me and went bad. </p> <p>In place of game development, learning HTML and CSS was within my reach with my android phone at the time, thus peaked my interest into web development. <br> Not long after that, I lost interest in the tech industry in general, that was until I saw people my age bringing innovative ideas to life with the skill of programming. This gave me an idea of what was possible in the tech industry.</p> <p>As of now in the present, I am actively learning web development in White Creativity which is the tech firm I am doing my IT, I intend building my skills to provide value for not just employers but the world as a whole.</p> Jayden Thu, 06 Jun 2024 08:47:11 +0000 https://dev.to/jaydenomins/how-not-to-learn-html-and-css-59oh https://dev.to/jaydenomins/how-not-to-learn-html-and-css-59oh <p>When starting off with learning any language, VS(Visual studio) code does not disappoint in serving as a good text editor. A fan favourite reason being the rich auto completion feature that auto completes code elements for various languages. </p> <p>In the process of learning a language, a person might be doing well following tutorials whilst using this auto completion feature until the time comes to write a line of code without a tutorial, and especially without auto completion.<br> You will find out that you have not truly mastered how to write the actual elements of not just HTML and CSS but any programming language.<br> It's right at the back of your mind but you can't quite write it correctly.</p> <p>**<u></u></p> <h2> How can you solve this problem? </h2> <p>**</p> <ul> <li><p>Navigate to VSCode settings and look for inline. </p></li> <li><p>Untick the checkbox to enable/disable inline suggestions. </p></li> <li><p>You can go further by:<br> Going to Tools -&gt; Options -&gt; IntelliCode -&gt; Completions for whole lines of code(turn this off).</p></li> </ul> <p>After doing all this , your coding will be more hands on and you will eventually be able to recall HTML and CSS elements like the back of your hand.</p>
