After few weeks of learning Js, I wrote down my thoughts on each of the big three: HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Looking back, it’s interesting to see how my understanding has evolved.</p> <p><strong>HTML</strong><br> I actually think HTML is used for the main page. For me, it is what makes up the page—what you can see. That’s all I thought HTML did.</p> <p><strong>CSS</strong><br> As the name implies—Cascading Style Sheets—CSS is used to style the page, give it shape, color, and style. I imagined anything related to decoration, animations, transitions, and transformations was all CSS.</p> <p><strong>JavaScript</strong><br> JavaScript is the big daddy. I see it as the tool for manipulation, making the page respond to different events like loading and clicking. It feels like there’s a god controlling the page somewhere when JavaScript is involved. JavaScript is flexible, versatile, and dynamic.</p> <p>I copied all these exactly from my journal. This was just a few weeks after I started learning JavaScript. I wanted to be able to differentiate between the big three, and I guess my view of them still applies even now!</p> webdev javascript beginners programming Prettytechie Sat, 10 Aug 2024 21:20:01 +0000 https://dev.to/thatprettygirlthatcodes/my-web-dev-journey-3if7 https://dev.to/thatprettygirlthatcodes/my-web-dev-journey-3if7 <p>Hey Dev.to community!<br> I'm excited to start sharing my journey into web development here on Dev.to.</p> <p>I have been learning html, CSS and JavaScript for a while now.
