How not to learn HTML and CSS

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.

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.
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.
It's right at the back of your mind but you can't quite write it correctly.

**

How can you solve this problem?

**

  • Navigate to VSCode settings and look for inline.

  • Untick the checkbox to enable/disable inline suggestions.

  • You can go further by:
    Going to Tools -> Options -> IntelliCode -> Completions for whole lines of code(turn this off).

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.
