Today I learned... (TIL) - Week 1


In this post, I want to write and share new concepts that I read, practiced, and learned in the first week of the Software Development Apprenticeship Program at Discovery Partners Institute (DPI).

I learned about:
  1. Email Etiquette Rules and Tips

  2. HTML & CSS recap

  3. Design Reading & Resources

  4. The CSS Cascade

  5. HTML Fundamental Syntax:

  • Boilerplate:

    • A declaration on line 1, stating that it's an HTML document <!DOCTYPE html>
    • An html element that is the ancestor of all other elements. <html> </html>
    • The html element should have two children: a head element and a body element.
    • The <head> </head> element is where we tell the browser how to process the document; things like what title to put in the browser tab, what style sheets to load, what language to use (we will always use a character set called UTF-8 <meta charset="UTF-8">, which allows for all languages as well as things like emoji), etc.
    • The <body> </body> element contains the actual content for the user.
