Hi I am Rittik and I am still quite new to this development world. I came to know about web-dev when I was in my 8th semester when I was doing my internship with a fin-tech start-up. ( Yes, Of course I am an engineer but I took instrumentation as my branch i.e. not CS). Before that I always was scared to code and I had a stigma attached to it that it's too damn difficult.
I couldn't be more wrong. Coding is not difficult it just requires patience and persistence. I started with JAVA learned the semantics did some problems but I couldn't see the visible output, nothing being created was visible and then came the web-dev with its HTML,CSS and javaScript to rescue me. That is the beauty of web-dev, whatever you learn in web-dev you can implement it, develop it and see it building in front your eyes and it's just magnificent.
I stated with HTML the skeleton of the web and gave it around 5 days. I learned about the HTML tags and about how they are placed and used in a website. The id and class attributes for each tag along with attributes like type, placeholder etc gave me an idea about how to modify a simple tag and make it more descriptive and elaborate.
For eg. the label tag can be grouped with the input tag so that the browser can understand for which input it has been placed.
<label for="dob">Date Of Birth</label>
<input id="dob" type="date" />
Next I stated learning about the CSS - "the one that makes it all beautiful". Using the id's, class and tags we can target specific elements of the HTML in the website and change the way they look. It is one of the things that you would want to be perfect but there is always one element that goes out of alignment but it's worth all the efforts.
For eg. you can change the heading colour, it's size and it's positioning all with the help of CSS.
.heading{
font-size:3rem,
color:red,
font-weight:bold
}
The logic to the website comes from the javaScript and hence, it's called the brains of the website (Don't think that there are any similarities between java and javaScript, it's the same as that of a car and a carpenter). This is the scripting language that is mostly being used by everyone in world and why not it's astonishing what one can achieve using this language. It can detect each and everything that you do while you are in a particular website and it can change the CSS depending upon your action.
The field is vast and I am still to learn many things from frameworks to databases but I am really liking it and hope my journey to become a fullstack remains as exucting as it is now.
