Master HTML & CSS

Last updated on 2020-03-03

About the Book

This book will teach you two languages that the browsers are using to render a Web Page. HyperText Markup Language (HTML), which is used to structure the Web Page with visual elements, and CSS (Cascading StyleSheets), which is used to tell things about the look and feel of the content, like the font size and the color. It starts from the basics and takes you to an advanced level.

Code Club

https://www.codeclub.org.uk

A nationwide network of volunteer-led after school coding clubs for children aged 9-11.

We create projects for our volunteers to teach at after school coding clubs or at non-school venues such as libraries. The projects we make teach children how to program by showing them how to make computer games, animations and websites. Our volunteers go to their local club for an hour a week and teach one project a week. Each term the students will progress and learn more whilst at the same time using their imaginations and making creative projects. Terms 1 & 2 use Scratch to teach the basics of programming. Term 3 teaches the basics of web development using HTML and CSS. Term 4 teaches Python and so on. We’d like to put a Code Club in every single primary school in the country. There are over 21,000 primary schools in the UK, it’s a big task but we think we can do it!
