Second Lubbock Coding Academy Class
- Describe one thing you learned in class today. Answer: I learned the steps to commit changes to GitHub from Terminal. My terminal commands have always been solid, but Git is new territory for me in the CLI.
- Describe your workflow when you create a web page. Answer: I open Visual Studio Code, and I save the file as index.html. This lets VSC understand that I can now use Emmet abbreviations within the document. After I type an exclamation point and hit tab Emmet expands the abbreviation to what you see below.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang=”en”>
<head>
<meta charset=”UTF-8">
<meta name=”viewport” content=”width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<meta http-equiv=”X-UA-Compatible” content=”ie=edge”>
<title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
I can then continue on adding what I want in the file, but I usually create a styles.css file in the same folder and link it in the head section.
3. Explain what ARIA and screenreaders are, and how to make a website accessible. Answer: Screen readers are assistive technology that helps those with poor or no eyesight navigate the internet. This is why the ALT tag in photos is so important because it tells someone with a disability what the image is described as. ARIA stands for Accessible Rich Internet Applications which helps define a way to deliver web content to those with disabilities.
