Learning to Code #1 | HTML

By -

I'm RSI (Administration and security of networks ) graduated .. My studies are not related to programming but are related to Networking Administration and Security program , i don't have or believe on limits that's why i'm always Looking for a strangely exciting experience , i believe in creating change by thinking outside the box.
During my undergraduate study i was try to learn what i think im good on it . 

" self-education will make you a fortune ".
So , As part of keeping myself accountable whilst I learn how to code ...

As i said i have decided to create this blog because i felt that i need to share my experiences/ knowledge with you , but the first reason for me is to make this blog as a reference to me because i don't trust my memory.
I thought I would do a weekly summary , this week i wanna talk about HTML (Hypertext Markup Language).
Despite the fact I am teaching myself a purely digital skill, my analogue brain still loves having a sheet of paper to memories important points and details from my studies. That way even after I have switched off the tech for the evening. I can still absorb important information ready to incorporate into the next day of study. I also have a terrible memory, as I mentioned in this post. Although looking up the code and certain tags/attributes/segments is perfectly acceptable, I don’t want to have to do it every five minutes!

What were my aims ?

  •   complete HTML section of course
  •   complete HTML chapters of the textbook
  •   build a basic website using what I have learnt
  •   write up a summary sheet/printable
  •   rewrite notes up neatly
  •   practice some extra code 
  •   extra reading online and find useful resources
Have I managed to achieve that ?


Yes, though it has taken me a little longer to get the printable done than I would have liked. Every little helps, though.
I didn’t consider the scanners border aspect when I wrote up my summary notes for the week, so It isn’t in the best format. But if you are in the process of learning HTML, or trying to memorise the basic rules and elements you might find it quite useful and are welcome to print it out and use it here :



I have managed to build a basic website and have started adding styles to it as I learned CSS (i'll talk about it next blog post).
Slowly but surely I am building up a bank of resources and blogs that I enjoy reading on web development. I have also created a separate bookmarks folder for useful tools I may need when writing code.
What have I found most interesting ?
I love how each new topic just builds on the last and you continue layering them.
My favorite bit about HTML has been exploring tag attributes and their values. HTML tags themselves are fairly simple, but when you start adding attributes it opens a whole new world. Particularly the class and id attributes which allow you to pull elements from your code. You can then add styles or interactivity to them further down the line.
What resources would help you ?
