Day 1
Introduction
Congratulations on deciding to participate in 30 days of HTML challenge. In
this challenge you will learn everything you need to know about HTML, and
in general, the foundation of web development. In the end of the challenge,
you will get a 30DaysOfHTML challenge completion certificate. In case you
need help or if you would like to help others you may join the telegram
group.

A 30DaysOfHTML challenge is a complete guide for both beginners and


advanced developers. Welcome to 30DaysOfHTM! HTML is the build-block of
the web. There is no website without HTML, therefore, to develop a website it
requires an HTML.

In this step by step HTML challenge, you will learn HTML, the standard
markup language for the web. HTML is used to build the skeleton or outline
of any website. The skeleton or outline of the website is styled(beautified) by
CSS(Cascading Style Sheet). JavaScript (JS) can make a website interactive
and dynamic. HTML, CSS and JS are the core technologies to build websites
and these are the skills required to be a web developer. This challenge will
focus on HTML but we will use little CSS to make some HTML concepts more
clear to the readers. A 30DaysOfCSS will be a follow up challenge after
30DaysOfHTML. There are 30 Days of JavaScript, 30 Days of React, and 30
Days of Python by the same author.

Look at the following picture to understand the purpose of HTML, CSS and
JavaScript very well.
The image has been taken from medium article, source.

By the end of the challenge:

 You will have a clear understanding of how the web works


 You will be able to develop a modest static website with HTML and little CSS
 You will know what to do next to become a web developer

The main goal of this challenge is to teach the core building block of the web
that is HTML. Therefore, let's get started by understanding some the
terminologies in this field such as web development, front end
development, back end development, and full-stack.

⚠️This is not a proof read material. You may find typo, grammar and some
technical errors here and there. The content will be updated now and then.
Therefore, do not be surprised you find a typo or a grammar or other
mistakes.

This challenge is easy to read, written in conversational English, engaging,


motivating and at the same time, it is very demanding. You need to allocate
much time to finish this challenge. If you are a visual learner, you may get
the video lesson on Washera YouTube channel. Subscribe the channel,
comment and ask questions on YouTube vides and be proactive, the author
will eventually notice you.

Requirements
The minimum requirement to follow this challenge:

 Motivation
 Computer
 Internet

Web Development
Web development is a process of designing, building, testing, and
maintaining a website which ranges from a simple single page static website
to a complex full-stack applications. This field has two broad categories.

 Frontend
 Backend

Frontend Web Development


A front end(client-side) is a website that a user can see and interact with. It
can be also called a client-side because it is the part that the user(client) can
see and interact with. Therefore, anything we see on any website when we
surf on the internet is part of the front end and it includes the colors, fonts,
buttons, images, videos, audios and any other content on the website. The
technologies that uses to build front end parts of a website are called front
end technologies. The core technologies to build a front end are:

 HTML
 CSS
 JavaScript

There are hundreds of JavaScript that allows building a dynamic web


applications. Currently, the three most popular JavaScript libraries are:

 React
 Vue
 Angular

Do not learn learn JavaScript before, HTML and CSS. Do not learn JavaScript
libraries before you learn JavaScript. This the right sequence of
learning:HTML > CSS > JavaScript > React or Vue or Angular.

Backend Web Development


Backed(Server-side) development refers to the activities that happens
behind the scene. Backend development consists of backend a programming
language and a database. The backend interacts with frontend and the
database using a backend programming language that could be (Node.js,
Python, Ruby, PHP, etc). Look at the following figure to understand the
interaction between client. A client send a HTTP request to the backend and
the backend return a HTTP response to the client computer(The response
could be an HTML page, txt, image, or any other form of data).
HTTP(Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is a communication protocol that allow
transmitting data between a client and a sever. It is designed for
communication between web browsers(client) and web servers.

Full-stack Web Development


Full-stack is another buzzword that no one agrees on the definition. You can
understand Full-stack web development as a sum of frontend, backend,
testing, and including some other technologies. I believe now you have a big
picture of web development.

How the Web Works


By now you should have clear understanding how the web works based on
the information you get on the above two sections. If you want to know more
you may also read this article.

Web Development Tools


Tools you need as a web developer

 Motivation
 Computer
 Internet: To access information or resources
 Browser: allows to render HTML code to a human readable output(website
pages). Examples of browsers(Chrome, Firefox, IE, Safari, Opera, Brave, etc)
 Design Software: allow to create a design or a prototype of the website.
Examples of (Figma, Adobe XD, etc)
 Code Editor: allows to write code. For example(Visual Studio Code, Atom,
Sublime Text, Bracket, etc)
 Git(Version Control Software): allows to manage different version of our code
Before we start developing a website, it is good to recall the common
parts(components) of a website. In the next section, we will cover this.

Parts of a website
A website can have a couple of features or several features. There is no
guideline that tells what a website should have but most of the time a
website has the following common parts(components). For instance, if you
look at the first ever created website, it has just one page and several links.
However, since 1993 to today, for the last three decades HTML has been
evolving and with only HTML it is possible to develop a decent static website.

Let's see the most common parts(components) of a website:

 Website Logo
 Header/Banner
 Navigation Bar/Menu Bar
 Carousel
 Sections
 Forms
 Buttons
 Links
 Images
 Videos
 Audios
 Social Links
 Footer

If you agree that these are components of a website, then you will create
these components to build a website. Actually, once you create a certain
feature it can be used in different projects(reusable). Therefore, whenever
you create a certain part try to consider maintainability and reusability. You
don't have to have all the mentioned above features when you develop a
website. There is no strict guidelines what to have on your website.
