If you’ve never attempted to code, we’ve set up a simple environment for you to do a few basic experiments. These interactive “widgets” allow you to write code in three basic languages, HTML, CSS and JavaScript. All utilized on the side of web development we call the “front end”. HTML is the structure and content, CSS is the style or appearance, and JavaScript is the processing or the “brains” of the front end application.
In the HTML box, you will see some basic HTML elements which forms the content in the result area below. Try changing the text between the <p> and </p> tags to include your name. Then click on the “RUN” button to see the result change!
In the CSS box you can easily modify the color being applied to the heading, or <h1> element. Try replacing the color shown with a different color such as blue, red or green. Then click the “RUN” button to see the heading’s color change! If you want to experiment more, in the CSS box, change the h1 selector to a ‘p’ to see the paragraph change color instead. You could also try out different colors as well (CSS supports over 200 color names).
In the JavaScript box we can add a fairly simple command to add an alert box feature. Enter the following code in the JavaScript box (be sure to type EVERY character shown!):
window.alert(“Surprise!”);
When you click the “RUN” button, you should see a pop-up alert box appear in your browser containing the “Surprise!” message. Be sure to close that pop-up if you want to experiment with more. Try changing the “Surprise” message to something else and see what pops-up!
This is just the tiniest example of what you can do with some code! To see how we apply this to real websites as well as learning other aspect of Web Development contact Hunter Business School to learn more about what our Web Application Design and Development program has to offer!
