Welcome to the Intro To Programming Nanodegree! This
lesson will give you an overview of what you’ll build in this program.

Learn how to make the most of your Udacity resources
as a student. We are here for you on your journey into programming!

Get acquainted with how the web works! Learn about
your browser, the internet, and a filetype called HTML.

HTML stands for “Hypertext Markup Language.” HTML is
the language used to create webpages. Learn the basics of HTML to
create a simple web page!

For this project, you will submit your very first
programming file containing HTML code. HTML is the coding language for
building websites. We recommend taking notes from this section and
using your notes as the content for your HTML file. This project is
not graded. Our reviewers will provide you with helpful suggestions
and advice for learning in this program.

Project
Rubric – Getting Started with HTML

Prepare for this project by getting into a
programming mindset. Make sure you are set up for success!

Learn about HTML page structure, visual styling, and
box design. Work with HTML structure tags to organize your contents.

Create an HTML file for your notes and examine the
differences between structured and unstructured code.

Learn how to add CSS, divs, spans, classes, and ids
to your page. CSS allows you to create the aesthetics that all web
users enjoy when browsing the web.

Review the previous lesson and add style to your
notes. Once you’ve practiced enough, you’ll be ready to create your
own stylish website for your project!

For the project, you’ll use HTML and CSS to make a
stylish web page on any topic. You will apply your knowledge of HTML
Document Structure to your html file and then create custom CSS
styling based on your personal preferences.
