Introduction To HTML

[Note: You need a text editor to do this. You can use Notepad or Text Edit. But it's so much better to download VS Code / Visual Studio Code. Save it with an extension of .html]

HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language

It is used to create webpages/websites.

It has a bunch of tags within angular brackets <....>

There are opening and closing tags for every element.

Opening tags look like this <......>

Closing tags look like this

The HTML code is within HTML tags. ( // code)

Here's the basic HTML code:

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title> My First Webpage </title> </head> <body> <h1> Hello World </h1> <p> Sometimes even I have no idea <br> what in the world I am doing </p> </body> </html>

Line By Line Explanation :

<!DOCTYPE html> : Tells the browser it's an HTML document.

<html> </html> : All code resides inside these brackets.

<head> </head> : The tags within these don't appear on the webpage. It provides the information about the webpage.

<title> </title> : The title of webpage (It's not seen on the webpage. It will be seen on the address bar)

<body> </body> : Everything that appears on the webpage lies within these tags.

<h1> </h1> : It's basically a heading tag. It's the biggest heading.

Heading Tags are from <h1> to <h6>. H1 are the biggest. H6 are the smallest.

<p> </p> : This is the paragraph tag and everything that you want to write goes between this.

<br> : This is used for line breaks. There is no closing tag for this.

-------

Now, we'll cover some <Meta> tags.

Meta tags = Notes to the browser and search engines.

They don’t appear on the page.

They reside within the head tag

Line By Line Explanation:

_____

This is my first post in this topic. I'll be focusing on the practical side more than the actual theory, really. You will just have some short bullet points for most of these posts. The first 10 posts would be fully HTML. I'll continue with CSS later. And by 20th post, we'll build the first website. So, I hope it will be helpful :)

If I keep a coding post spree for like 2 weeks, would anyone be interested? o-o

@pirrhyc sent:

Pelleas arrives at Micaiah's dorm room in the dead of the night, fresh off the boat that had ferried him back to Fódlan and then the carriage ride that had taken him back to Garreg Mach. He considers knocking on her door but then remembers the hour, settling instead for leaning against her door and waiting for a more normal hour to try, not disturbing her sleep. But in the end, he finds he dozes off. When the morning comes and she inevitably goes to open her door, the force of what he had been leaning against being taken out from behind him sends him careening back, jolting him awake as he unceremoniously flops onto the flooring of her room, staring up at her with now wide eyes and hair splayed on the ground beneath him. The suddenness of it robs him of his thoughts briefly, but after a moment, he clumsily speaks the first thing on his mind. “ I've missed you, Micaiah. ” A beat passes and a realization hits him however, and he begins to add onto that, pulling himself up off the ground as he speaks. “ S-Sorry, this was a bit, uh, strange, wasn't it? I know I was gone a lot longer than I told you though I would be. My apologies. I didn't mean to, I swear... Though I guess my word only means so much now, doesn't it? ” Upright and fussing with the hair at the nape of his neck, he gives her a sheepish smile, trying to figure out his words. “ In any case, I'm glad I finally got here in time. Now that we're both here together, happy birthday, Micaiah. ” He takes out the wrapped present box he had tucked away in the inside pocket of his jacket and holds it out to her. Inside is a nondescript looking journal, but when one opens it, it is filled margin to margin in Pelleas's own handwriting. “ I know you seemed pretty interested in my cooking before, so I wrote down every recipe I've learned growing up and here at the monastery. I tried to suit them to your tastes though. I know we're not exactly the same, hahaha... There's a few recipes there for remedies too rather than meals. Growing up, I was pretty sickly, so I tried a lot of different things to help me. I don't know if you'd need them, but I figured you might just want to know them still, arrogant as that might make me. ” Micaiah knows plenty on her own that he's certain she didn't need his experiments and knowledge to get by just fine. She endeared people to her and could always learn no matter where she went.

But anything to get her to need to use Sacrifice a little less, just the same as she wished him to exhaust himself a little less too. It is just as much for the sake of those she wishes to heal as well as for her sake for survival in the long-term. She would live a long time regardless, but a part of him hoped to preserve her lifeline for as long as it might go. “ That way, even after I'm long gone one day, you'll still have me. When you help people, I want to be by your side. I want to feel as if I'm helping you and them both, Micaiah. ” A lifeline that, if everything went as it ought to, would far outlive his own. “ ...Might I? ”

In general, Micaiah is not used to nearly tripping over other people; much less people right outside her bedroom door, and certainly not her rather tall fiancé.

She wants to sternly remind him he has a key for a reason, but having just averted disaster and with him looking up at her like that she finds she rather does not have it in her. She had missed him too.

“It’s alright,” Micaiah says, sitting down next to him once he’s righted himself, “for everything,” she adds, “after all, I trust you.”

She accepts the present with a smile, beginning to open it up just as Pelleas starts in on explanations - a routine she can say she loves just as much if not more than his thoughtful gifts.

“Every single one?” She marveled. “I knew you had an impressive memory, but this goes beyond that. Some of these surely you had to have come up with on your own…”

Micaiah’s writing is detailed and intricate because she has had so many years of practice inscribing with the ancient tongue and modern alike; she knows it was not the same for Pelleas. It is for this reason every one of his messages he has penned to her is a gift she has kept to this day.

“We both have talked of our faults but this is hardly arrogance,” she says gently, and then he continues on as if having looked into her heart:

even after I'm long gone one day, you'll still have me

She nods rapidly once she realizes he’s turned it into a question, not trusting herself to speak. They want the same thing after all - they’ve always seemed to, just never knowing how to express it.

She sets the journal aside gently and falls into his arms: “of course, I want you with me. Always.”

She may not have had wings on her back but she imagines if she did, they would feel like the weight of that word. There were so many people Micaiah would never let herself forget - Pelleas chief among them.

It was alright if she couldn’t fly, she’d learned to love this small center of gravity all her own.

“Thank you, Pelleas,” she says, content to say in his embrace so long as he is holding her there, “it is a wonderful gift.”

Python allowed me to take on real-life projects with ease. I built web applications using frameworks like Flask and Django, and I even dabbled in data analysis and machine learning. The versatility of Python broadened my horizons and showed me the real-world applications of computer science.

Chapter 4: A Glimpse into the Future

Continual Learning:

As I prepare to graduate high school and venture into higher education, my journey with C, C++, and Python has instilled in me the importance of continual learning. The field of computer science is dynamic, and staying up-to-date with the latest technologies and trends is crucial.

Networking and Collaboration:

I've also come to appreciate the significance of networking and collaboration in the computer science community. Joining online forums, participating in coding challenges, and collaborating on open-source projects have enriched my learning experience.

Conclusion: Embracing the World of Computer Science

My journey as a 12th-grader exploring C, C++, and Python has been an enlightening experience. These languages have not only improved my computer science profile but have also given me a broader perspective on problem-solving and technology. As I step into the future, I'm excited to see where this journey will take me, and I'm ready to embrace the ever-evolving world of computer science.

If you're a fellow student or someone curious about programming, I encourage you to take the plunge and start your own journey. With determination and a willingness to learn, the world of computer science is yours to explore and conquer.

What You Say Matters

Every time someone made fun of him, he'd feel a pang in his head that would ripple to the rest of his body. It was getting harder and harder to focus in class, his eyes drifting to the other guys. Focusing on their muscles as they moved, their white perfect smiles, their towering height. It was absolutely unbearable. In between classes would be extra embarrassing because he'd be chubbed looking at all the guys in the hallway, which only led to more harassment.

But as the months went by and summer came, people stopped mocking him and making fun of him - but he didn't notice that. Every time someone made fun of him for his height, he'd grow an inch or two. Every time someone made fun of his fat, he'd shed a pound and put on a bit of muscle. Everytime someone called him ugly, his face would become more symmetrical and his crooked teeth would fix.

On the last day of school he towered over the other students at 6'10". His gigantic bodybuilder body barely fitting into the doorways. Everyone was completely captivated by him, no matter what their sexuality was- everyone couldn't get enough of him. It was common place for him to tent in his shorts, a huge 18 inch throbbing soda can thick python, and no one react. The desks that he sat at would have pre stained on the underside of them, and those desks were worshiped like the commandments.

Anyone he wanted was at his fingertips, and as far as he knew- this had been his life forever.

Junglavara Dorm Info

ஜுங்கிலவர/Junglavara

The dorm that reveres the Beast of the Wild's spirit of Strategy.

Junglavara is composed mostly of beastmen, many of whom have come to feel at home in its wild, territorial atmosphere. Within their own ranks, Junglavara students operate like a tight knit pack, all while being at odds with one another. They’re efficient and quietly competitive. Strategy games, tests of strength, and evening sparring matches are common pastimes.

Housewarden Sarhan Khar is a tiger beastman with an ever-watchful gaze. Though his temperament can be cool and distant, it’s his intense protectiveness of his dorm that really defines him. Sarhan holds a deep distrust for those from other schools, and even other dorms. Under his leadership, Junglavara has become fiercely insular, with most students adopting similar sentiments. To be deemed an outsider is to be met with cold indifference, if not outright hostility.

Vice-Housewarden, Kaabera Python, a peckish python beastman that serves as Sarhan’s counterbalance. Where Sarhan is firm and commanding, Kaabera is silky and observant. He’s usually the face– or tail you’ll be greeted with should you wander into Junglavara uninvited.

I also finished it's dorm page! Go check it out here

The main structure of the dorm is an ancient temple, a grand complex of stone cloisters, intricately carved spires, and open rooms and courtyards that are overgrown in foliage yet still tidy, much like the wilds it resides in. Vines creep along moss-stained pillars, and traditional lanterns light the paths after sunset. This structure houses common areas, study halls, and even a communal hot spring!

The Beast of the Wilds is a noble Bengal tiger, known to be the protector of the Vanavine Wilds. When a reckless child of man wandered in, bringing fire and fear, the Beast rose not out of hatred, but out of duty. He warned the jungle of the danger this boy posed, knowing fire would consume all if left unchecked. Though painted as a villain by those who feared his power, the tiger was the jungle’s silent guardian. He was willing to be feared, if it meant the jungle could remain untouched by man’s destruction.

*screaming*

*continued screaming*

Okay. So. My introductory Visual C# class.

The professor for that class was Alice. Alice was the person who spoke in the introductory video and the person who we were supposed to email if we had any issues.

But all of the assignments, lectures, and quizzes were written and delivered by Bob. On the youtube channel "Bob's programming academy." The quizzes included Bob's name, like "if you do X will it return the string ProfessorBob, Professor, Bob, or Professor.Bob?"

This class was really frustrating for me because it was structured in such a way that you could easily pass the class with zero knowledge of the subject - it was totally based on quizzes that you could take an unlimited number of times and we *had* weekly programming assignments but they weren't graded so there was no incentive to do them (and look, if I wanted to teach myself programming with no incentives I could fail for several years to do that on my own, I don't need to pay fifty bucks a unit for that; the reason I am in a *class* and am not self-taught is because I need external motivation. That's why I sought out a class).

Also when there *was* a problem with an instruction that was unclear in one of the videos for the assignments, or if I thought I'd done something correctly that was very much incorrect, it wasn't Alice who had created the instructions, it was Bob - in 2017 no less - and I didn't really feel like I could ask Alice for help with an ungraded assignment that she hadn't written.

So. Now. My Python class.

Today is the first day of class. Professor is Charles.

I go to the mandatory attendance quiz and it is word-for-word the same mandatory attendance quiz as the C# class, down to the final question "what is your personal email address so I can keep in contact with you after the semester?"

I look at the syllabus.

Class grade is based on quizzes. We have assignments but none of them are graded. There's no textbook, just a series of videos from Professor Bob's Programming Academy.

So I'd been toying with staying at this school and trying to take more CS classes instead of going to another school, just to try to keep my records easier to manage, but since it seems like that *ENTIRE DEPARTMENT* is five Professor Bobs in a trenchcoat, I will probably be going somewhere else (and once again trying to force myself to do projects that I already know are *good for me to do* but *useless for the class and a massive time suck*)

I should drop this class. I should drop this class and apply for the other school so that I can start taking classes there in the spring because if I take this class and then go into the object oriented programming class in the spring and it's another professor bob sock puppet and I end up taking twelve units of programming classes where all I learn is how to google answers in a short time frame (something I already know how to do thanks) I am going to fucking lose it.

Also, again: I have a Bachelor's Degree. I spent five years at a community college when I was getting that degree. I took probably a dozen online classes starting in 2005 and going until 2011 in the process of getting that degree.

THIS bullshit, this "I'm your professor but actually I'm not and all the materials were created by someone else in the department or came directly from the textbook publisher and there is no writing and there are no assignments everything is multiple choice quizzes that are automatically graded" is *dogshit.*

This is NOT how online classes worked back in my day, not even online math classes, and as much as I know adjuncts are getting fucked over by academia in general, this isn't something that these professors should be getting paid as much as they are to do. Alice checked whether or not students turned in a hello world assignment and gave a pass/fail grades for three discussion boards that were responses to youtube videos. Nothing else in the class required her input. If this is the level of instruction that students are getting then the class is already automated and the students shouldn't have to pay for it.

This is crap. This is an incredible level of crap.
