Although HTML seemed overwhelming at first, it was incredibly helpful having someone break down what all the tags, letters, and symbols mean, as well as how they are all used to create something cohesive. The book exercises have provided really great practice and that has probably been the most exciting part of becoming familiar with the coding process. One of the first assignments, creating the Bistro website, was exciting because it was the first time that I was able to directly see how the see of code that I entered turned into something real in a browser. During one of the earlier labs, I was also excited about being able to create and format the buttons at top of my first website and add the picture background, which helped to solidify the importance of css and how much of a difference the small details will make.
One of the more challenging parts of all of this, however, has been the css, mainly because it is so time consuming. Especially being a bit of a perfectionist, it is very frustrating spending so much time on the smaller details of these pages such as the "tabs" at the top of the page. It has been great learning that the css can be embedded though, this will definitely cut down on the amount of time it takes to make these pages as visually appealing as possible.
