The wonderful World Wide Web.
March 1989, exactly 27 years ago. Mr. Tim Berners-lee, an English computer scientist, propose a solution to help others keep track of large scientific project at CERN, avoid the loss of information and ease access to it. In his proposal, he described a decentralized system where document link to each other via hypertext. The first name he decided for was “Mesh”, but when he started writing the code in May 1990 he decided on “World Wide Web”.
The green milk crate is here for a good reason, but can you spot the potential fire hazards on this picture ?
Every day goals :
Coding, some JS to warm up the day but we focus on HTML and CSS for the rest of the day.
Talking about it, Recorded my fifth walk and talk, maybe I should prepare those instead of just press record…
TIL :
-
DOM Document Object Model, a web page is just a giant object with each tag a nested object, represented like a tree, a DOM
What you see in the browser when you have a look at the source code is actually the representation of the DOM by the browser, not the actual source. -
CSS
- < > selectors
E > A:Use them to select any E element direct child of A element “article > p” will only select <p> tags that are a direct child of <article>, leaving the nested one unchanged.
- box-sizing: border-box; Use it ! to get your calculation right.
- Web browsersers’s ‘user agent stylesheet’ will try to screw you, but by default CSS will also try to screw you.
Quotes of the day :
“there is two type of tags,
<sandwich></sandwich>and<toast>” DT
