Lesson review(3rd lesson, 6 april)

This week's IS lesson was on HTML.
Personally, I feel that it's something quite new and foreign to most of us. Nonetheless, it was still as fun as the previous IS lessons.

1.About HTML

As we have been taught by mr kent, HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language. Basically, it is a very popular "language" to create websites with. Think of HTML as another language, just like English and Mandarin.
So in other words, HTML is a computer language devised to allow website creation. These websites can then be viewed by anyone else connected to the internet. From what I've been taught by mr kent, I can say that it's relatively easy to learn and HTML is also very powerful in what it allows you to create.

2.The HTML Challenge

This was the assignment given to us and it's suppose to allow us to have a taste of how to create simple websites with HTML.
Well, for this assgnment, I didn't have any difficulty doing it as I had my partner to work with.
First, we revised all that was taught in class about html, the tags, how to link pictures and websites and stuff.
After that, it was all easy for us already since the indirect answers are all provided in the handouts, and we just had to spend some time revising it over again to ensure our website looks sound. We learnt a whole lot of stuff about html, example, the absolute and relative URLs.
To summarise it, absolute url brings you to another website from the link given by the website you are visiting, while relative url brings you to a page that is also from the same website(e.g. page 1,2,3, etc.)
We also learnt about the different tags. Something that we found out that is very important to note is that there are tags that come in pairs and tags that don't(single). So for the pairs, it is very essential to remember to put the ending tag after you've written or done anything after it's beginning pair, as it would most probably not work if you don't.


Altogether, I think that I'm starting to get very interested in IT as I thought that the HTML that we've just learnt was very, very intriguing and enjoyable at the same time. I hope that mr kent also had fun teaching this to us and that he would continue to teach us more of such things in the future.
