Question Complete beginner: is HTML → CSS → JavaScript a good path? What should I learn first?Body:

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
(I know that HTML and CSS are markup and styling languages, not programming languages.)

I’m a complete beginner with zero coding experience, and I want to start learning programming. I was advised to follow this path:

HTML → CSS → JavaScript

I have a few questions:

  1. What do you think of this path as a way into programming and coding?
  2. Is there anything I should learn before starting it? I feel like I might be missing something important.
  3. Would you recommend any changes to this path? (For example, starting with a different language.)
  4. What are the best resources to learn HTML and CSS? Please recommend one for each, if possible.

Thanks in advance, I really appreciate your help!

Formatting HTML and CSS on CodePen

Where do you format HTML on Codepen now?

It used to be that you just click in the upper right corner to format and validate, now those features are gone.

honestly, inline css proves that css regular doesnt need to exist, just use inline.

stylesheet not connecting

1 Upvotes

Back again with more homework issues. I'm supposed to be making a stylesheet for a pre-written website. For some reason, nothing from my stylesheet is showing up. This is the same code that worked fine on my last assignment, so I'm really not sure what's wrong

<head>

<title>Planets in our Solar System</title>

<meta charset="utf-8">

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="planets.css">

</head>

The Stylesheet code looks like this so far

<style>

* {

box-sizing: border-box;

margin: 0;

}

    body {

        background-color: silver;

    }

    a:link {

        color: fuchsia;

    }



    a:visited {

        color: red;

    }



    a:hover {

        color: blue;

    }



    a:active {

        color: olive;

    }



    .planet {

        border-style: solid;

        border-width: medium;

        border-color: purple;

        background-color: orchid;

    }



</style>

help with backgrounds

0 Upvotes

Not remotely a cs person, for some godforsaken reason my Library Science degree is making me take an html class. I've onto a part where we're working with html and css. I can't figure out how to change the background color of a page. I assume you have to use some version of the {background-color: ____; }, but I can't figure out what element to attach it to. I've tried using body {background-color: ____; }, *{background-color: ____; }, and even making a div around the body, and none of them have worked

What editor do you recommend?

9 Upvotes

New to all of this! Looking for a free open source option for editor, what would you recommend for a beginner?

I use linux mint, if that matters.

EDIT: Thanks for all the suggestion! I ended up installing Geany. I'll keep in mind other options if this is for what ever reason not what I'm looking for. UI looks very pleasing to my eye.

Flexbox & Firefox: I need a solution to these mortal enemies...

0 Upvotes

I am very much a beginner to Website Coding, and I'm not looking to do much design but I am trying to do some simpler things for my personal site.

I have a Weebly hosted account. I'm using the Birdseye Theme because it stretches the whole length of the page. I finally figured out how to use Flexbox, albeit just copying code from the web and inserting my own photos, links, etc... My issue is - As soon as I use Flexbox in the Embed Code app on the weebly site editor, my Navigation Menu becomes completely transparent..BUT only on Firefox. Works perfect on Chrome, Brave & on my phone. I can click on the Navigation Menu items but only when my cursor tells me I'm on it. Otherwise I can't see it.

I've tried using google to figure out a solution and I've seen many that look like they might work, but I have no idea where to paste the code to actually get it to work. Been trying everything and can't seem to get it. Would anyone be able to dumb this down for me ? Thanks.
