HTML: Hypertext Markup Language
- Semantic Element: This code has meaning to both the developer and browser. Some examples are <table> and <article>. Whereas examples of non-semantic elements are <span> and <div>.
- Structural Element: This code forms the basic building blocks of any webpage by providing structure. Examples include <h1>, <body>, and <blockquote>.
- Meta Elements: These elements provide information to the browser about your website. For example, you should use metatags (<meta>) to describe the contents of a webpage for search engine optimization.
CSS: Cascading Style Sheets
- Selector: This code will help you style your webpage by “selecting” the section you want to style. For example, you would use “.class” to style the elements with that specific class.
- Comment: Your CSS file can include hundreds, if not thousands of lines of code. It is helpful to utilize comments in your code to quickly reference what a particular block is doing to your webpage. For example, <header> </header> → /* All code with the <header> tag will style the header*/
- Property: Properties are defined within selectors. They are separated with a colon and end with a semi-colon. Properties tell the browser what aspect of the selector you are going to be styling.
Javascript
- String: This code is text inside of single or double quotations. For example, “My name is Captain Jack Sparrow”
- Functions: This code is performs a particular task. A function has to later be “called” in your code to be invoked or implemented.
- Loops: This code will run a block of code over and over again. You must specify what condition must be met for the loop to stop running — otherwise, you will run an infinite loop and your browser will crash!
