lesson 3 reflection

Today we learnt to make websites using HTML (hypertext markup language). This is the basic code for creating a webpage:
html
head
/head
body
/body
/html
Of course, there are still other codes like b and u, which bold and underline respectively. One of our assignments was to pair up with a friend and create a website (HTML challenge)(we finished ours today). We were also supposed to complete a HTML worksheet.

Lesson 1 reflection

Today we learnt about how web 1.0 was different from web 2.0. We also learnt about the history of the internet. The internet was originally called the ARPANET and it was created by scientists from america for exchanging information regarding the security and defense of their country. Also, we learnt about URL and IP adresses. URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator and it is the address of a web page on the internet. IP address stands for Internet Protocol address. It is a numerical code assigned to all computers.
