Day one with Codecademy

Lesson title: Introduction to HTML

What I did?

    This is the starting page of my first lesson. I actually like the format of this lesson. As it combined learning, trying and seeing how it works all in one page. And the introductions were given in the learning part as well, it was clear and easy to understand.

    

    Then moving onto the next page, a simple diagram showed the basic and most important tags and content.

    As the lesson goes on, after I finish following the instructions, there will be a small green check mark beside the instructions given just like this.

Slowly following the lesson, the instructions gets harder and harder, and there are more steps as well.
However, the instruction is still clear and easy to understand. Hint are also provided when needed as well.

Half way through, there is slowly more and more typing involved. And I noticed that even small mistakes can effect a code, even if it's just a symbol.

Finally done lesson one, I've created a basic web page. They also gave me a review at the very end that includes everything that I have learned, and are all listed out. shown below.

Code to make a list:

<ol>

        <li>title 1</li>

        <li>title 2</li>

        <li>title 3</li>

        <li>title 4</li>

      </ol>

What I learned?

This is the end of lesson one. I did learn some of the new things about programming a web page, such as the use of the tags. However, this first lesson is more like an review to me, as I have already been through it before on my own. But I really enjoy learning with this website, especially when they give short lessons but high efficiency that helps me learn.

What I'll be doing tomorrow?

I will be moving onto lesson two tomorrow, and lesson two is about preparing for HTML, which will be a little bit more intermediate than today.

Apollo 11 50 Anniversary

REAL

	It is often claimed that if the Lunar landings were real, we could see them from the Earth, or the Hubble Telescope. Nope. Fact is they're just too far away. On the other hand, we can see the Lunar landing sites thanks to the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. Here is the picture.
	One claim made by Apollo 11 conspiracy theorists is that the American flag was seen 'flapping' on the surface of the Moon. Fact is, that's totally expected. No, there isn't any wind on the Moon - but there is momentum and intertia. The fabric of the flag was moved around while being set in position, and naturally waved as it was being set up. It also has a pole along the top to keep it in position - otherwise it would hang straight down.
	One of the frequent claims is that the Apollo 11 mission included images of the two astronauts with no obvious cameraman. As National Geographic explains here, that was because there were cameras in the chests of both astronauts' suits, and on the Lander.
	To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the landings NASA put together a series of remastered images and footage of the Apollo 11 mission. The images are stunning, and blow away the age-old criticism that the Apollo footage was somehow intentionally bad to obscure the fact it was filmed in a studio, or whatever.

FAKE

	You can tell Apollo 11 was faked because ...the American flag appears to be flapping as if "in a breeze" in videos and photographs supposedly taken from the airless lunar surface.
	You can tell Apollo 11 was faked because ...only two astronauts walked on the moon at a time, yet in photographs such as this one where both are visible, there is no sign of a camera. So who took the picture?
	You can tell Apollo 11 was faked because ...the module is shown sitting on relatively flat, undisturbed soil. According to skeptics, the lander's descent should have been accompanied by a large dust cloud and would have formed a noticeable crater.
	You can tell Apollo 11 was faked because ...the astronauts made no such exclamation while on the moon, and the black backgrounds of their photographs are curiously devoid of stars.

February Starting Post

February Starting Post

    This month, I planned to start learning coding with an online website---Codecademy. As I am interested in coding and it will also be useful for my post-secondary. It is a big part of Computer Science studies. I will be learning courses on there, and the first unit will be about HTML.

1. What is HTML?

    HTML is known as Hypertext Markup Language. It is a standard markup language for creating and designing web pages and web applications. It is also a standardized system for tagging text files to achieve font, color, graphic, and hyperlink effects on World Wide Web pages.

2. Why Learn HTML?

     HTML is the foundation of all web pages. Without HTML, we wouldn't be able to organize text or add images or videos to our web pages. HTML is the beginning of everything to create engaging web pages.
