HTML and CSS coding?

Anyone else that does it ?

I’m a novice. I started learning it two years ago, but it’s one of those projects that has been gathering dust figuratively. I have too many interests.

Looking at the state of my homepage, I probably wish I knew it a bit better.

HTML and CSS aren't really coding, but yeah - I've done a fair bit of it in my computing degree.

To elaborate on the above statement, I'll say HTML and CSS are not programming languages, they're mark-up and style sheet languages respectively - so it depends on your definitions. One could loosely say you're "coding" because you do indeed write code with those languages, but you're definitely not programming.

Anyway. Its an on and off hobby for me. For beginners, I recommend trying courses at places like Khan Academy, which is primarily how I first learned JS (and general fundamentals/practices). And it goes without saying there are floods of tutorial vids on Youtube. Nothing is as good as working on projects, though.

I'm by no means a full-on programmer, but its definitely a skill and hobby I like to dive into and develop at times. I entertained the career path (and still don't rule it out). A friend of mine is a web developer which has definitely helped inform me.

I know basic HTML. I don't really understand CSS.

I did some basic web coding in my last few semesters in university, HTML, CSS, JS, Bootstrap, WebGL. It can be fun, but I think it's not my favourite programming field.

I do C, C++, and C#. My favorite thing to do is to see how fast I can get the code to perform. It's all about the optimal algorithm and the Order of the algorithm (the "big O").

I don't really understand CSS.

It's similar to HTML but is more for stylizing, making the page look pretty. (CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets (Cascading Style Sheets - Wikipedia), and is typically used in conjunction with HTML). It's also a Markup language as described by a couple others here.

If anyone else here uses Reddit and say, goes to r/overwatch or something else with a nice Subreddit Theme to it, all the image positioning/sizing, fonts, font sizes, the Subreddit Wiki areas and sections, Headers, etc. are all done with CSS.
