During today’s lecture, we got introduced to the basics of HTML, Markdown, dingus and how to use GitHub to host our work.

HTML:

HTML is the standard markup language used to create websites. It describes to the browser how it’s meant to present information given using elements such as <H1> and <p>.

Markdown:

Markdown is a lightweight markup language that is meant to simplify making a website by replacing HTML elements with simple symbols. For example, in HTML>h1< creates a header, meanwhile in Markdown it is simply #.

GitHub:

GitHub is a website used to host, manage or collaborate on software projects.

Dingus:

Dingus is a tool that lets you see how your markdown elements look in HTML and website form.

Exercises:

After setting up our GitHub accounts, we were tasked with using VS Code and GitHub to turn a section of a novel called “A Street of Crocodiles” or “Sklepy cynamonowe” by Bruno Schulz into a website.
