Session 0: Pre-Bootcamp Activity
Goal: Check if all the software / applications needed are installed in your machines (computer).
Directions: Follow the set of instructions below.
Expected Output:
- Create a folder in your Documents folder with the name session0.
- Inside the session0 folder, right click on any space and select:
- Windows: Git Bash Here
- Linux / Ubuntu: Open in Terminal
- MacOS: Select session0 folder, select Services, New Terminal Tab at Folder
- Write pwd (present working directory) command in your Git Bash / Terminal to return the value of your current location. Our desired output should show that we are inside the session0 folder.
- Create an images folder inside session0 using the command mkdir images (make directory <directory name>).
- Open your Sublime Text application, select on File on the upper left of your screen, select Open Folder, click on session0 and click Open Folder.
- session0 folder now appears at the left side panel of the Sublime Text application.
- Right click on session0 and select New File.
- Type index.html in the newly opened tab and press ctrl + s (save). A new file called index.html file should appear inside the session0 folder.
- Create a new file again and name it style.css, save it in the session0 folder.
- Now, you are ready to create a skeleton of your session0 activity, double click on the index.html file. Remove everything and create a boilerplate for your html file by typing <html then click tab.
NOTE: If the <meta> tag did not appear, you can manually copy it or leave it as is for now.
- Change the value of the <title> tag to “John Doe | Web Developer Portfolio” (alternatively, John Doe can be replaced by your own name).
NOTE: Make sure to save your changes, you can click on File then save or ctrl + s, you can look at the tab on top, if it is a circle, changes have not been saved, if it is “x”, changes have already been saved.
- Inside the <body> tag, create a <div> tag, this will be the wrapper for the whole layout.
- Add the following tags inside the <div> tag:
- <h1> tag with the value: Full Stack Web Developer
- <p> tag with the value: Hi! My name is John and I love building things from scratch
- Make sure to save your changes, right click anywhere in your Sublime Text application and click Open in Browser, this should open a tab in your Google Chrome browser.
Expected Output in Browser:
- Find a picture (it can be fictional or your own image) and transfer it in the images folder that you created a while ago. A square shaped image is much preferable for this activity.
NOTE: Rename the image into me.jpg. Make sure it ends with proper image extension (jpg, jpeg, png)
- Add an <img> tag inside your <div> tag, put an src attribute with the path (folder/file name) where you can find the image you want to put.
- Save the changes, refresh your browser to check the image, don’t worry about the size, we are going to resize this in your style.css. Now that your skeleton for session0 is done, let’s customize it.
- Open Google Fonts (fonts.google.com) and click on Roboto. Click on View all styles.
- Add font style, click on Select Regular 400 and Select Bold 700.
- After selecting, click on the upper right corner of your Google Fonts, you will see the selected family icon.
- After clicking the icon, a right side panel will appear showing the selected styles as well as the code that you will copy for your html. Copy the <link> tag.
- In the <head> tag, paste the <link> tag from the Google Fonts and add the <link> tag for the CSS file.
- Double click on style.css, to open it, remove the text from a while ago. Declare the font style. Make sure to save your changes and refresh your browser.
- Now, change the font-size and add a background color to the whole page.
NOTE: The asterisk (*) signifies as a universal selector, meaning it targets everything in the page.
- Now let’s center the elements inside our <div> tag, add the following to your style.css.
- Lastly, resize the image by adding the styles below. Make sure to save your changes and refresh your browser
- Expected final output:
- Save your image link through GDrive . Click on the New button on the upper left and select File Upload.
- Once the image is uploaded, right click on the image select Get Link. Set the General Access to Anyone with the Link
