Working through the tutorials on Code Academy was extremely valuable and I learned a lot. I have very little experience with HTML and CSS, so virtually everything I was taught was new to me. Some of the lessons went over material already discussed in class, but doing them myself was good practice and helped to ingrain them in my memory.
One of the more important concepts I learned about was adding attributes and changing the style of elements. For example, I learned how to change the font-size, font-family, and color of various elements on a page. Another important tool I was taught was the <div> tag, which allows me to break up a web-page into different sections. This will be extremely useful when creating pages because I will be able to create things like headers, footers, and sidebars.
The hardest thing to remember when using Code Academy was how to link a picture to a site. For some reason it took me longer to remember this than the other lessons. However, eventually I got it down and was able to do it successfully.
