1.  Today’s featured app
http://somebodyapp.com/

What do you think about this app?  Would you use it?  Why or why not?

FYI- this app is part of an exhibition at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston

2.  When you design media for the school lunch department, it will live here in addition to being posted on social media.

3.  Please take this self-assessment survey.  

4.  Coding from Scratch

We will use Notepad++ as our code editor and will preview our webpage in Firefox.

Webpages are created using HTML and CSS. HTML and CSS tell a browser, like Chrome or Firefox, how a webpage should look and how to display its content.

HTML mostly is for specifying the type of content (paragraph, image) while CSS is responsible for how the content looks (color, font).

Let’s just code:

Open up Notepad++

Copy and paste the following.

<! DOCTYPE HTML>

<head>

<title>This is your page title</title>

</head>

<body>

All visible content goes here.

</body>

</html>

Save as index.html

Now we will add text, images, links, and other content.
