Coding Tutorial

Notes

Organize resource files by type--images, css, js, etc.
Organize HTML files to reflect the structure of the content
Naming conventions for files and folders:
Use appropriate 3 or 4 character extensions--.html, .css, .jpg, etc.
Use all lower-case letters; numbers are ok
Do not use special characters (like &, %, $) except for _ or -
Do not use spaces: _ is typically used for a space
Use short, descriptive names
Use a systematic naming convention for similar files
The main folder of a site is the root level
Calculating referential links
use / to go "down" a level (into a subfolder)
use ../ to go "up" a level
be sure to use the exact name of the file + extension to target the file with your pointer.

External links: links to content outside of your website. They typically start with http:// or https://
Referential links: links to content within your website. Using referential links in your website is best practice
Bookmarks: links from one part of a webpage to another part of that same page
