Structure, Functionality, and Design: Which Coding Language to Use For Each

Kristina Brown - March 2, 2023 1 Comment

We have talked all about JavaScript, but there are also other types of coding languages we can use. Another coding language we use is called CSS. CSS is shorthand for Cascading Style Sheets. This coding is used to style the web content. It describes the elements that are displayed on the screen and saves time because you can set the layout of multiple pages at once. Another coding language that is important to web design is HTML. HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language. HTML is responsible for the structure of web pages. HTML displays all the content in a specific order. HTML includes headings, links, images, and text. JavaScript is the interactive portion of the website. HTML and CSS are not capable of interactive abilities. Together JavaScript, HTML, and CSS create cool working sites. Now knowing the information I know now, using websites is a cool experience. There is a lot more that goes into creating a website than I originally thought so there is definitely a greater appreciation for how well these websites work and the dedication that goes into them.

    Hi Kristina,

    I agree that after learning about CSS, Javascript and HTML, using websites is more interesting. I am fascinated with the codes behind the Amazon website because the company stores all your addresses and credit cards associated with your account. This makes shopping there so much easier, I think it also makes people come back to the website because the program is so impressive.
