#5: HTML & CSS in codepen.io (Visualize the 'boxes')

"Simple Steps to Code a basic website with HTML & CSS" Series

This is part #4 of a "homegrown" video series (there may be dogs, random pauses & husband yelling and doors opening... haha) showing beginners how to code a very basic website using HTML & CSS. I AM NOT AN EXPERT. Just a girl trying for years to teach herself to code.

I use a series of characters I created to bring to the code to life and help my understanding of the abstract concepts.

This video further dives into HTML tag elements & how they are used to "sketch" out a website using simple outlining. Good for visual people who need to understand how a real website works & connects to code BEFORE diving into the code.

I have sat as the only female in male boot camps, watched thousands of videos and used many self instructional tools. It takes me a while to conceptualize abstract things without visual & tactile tools. So, I created some myself! To help me learn.

See my playlist: "In the beginning" for more videos in the series!

These beginners videos are a "step inside my thought process" as I learn to code myself.
