Price FREE Get tickets

Event description

This talk, hosted by the lovely Alisa Blakeney, will be covering some of the fundamentals of what the internet is and how we interact with it as developers! As a quick snapshot of what we will be covering in this webinar:

  • The (brief) history of the internet  - from its beginnings as a small set of computers
  • What a 'network' is
  • A website is a (special type of) file! When you access a website, you're actually reaching out to another computer somewhere in the world, and requesting for it to send you that file.
  • What is your browser? Your browser is a program that lets you open website files and interact with them. It handles requests to other computers and the responses they reply with, and takes care of "rendering" the files so that they look like websites instead of jumbles of code.
  • As web developers, we write website files so that other people can access them via their browsers. The languages these files are written in are HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
  • A quick look at HTML - what is a tag? What is the <head>? What is the <body>?
  • A quick look at CSS - what is a selector? What is a property?

This content is targeted at the incoming She Codes Plus cohort but is open to anyone who wants to spend an hour learning something new about the internet.
