What's this all about?
HTML is the language that, at the end of the day, all web pages on the Internet use. Unlike C++ or Python, it's very forgiving. You can just type some plain ol' text in Notepad, save it as an file – and it's ready for publishing on the Web!
What should I bring?
Since we celebrate HTML itself, you can use anything to write: a notes app, pen and paper, or a typewriter even (we'll have one at the event) – but if you'd like to publish right away, going with a smartphone/laptop would be a good idea.
What are we going to make?
Last year, we had a meet in Rotary Park where everyone was free to write anything. You're still very much welcome to work on any project of your choice, but we'll also have a few things to get you started:
- A bunch of Prompt Cards with some ideas of what to write about;
- A Project Guide for a personal website with your bio and social links.
We'll also prepare an HTML/CSS cheat sheet, media assets library, and a webring to help you build your web pages and for others to discover them. Stay tuned!
