HTML

  1. What is HTML? - HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language, it is used to create the structure of a webpage.
  2. What is an HTML element? - HTML elements tell the browser how to display the content and what to label the content.
  3. What is an HTML attribute? - HTML attributes provide additional information about HTML elements, such as size, color, links and images.
  4. What is the difference between a class and an id? When would you use one vs. the other? - You can have multiple elements belong to the same class, however ids are unique. You cant have more than one element with the same id.
After watching the video I realized that subconscious biases are more common than I had previously thought. I also never thought about the fact that having a bias while you are creating a product can make the product worse and less accessible. Before coming to Turing I was in the Marine Corps which is an extremely work environment. Because of this I was working with people from many many different races. This made me drop any preconceived notions I may have had subconsciously previously. That being said, before coming to Turing I ensured that I had an open mind and would treat everyone equally, as I strive to do every day in my life. The software that I would like to build in the future would be accessible by everyone regardless of race, ethnicity, disabiliy or financial status. In order to do this I would have to truly examine any implicit bias that I could have.

Purpose

You will be a contributor in several paired/group project throughout your Turing career working on complex technical challenges. You may be surprised to find out that < 1% of failing projects at Turing are due solely to technical definicines - in fact, the majority of failing projects are due to intrapersonal/team issues. In order to set yourself (and your teammates) up for success, it is critical to clearly communicate and set expectations with your teammates.
