Introduction

          Welcome to you CS3 Course! CS2 introduced you last year to the world of software development, using C++ as your primary programming language.  This year you will take what you a had learned and the skills that you had acquired from your CS2 lessons and apply it to web development. You will be using HTML, CSS, JavaScript and Node.js as your tools in order for you to develop a web site with interactive web pages with capacity to create and maintain perpetual data.

          In the first two weeks you will be introduced to HTML and CSS then on the third week you will be using JavaScript, which is the default programming language of all browsers, to enable you to eventually create and interactive web pages. In this first lesson you will be creating your first web page.

Installation Requirements for this quarter:

Before you proceed with this module, make sure to install the following software in your computer if you will be developing your web pages offline:

    • Any Internet browser that comes with your computer.  
    • A text editor. The recommendation for this class is VSCode or Notepad++. You can also explore Atom, Brackets, Sublime and Notepad++. Brackets are especially very convenient to use when you become familiar with the interface.

        You can access the Notepad++ downloadable installer here (https://notepad-plus-plus.org/downloads/). Choose the latest version.

        A text editor is where we type and edit our code in and save it as an HTML file with a file extension of .html. These types of files can then be opened with an Internet browser and be viewed as regular web pages rather than code.

        If you prefer to not install anything on your computer, you can use online text editors. They are also helpful if you use different computers and installing would be a hassle or is not possible.

        Online text editors also execute the code for you and give you a preview of your output right beside your code.  In our course we will be using Replit.  Go to https://replit.com/ and using your pshs.edu.ph email account, please create your account there.

        Other tools to be installed will be communicated with you when we will be using them already.  As of now, the above requirements will suffice for this quarter.
