INTRODUCTION

Foundations of Coding and Web Scripting (HTML, CSS, JS Basics)” refers to an introductory educational module or course that covers the essential, client-side technologies used to build websites. The core concept is learning how these three fundamental languages work together to structure, style, and add interactivity to any web page.

A foundational course on coding and web scripting with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript typically covers web fundamentals, content structuring, visual styling, and basic interactivity. 

Learning Objectives

A course covering these foundations typically aims to teach learners how to: 

• Understand basic programming concepts like variables, data types, control structures (if/else statements), and loops using JavaScript.
• Use HTML to create well-structured web pages with semantic elements, media, and hyperlinks.
• Apply CSS to style pages and control the layout and appearance.
• Make web pages interactive using basic JavaScript commands and event handling.
• Plan, create, test, and debug simple web projects using these technologies. 

In essence, mastering these three basics provides a strong foundation for anyone interested in front-end web development or understanding how the web works. 

  Course Content

Module One: Foundational Concepts

• Internet & Web Basics: Understanding how the internet works, web browsers, servers, protocols (HTTP, HTTPS), and client-side vs. server-side programming.
• Development Environment: Setting up the necessary tools, such as text editors, browsers, and potentially version control systems like Git and GitHub. 

Module Two: HTML (HyperText Markup Language) 

HTML provides the structure and content of a web page. Topics include: 

• Basic Document Structure: Anatomy of HTML tags, elements, attributes, and the
  basic document layout (, , , ).
• Text Formatting: Headings ( to ), paragraphs (), bold, italics, etc..

• Lists & Links: Ordered lists (), unordered lists (), and anchor tags () for hyperlinks.

• Media: Embedding images (), audio, and video elements.
• Tables & Forms: Creating tables for data presentation and forms (,, ) for user input and interaction.
• Semantic HTML5: Using semantic elements (e.g., ,,,) for better structure and accessibility. 

Module Three: CSS (Cascading Style Sheets)

CSS controls the visual presentation, style, and layout of the web page. Topics include: 

• CSS Basics: Syntax, how to apply styles (inline, internal, external stylesheets), and the cascade algorithm.
• Selectors: Element, class, ID, and attribute selectors, as well as pseudo-classes and pseudo-elements.
• Styling Properties: Colors, backgrounds, fonts, text properties (size, spacing, alignment), margins, padding, and borders (the Box Model).
• Layouts: Normal flow, display properties (block, inline, inline-block, none), positioning (static, relative, absolute, fixed), floats, Flexbox, and Grid layouts.
• Responsive Design: Using relative units and media queries to make websites viewable on different screen sizes and devices. 

Module Four: JavaScript Basics (JS)

JavaScript is a scripting language that adds dynamic and interactive functionality to web pages. Topics include: 

• Programming Fundamentals: Variables, data types, operators, expressions, and input/output.
• Control Flow: Conditional statements (if/else, switch) and loops (for, while).
• Functions: Defining and using functions to encapsulate and reuse logic.
• Arrays & Objects: Working with data structures like arrays and basic object creation.
• The Document Object Model (DOM): Understanding the DOM tree structure and how to access and manipulate HTML elements using JavaScript.
• Event Handling: Implementing event-driven programming (e.g., onClick, onChange) to respond to user actions.
