HTML Links, CSS Layout, JS Functions
Chapter 4: Ch.4 “Links” (pp.74-93)
Links are the defining feature of the web because they allow you to move from one web page to another.
| Type | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Anchor tag | is the tag that creates the link to other pages | <a href=”url”>name</a> |
| Relative URLs | Used when linking to other pages within the same site | |
| Absolute URLs | Used when going to a specific site of a page | |
| email links | To create a link that starts up the user’s email program and addresses an email to a specified email address, you use the <a> element. The value of href starts with mailto: |
<a href="mailto:jon@email.com">email jon</a> |
| Opening new windows | Use the target attribute to open a link in a new window |
a href="URL" target="_blank">name</a> |
| Linking on the same page | Used for when your page is really long and you want the user to get to a specific part | <a href="#example">example</a> <h2 id="example"><h2> |
Chapter 15: “Layout” (pp.358-404)
| Type | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|

Chapter 3 (first part): “Functions, Methods, and Objects” (pp.86-99 ONLY)
Functions let you group a series of statements together to perform a specific task. If different parts of a script repeat the same task, you can reuse the function.
keyword| Description —- | —- Calling| When you are retrieving a function. Parameters| information passed to a function. Return Value| The answer the function gives you. function keyword| Identifying that it is a function. function name| What identifies the function. follows the function keyword Code block| the code in between the curly braces. queue| an abstract Data Structure where items are kept in order Example:
Function Expressions - when you put a function where the interpreter would expect to see an expression.
example
Immediately invoked function - pronounced iffy, these functions are not gives a name. Instead they are executed once.
Parameter vs Arguments - Arguments specify values. Parameters don’t.

- iterative loops
- Code reviews
- fast feedback
- error checking
- linting
This dramatically improves the quality of code that software devs use

Research indicates that pair programing takes slightly longer, but produces higher-quality code that doesn’t require later effort in troubleshooting and debugging
