For the third year, I met all these super women. Not a single one admitted it …typical super hero behavior…denying her excellence, intuition and desire to save the world. Now, time to get her one more killer skill.
Women in programming, engineering and mathematics are still highly outnumbered for many reasons, that isn’t likely to be solved with this 100 strong audience of Arkansas based bloggers. However, all these women are creative writers, photographers, parents, and businesswomen who are all keeping or supporting blogs. Blogger ladies want to fix their own sites, add their own widget, gadgets and dilliwops [my own word].
Guess what powers the engine of a blog, oh and nearly everything? Code!
So…. My mission is to create a special breed of coders… I hack the women!
1. Get started with the foundational structure of the page and how to style it:/ {CSS} W3 Schools comes out of the World Wide Web Consortium that polices the standards.
2. Excellent video lessons from Lynda.com (not free, but worth every penny for a few months of focused learning)
Next week…
Guiding the Whiz Kids through the Minecraft…
Okay…this is something I know very little about & feel as though I need to know. Coding makes my head hurt. And I remind myself, “I don’t know what I don’t know”…until someone enlightens me, like you!
Can’t wait for the Minecraft post…my daughter is playing it on her kindle (solo) & creating the coolest stuff.
Quite an inspiring video! I agree with Kelly. The thought of coding makes my head hurt. I think I’ll check out the website though. Thanks for sharing.
I posted about this on my work blog a few weeks ago…don’t forget the awesomeness of Khan Academy for promoting STEM learning. Thanks for sharing!
I can’t wait to learn more. I had to quickly pick up some of the basics when i redid the website through WordPress for the church i work for. I’m hungry for more!
I love the video! I’ve really enjoyed learning a little bit of code. It’s so empowering. I’ve learned a lot from tools like Firebug where you can test out a code or CSS change without actually altering anything. I’ve also learned that I know just enough to break stuff. So if I’m messing around with a piece of code I copy the original and paste it onto a Word doc and set it aside. Then if I really mess something up big time I can paste the original back in. I’ve also discovered that you can learn a lot just by putting the HTML version next to a web page and figuring out which piece of code goes with what element on the page.
Now, I know that Sarah Daigle Scott wrote this but I don’t see your name anywhere!
