=== Recap Optimizing Images for The Web ===

Last session we covered many aspects/techniques related to optimizing your images for the web.
* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_file_formats Image Format Reference]
* I forgot to show the excellent tool [http://imageoptim.com Imageoptim] for further compressing your images

=== Reviewed Text and CSS Editors ===

; Quick solid overview on design and HTML editors are in a few of the slides here:
: [http://choppingblock.com/presentations/tools-of-the-trade-2014/#/12 Tools of the Trade: Photoshop, Illustrator, Sketch, Textmate, Sublime]

The web inspector within your web browser is an insanely useful design/develop tool.

; And then there is Espresso, for visual CSS/HTML editing:
: [http://choppingblock.com/presentations/tools-of-the-trade-2014/#/32 Tools of the Trade: Espresso]

We discussed three separate HTML & CSS tools that you should be familiar with for this Semester.

I have created a [[Desktop:Text Editors|Text Editors reference page for you here]].

=== Refresher on HTML & CSS ===

Our first big task is to review HTML & CSS techniques in an effort to get everybody more comfortable hacking away at their websites.

Download the choppingblock / html-css-demos files [https://github.com/choppingblock/html-css-demos/archive/master.zip from github.com here]

* We reviewed the basic HTML tags:
** [http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_hn.asp HTML Headers: <h1> to <h6> Tags]
** [http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_links.asp HTML Links: <a href="#">link</a> Tags]
** [http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_ul.asp HTML Unordered Lists: <ul></ul> Tags]
** [http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_ol.asp HTML Ordered Lists: <ol></ol> Tags]
** [http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_img.asp HTML Images: <img /> Tags]
** [http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_paragraphs.asp HTML Paragraph: <p></p> Tags]
* We reviewed the HTML tags used for styling regions of pages:
** [http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_div.asp HTML div: <div></div> Tags]
** [http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_span.asp HTML div: <span></span> Tags]
* I showed [http://csszengarden.com csszengarden.com] and the possibilities that CSS can bring to your HTML sites.
* I showed how to format a basic page using Espresso.

=== Photography Site Building (CMS) Solutions ===

There was a time where a Photographer would build (or hire somebody to build) their website from scratch. Adding and removing content from these websites would require somebody to edit the HTML and upload the changes to a web server. Successful websites are no longer built like this... Content Management Systems (CMS) have redefined how the internet works. These tools are either hosted, or need to be installed on your webserver to run.

This week I introduced the class to the concept of Content Managed Solutions. We will be spending a lot of time looking at these options.

I have created a [[Online:Site Building (CMS) Solutions|Site Building (CMS) Solutions reference page for you here]].
