The Path Ahead

That's how the web works: a website is a set of files, with the content in HTML, the look in CSS and the behavior in JavaScript. The files sit on a server, and the browser downloads them by their URL and turns them into the page you see.

So far, you've only changed pages that were ready. Now you'll learn to write them yourself, step by step. Here's where the path leads:

1. HTML. You'll start from the very beginning and learn to write pages with headings, lists, links, pictures, tables and forms.
2. CSS. Colors, fonts, spacing, and layouts in rows, columns and grids.
3. Project: the cinema website. With both languages, you'll build the website of Starlight Cinema, a small old cinema: a home page with this week's films and the ticket prices, and a page with the showtimes.
4. Putting it online. You'll upload the cinema's website to a server, and it'll get its own address that you can send to anyone.
5. JavaScript. You'll learn to program, and to make pages react to clicks and forms and load data.
6. Project: the cinema's showtimes. The showtimes page comes to life: visitors pick a day, choose their seats and book tickets.
7. Tailwind CSS. A modern way to style pages with ready-made classes, used by many of today's websites.
8. Project: the cinema in Tailwind. You'll give the cinema website a new look with Tailwind.
9. React. Web apps built out of components, pieces of a page that you write once and that update by themselves.
10. Project: the cinema in React. Finally, you'll rebuild the cinema as a React app and put it online.

Don't worry if you don't remember everything from this lesson: the HTML course starts from zero and explains it all again, slowly. But before you go, sign your page.
