Week 01

This week, we had a lecture introducing us HTML, some of its history and the important rules to follow when writing it.
The tutorial part asked us to write a similar HTML page as the one that was given as example. We were required to introduce us in the page as well as using some tags for aid, for example:


Paragraph - <p> ..... </p>
Bullet point lists - <ul> <li>
Headings - <h1> <h2> etc...
Images - <img>

After I finish writing, the code was this:




<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Antonio Figueiredo</title>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
</head>
<body>
<h1>Antonio Figueiredo</h1>

<p>Student from Abertay Dundee currentlty taking the "Ethical Hacking and Countermessures" course.</p>

<h2>Home country</h2>

<p>My nationality is Portuguese, as well as my first language, but that is not where I grew up. I have lived in Angola for many time, about 15 years, and is what I consider my home country. The country itself is quite bad for living if we look closer to the quality of life in Luanda, which is the capital.
Luanda was considered the most expensive city in the world two years in a row: 2010 and 2011. This simple fact proves that is not a very good country to reside, but that is not the worst of the problems. Some of them are these:</p>

<ul><li> Health facilities</li> 

<li>Saftey on the streets</li>

<li>Endless traffic </li></ul>

<h2>Academic past</h2>

<p> The teaching institution I chose to study is a Portuguese one, with exact correspondence with Portuguese education laws and obligations, which allowed me to apply for Abertay as a EU student. After finishing highschool, I studied one year in Cambridge as a foundation year, after which I applyied to Abertay University.</p>

</Body>
</html>



It's a very short introduction, but all the tags required were used and, the final product is correct and working in the 5 browsers given. This code also passed the validation test with 0 errors and the final result is this:
