Day Four: HTML Form Validation & Semantic Structure

Today, I completed the form validation and semantic structure sections of Codecademy’s HTML course. I’ll be using what I reviewed today to work on my order form tomorrow and then it’s on to CSS review with styling to follow.

Things that stood out today:

• My old friend regex. I last encountered it when I was studying JS way back when and I didn’t love it then, but I imagine that (like everything else I’ve encountered so far), it’ll be less painful this go-round.
• Semantic styling was a bit confusing last time round, mostly because I didn’t quite understrand the use of <section> instead of <div> and how it related to <article> and <aside>, but I’m lots clearer on it now. Everything else seems pretty self-explanatory.

I seem to have come to the end of the free offerings from codecademy, so I’ll be heading back to freeCodeCamp for CSS, which is fine because I’m familiar with them and that’s where I got my first certs anyway.
