So as it turns out, learning the basics of HTML through Dreamweaver isn't that scary!!! (as long as you have tutorial videos to guide you the entirety of the way). I wasn't in class on Tuesday, so I immediately felt behind. In order to compensate, I fell down a rabbit hole of Dreamweaver tutorials on Youtube. While I do feel a lot less intimidated by the software, I came to the conclusion that my brain definitely is not wired to write code. I am more than willing to learn and I am really excited to not only be able to add Dreamweaver to the skills section of my resume, but to be able to employ this skill in the future in order to make my own website.
The Adobe Dreamweaver tutorial titled "Define page structure with HTML" really put in perspective how much Dreamweaver basically holds your hand throughout the entire code writing process. My favorite feature is that you don't even need to include the greater than or less than signs (I'm not sure what these are called in programming terms and/or if they are called the same thing) or the backslashes when adding another element of HTML because Dreamweaver adds them for you. However, outside of the code aspect of the program, all of the different tabs and sections on the program are challenging to comprehend.
Overall, I feel a little less pessimistic about this Unit 2 project. Although there are still a lot of things I need to figure out about Dreamweaver, and I am also rather behind on my website, I am excited to learn how to use both Dreamweaver and HTML and I think that having at least a little bit of knowledge of both of concepts is vital in today's technologically run society.
