HTML learning progress session on 2026-03-19. User started basic HTML practice in tutor mode. Topics covered: what HTML is, the difference between structure and styling, the purpose of doctype/html/head/body, headings, paragraphs, comments, unordered vs ordered lists, list items, horizontal rule as a section divider, links, images, href, src, and alt. User asked about HTML comments and learned the syntax `<!-- -->`. User also asked about VS Code cursor movement and learned that `End` jumps to the end of the line. Practice completed by the user: - Created a valid minimal HTML page with doctype, html, head, body, title, h1, and paragraph - Added learning comments to reinforce memory of each tag - Added a horizontal rule, h2, unordered list, and list items - Recalled the difference between `ul` and `ol` with light prompting - Added a link to MDN HTML docs and an image with alt text - Learned semantic structure at a basic level using `header`, `main`, `section`, and `footer` - Attempted a semantic rewrite of the page and initially confused `head` with `header` - Corrected that mistake and produced a mostly correct semantic page structure Current skill state at end of session: - User can build a minimal HTML page from scratch - User understands where visible content belongs - User remembers or can now re-derive `ul`, `ol`, and `li` - User has successfully used `a`, `href`, `img`, `src`, and `alt` - User understands that `head` is invisible metadata and `header` is visible page content - User can place `header`, `main`, and `footer` correctly inside `body` Important learning point from this session: - A useful beginner confusion was corrected: `head` and `header` are not interchangeable. `head` belongs directly under `html` and contains metadata. `header` belongs inside `body` and contains visible top-of-page content. Current Day 1 status: - Day 1 is effectively complete. Suggested next lesson when resuming: - continue with more semantic HTML and content structure as needed, or move into the next planned HTML topics from the day-by-day study plan. --- **2026-03-19 20:46:43 UTC | AI Update via MCP**
