What you should know

“

- [Instructor] So before we get started, let's go over a few technologies you should be familiar with. We're going to be working extensively in HTML, so you should be capable of editing HTML files and you should understand what tags are and attributes and be able to work with that. You should also understand the document object model. You should be familiar with how HTML is parsed by the browser and generates the document object model in memory, also, you should be familiar with CSS and CSS selectors. Some of the selectors we're using will use pseudo-targets and will be fairly advanced, so the more comfortable you are in CSS, the more clear some of the code will be. You should also be familiar with JavaScript. We'll be writing several JavaScript functions using timeouts and that sort of thing. And you should at least have a passing knowledge of what SVG is and what it's for. You don't have to know much, we're going to open it in the editor and be able to copy the source code and paste it into our pages, that's about it. And in order to develop all of this, we're gonna be running a local web server. If you don't have a preferred web server, I'm going to show you how to start the SimpleHTTPServer in Python, which can be run out of the box on Linux and a Mac, and if you install Python on Windows, it'll work there as well.
