The workshop will guide beginners through the basics of HTML, CSS & JavaScript by developing a Search UI for Pokémon TCG (Trading Card Game) API (https://pokemontcg.io/). The app searches through the Pokémon TCG database and retrieves the cards related to your favorite pokémon. It’s not a game, but rather a platform that allows sending requests to an API/Database and retrieves results that we display on our app, which is a common case in lots of applications development.
The workshop is divided into three parts (+ extra)
-
- The basics of HTML (+ exercises)
- The basics of CSS (+ exercises)
- The basics of JavaScript (plain JavaScript, no particular framework) (+ exercises)
For those that can complete all three parts without a sweat, there will be extra challenges 🙂
Requirements of the workshop:
-
- A working computer that can run Zoom (https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/201362023-System-requirements-for-Windows-macOS-and-Linux) (https://zoom.us/download)
- and that can run CodeSandbox on a browser (https://codesandbox.io/) (https://codesandbox.io/docs)
- There is no need to know the basics of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript as it’s the point of the workshop; however, the article ”Web Design 101: How HTML, CSS, and JavaScript Work” by Lindsay Kolowich Cox can clarify few concepts ahead of the workshop
