HTML ​

Learn HTML is good intro. HTMHell is great to learn better HTML practices.

unpic img is nice responsive image component.

Notes ​

• As a general rule, if there will be only one such element on the page, you can use an id. Otherwise, use a class.
• <form method=post\> is good to communicate a mutation.
• When I work on a website, I set the body to contenteditable="true". This allows you to edit all text on the page, which I find helpful to improve the content, and also enables spell checking.
• span is an inline div, it doesn't go to a new line.
• use span for text, div for everything else (buttons, lines etc.)
• HTML file inputs can access photos, videos, and audio captured directly by the device's camera
