My only experience coding so far has been last semester during my Core 1 Interaction class. Although I feel like I mostly had to teach myself, this was helpful to a certain extent. However, I felt like things happened too randomly so I had bits of knowledge on different parts of code but struggled to put things together in a meaningful (and organized) way.
I'm really excited about learning code and that this semester is more focused on interaction design than typography. I felt like last semester I never had enough time to dive into coding as much as I wanted to. I'm a little nervous about being able to do the advanced things that I want to do. For example, last semester I spent hours trying to figure out something pretty advanced with javascript, and when I couldn't get close to it my professor just suggested I do something simpler. While I understood why she said this, I would really love to be able to follow through with my ambitions, especially since I'll have more time now.
I imagine coding will fit in with the rest of my design curriculum and career after college pretty extensively because I'm very interested in wokring for a company like Google doing something between UX Design and/or software development in some way. It's definitely a skill I will really cherish.
I prefer to use Visual Studio Code.
I had to make a Github account last semester, but never actually used it. I don't know too much about it, but I know it can host live sites that I create.
HTML-the content of the site/the ingredients used to bake a cake; CSS-the look of the site/the cake decor and look; Javascript- the interactivity of the site/the way that people cut and taste the cake
Fonts In Use is a public archive of typography indexed by typeface, format, industry, and period. I like this website because it helps me visualize different fonts being used in different ways. It's a great tool for choosing and pairing typography and helps give things context.
Coolors is a generator site that offers different combinations of colors put together. This website is really helpful for me as a designer because I'm super indecisive when it comes to picking a color palette for my projects. This tool really helps because it gives me several different options, with the opportunity to also alter a provided palette if I wanted to.
Type Department is the i qndependent marketplace of type-focused creative media company TYPE01. I particularly enjoy their "shop" section because I love all the styles of fonts and typefaces that they offer. They have a great variety of unique typefaces that really inspire me.

^my brain after this week
A block element starts on a new line and takes up the whole width. An inline element causes any height and width properties to have no effect. And an inline-block element allows you to set height and width values.
