This game will help you understand how to leverage the power of the flexbox functionality in CSS. Basically, you move a frog around to a lilly-pad commensurate of how you’d move content around in a flexbox
I like https://color.adobe.com/ for experimenting with color palettes in an interactive way. I like https://coolors.co if I want some quick suggestions and inspiration.
Also, https://web.dev has some nice CSS learning materials and they link out to MDN (https://developer.mozilla.org/) for deep dives. MDN is THE resource for web development. Make it your start site and try using MDN search, not Google for specific web dev questions. Seriously
And I just discovered this one for icons: https://thenounproject.com/ which seems pretty sweet. I used to use https://fontawesome.com/ but they’re just too set on wanting to make you pay for better icons. The nounproject is all free as far as I’m aware.
If you’re completely new to web dev perhaps it’d be new to you that a bunch of sites provide placeholder images that are super helpful when you’re developing. The one I’ve used is
If you want to put your coding skills to work, but don’t know what to build Frontend Mentor is a great site. They have plenty of challenges from Newbie to Guru. Frontend Mentor
I was looking for some icons and it bugged me that thenounproject, flaticons and others required an account and/or money to download SVG code.

Hello again David,
I remembered that also I’m not sure if the images should be taken only from external sites -using hyperlinks in page or we can store with the entire folder when the page test happens.
Thanks again.
These books have been a savior for step-by-step coding instructions - it teaches you how to build a website from the ground up from starting with HTML to CSS with code samples on each page – tabular indexes/appendices with almost all mostly used/important HTML and CSS codes. It’s been great to use while following along with the curriculum content and matches up nicely. It also provides best practices and an entire section on website ideas - how to approach brainstorming, common ideas for content/UI organization, how to optimize accessibility, make it friendly, SEO, etc. Has been a phenomenal resource in addition to online google searches + YouTube tutorials.
Even if the book is a slightly bit dated - the concepts are all relevant/almost all of the coding is up-to-date or functional instructions. It didn’t break the bank either, I think one of the best purchases I’ve made. The Javascript book is dense in the set - but also super informative with step-by-step examples and coding script resources. Having the indexes physically available of all the codes is wonderful as well and categorized (example would be categorized by both topic and chronological use i.e. you’d start with as base starting code then move into XYZ codes for content management like
etc, then commonly if you wanted to make a list, add images, media, etc then into design with CSS codes) - it’s just nice having a quick reference for all of the major code elements and CSS properties in one spot. Makes designing from ground up much easier.
