Read: Chapter 13 Working with Web Fonts with the book http://htmlcssvqs.com/8ed/examples/#chapter-13
AND CSS Web Safe Fonts http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_websafe_fonts.asp
Research: Do the W3Schools.com CSS Fonts Tutorial http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_font.asp
you can also get there.................................... w3schools > CSS > CSS Font
Notice ... if you scroll down further ... you see ..................... CSS3 > CSS3 font
There are 7 Try It Yourself and 6 exercises (1 under MORE EXAMPLES + 5 more in Test Yourself)
Now you have tried 13 different interactive coding sessions.
Cut and paste just the AFTER code (code that you changed in the Try it) to your Google Page Assignment08
and tell me in your own words what you learned for each of the 13 pieces of code.
To summarize the 13 pieces of code answer the following questions:
What did you think?
Did your attitude change?
Did you get tired?
or Did you get more confident?
NOW ... let's go back to CSS Syntax http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_syntax.asp
as you scroll through the CSS & CSS3 Syntax page - how do you feel about it? Differently?? Explain
Would you be MORE or LESS inclined to try some of the CSS3 Advanced Font??
ex. Animating Fonts http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/tryit.asp?filename=trycss_anim_font
ex. Text Shadow (css) http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_text-shadow.asp
I'm trying to show you how to play with code - in a sand-box scenario - when you play/experiment ... you learn !
Here is JilMac version http://jam08260.classweb.ccv.edu/WebDev/Assignment08/chapter-13/font-squirrel-example/example-regular-AFTER.html
To View Source: Right Click in the body of the web page > View Source
Here is the CSS http://jam08260.classweb.ccv.edu/WebDev/Assignment08/chapter-13/font-squirrel-example/example-regular-AFTER.css
In addition to W3schools I got some ideas from Google Developers https://developers.google.com/fonts/docs/getting_started#Quick_Start
Here is JilMac's next versionhttp://jam08260.classweb.ccv.edu/WebDev/Assignment08/chapter-13/font-squirrel-example/example-regular-AFTER2.html
and the CSS stylesheet linked http://jam08260.classweb.ccv.edu/WebDev/Assignment08/chapter-13/font-squirrel-example/example-regular-AFTER2.css
did you notice the link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Tangerine" the code looks like our AFTER2.css
CSS is broken into TABS of Reference & Tutorials
the Default is Tutorials
If you click on the References you have many options Reference, Selectors, Functions, etc.
Workshops & Videos:
Google Site - Change your Font (they are already using Google Fonts! )
Google Site - Change your Font color
Google Site - Embed a Google Map
Google Site - Add a footer, getting info for the Footer
Create a Professional FaceBook page
Add a LIKE to your Google site for your FaceBook Professional Page
Before+After: do 3 Before & After examples from the Chapters, put links to them on your Google Web Site's Assignment08 web page.
You might even feel comfortable using an example from the W3schools page you Researched.
When you are ready for JilMac to grade you, put a LINK to the Google Assignment08 web page in Moodle.
Note: The last example uses Google Web Fonts file: using-google-web-font.html
W3Schools.com has GREAT TUTORIALS
You can use these as Extra Credit Opportunities or as Before + After code
Everything is written out - step by step to see if this works for you.
You can start here at the CSS HOME: http://www.w3schools.com/css
The first 4 chapters would be equivalent to one assignment:
CSS HOME
CSS Introduction: http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_intro.asp
CSS Syntax: http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_syntax.asp
CSS HowTo: http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_howto.asp
CSS Colors: http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_colors.asp
Then write up what you learned and put it on your Google Web Page for the assignment.
Copy and paste the examples from the Try-IT (Big Green Button)
here is the link to the CSS Home's TryIT
http://www.w3schools.com/css/tryit.asp?filename=trycss_default
for every 4 W3School Tutorials with what you learned - you receive 2 extra credit points.
If you FTP the code (.html & .css files) up to your STWEB space you can receive another extra credit point.
