Assignment

This programming assignment has two parts.

Part A

Task

You will design a simple card using only HTML/CSS. The card will look like this example except with your own details. You will be using Codepen for this part. You will have to create a free account on Codepen and then create a new pen. Write all separate parts in the right sections.

Requirements

  1. The webpage should mirror the layout shown in the example.
  2. Elements: You should use at least one of all the following: image, link, paragraph, heading.
  3. Layout: The image, heading, and link must all be horizontally centered. The biography text can be either left-aligned or horizontally centered.
  4. Styling: All styling must lie within the CSS section
  5. The image should have a height and width of 150px.

Optional

If you'd like to get some hands-on experience with Javascript before the next MP, you may attempt to recreate this example. Although this will not be graded, understanding this early-on will make your life significantly easier for the next MP! :)

Part B

Task

You will be setting up your development environment as detailed in Part 4 of this documentation, and making a few small changes to the page's styling. Please begin by reading the helpful comments left in source/index.js.

Requirements

  1. Get MP0 starter to run
  2. Change SASS inside the source/styles folder so that Hello World! is centered
  3. Add SASS rules to change the background color of the page
