CS50 Lesson 8 (HTML, CSS, JavaScript)

This is the lesson I could've slept in on if I were actually enrolled at Harvard :). Yet this is the one I've been most excited about. How is there a lesson on HTML, CSS, and JavaScript amidst lessons about 'data structures' and 'memory'?

Part of me was really curious how - if you only have 2.5 hours to talk about HTML, CSS, and JavaScript - one would choose which parts of that to touch on. The instructor just sort of zoomed through things - I mean, how else do you do it? And not only that, the first hour was about 'TCP/IP' and 'http' and routers.... not even about HTML, CSS, or JavaScript.

I suppose it scratched the surface on some representative features, which made me realize that every class up to this one has also like just been a hint and what those languages and topics are really about.

Basically - it's an intro. And all the other lessons I have to assume were just glimpses at the tip of the iceberg. So much to get to play with!

But the cool thing is that I learned something new. The 'autofocus' attribute - I forgot all about that - very cool.
