Overview
Hi there, my name is Daniel Scott and together we’re going to learn how to build professional responsive websites. which look good on mobiles, tablets and desktop screens.
We will build 4 sites together...
- a simple but elegant restaurant website.
- a bike repair website.
- a responsive portfolio website.
- a Bootstrap website.
We cover everything you need to build your first website. From creating your first page through to uploading your website to the internet. We’ll use the world’s most popular (and free) web design tool called Visual Studio Code.
There are exercise files you can download and then work along with me. At the end of each video I have a downloadable version of where we are in the process so that you can compare your project with mine. This will enable you to see easily where you might have a problem.
We will delve into all the good stuff such as how to create your very own mobile burger menu from scratch learning some basic JavaScript and jQuery.
You will...
- Learn how to work with responsive images and icons. and stunning full screen background images and probably one too many gradients.
- Learn how to create forms and to choose great fonts for your website.
- Learn how to work with Bootstrap 4 to easily add carousels, cards and complex looking menus.
- Setup a domain name with hosting so that your website is live on the internet for others to see.
There are fun class projects for you to work on which will enable you to practice what you learn. By the end of this course you’ll have a great understanding of important web design topics like HTML5, CSS3, Flex box, Responsive design and Bootstrap.
If that all sounds a little too fancy - don’t worry, this course is aimed at people new to web design and who have never coded before. We’ll start right at the beginning and work our way through step by step.

Founder of Bring Your Own Laptop & Chief Instructor
instructorI discovered the world of design as an art student when I stumbled upon a lab full of green & blue iMac G3’s. My initial curiosity around using the computer to create ‘art’ developed into a full-blown passion, eventually leading me to become a digital designer and founder of Bring Your Own Laptop.
Sharing and teaching are a huge part of who I am. As a certified Adobe instructor, I've had the honor of winning multiple Adobe teaching awards at their annual MAX conference. I see Bring Your Own Laptop as the supportive community I wished for when I was first starting out and intimidated by design. Through teaching, I hope to bring others along for the ride and empower my students to bring their stories, labors of love, and art into the world.
True to my Kiwi roots, I've lived in many places, and currently, I reside in Ireland with my wife and kids.

Downloads & Exercise files
Transcript
All right, let's talk about what you need to download, and what you need to install. So downloading is simple, there are some exercise files. There'll be a link on the page here somewhere to download those. And they will be everything that we'll use, like images and text that we'll use throughout the course. So download those.
Inside that exact same file that you download, there'll be something in there called the Completed Files. There'll be a folder inside of it. And what they are is, at the end of every video what I do is I kind of save where I'm up to. So that if you're following along and you're not getting the same results, you can just look at the video number and then have a look at the completed files, and just match my version with your version, and go, "Hmm."
Often it's just maybe a spelling or syntax error, but you can compare yours, that's working, or mine that's working, maybe yours that maybe not. So they're inside Exercise Files and Completed Files, all together.
Other thing to talk about is what to download. So we will be testing our websites in Google Chrome. So make sure you download that. Google Chrome is by far the most popular browser at the moment. So download that and we'll do all of our testing inside of that. It's like Firefox or Safari, Microsoft Edge, or Internet Explorer, but it's the most popular one. Go to Google Chrome's website and they'll show you how to install it.
The other thing to install is a Code Editor. So we're going to be using Visual Studio Code. Now, why? There's a lots of different code editors, so you don't need specifically this one, but you'll need it for this particular course. Basically a website is a group, a mixture of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, right? You can use any code editor to make that. We're going to be using Visual Studio Code, not Visual Studio, that's a bigger product, you need the specific Visual Studio Code, it's free. It's made by Microsoft. And just so you know though, it's-- I'm using that mainly because it's the most popular at the moment.
So if you're looking to get work after this course, you're probably going to end up in a studio where they are using Visual Studio Code. You might as well be learning the same one, but the techniques and tools you're going to learn in this course are going to apply the same to, if you're using a different code editor. Let's say you're using Atom, Sublime, Notepad++, they're all really good editors but they end up making the same thing. The shortcuts are different, they've got different ways of working but the output is the same. So don't sweat it if you learn all this stuff in Visual Studio Code, and then you have to go and use another editor. It will all apply lovely, but yeah, install Chrome, install Visual Studio Code, both of them are free. And I will see you in the next video.
