Hello and welcome to this weeks dev Diary, the short version!

Today will be a tad longer short version, as I have done mainly HTML and CSS practices, which require a little bit more of explanation.

• Finalized HTML page by using plenty of Tables.

This was a try-out on using a ready made template for HTML e-mails, with plenty of tables to help stylize the page. It was easy and felt it had a simple logic to it, which might be why beginners might want to use tables more often than CSS in styling. The page could be optimized more thoroughly though and does not represent the best practices of how HTML is recommended to be written.

For reference, here is the same page I showed last week, with it's slight improvements compared to the original state.

• Started making another page by using more semantic elements.

I started constructing another page for a different game's collector's edition, namely for the Grand Theft Auto 5 CE. This time I didn't use any template for the project and tried to follow some of the claimed best practices, namely using semantic elements and using more CSS to minimize the size of the document.

there is not much difference in the size of the documents (somewhere around ~200 bytes), but it is much more pleasant to edit the code when it doesn't have as many indents as when you use elements heavily as padding tools, as is the case with the Table rich example.

Here is the unfinished GTA V page for reference. I still plan to diversify the indents used to make the code even easier to navigate.

• Lots of reading on HTML tutorials, such as w3schools.com.

This one is self evident ? I would warmly recommend this site for anyone, a beginner or pro alike, for either learning or updating their knowledge on html and CSS.

Thank you for your time and I'll see you on the next one!
