The plan for our class:

1. Please read and follow these reminders:
    
   1. Always start every class by reviewing our daily notes
   2. As I am taking attendance:
      1. For students who are physically at ASW: Please check now: am I connected to the American School of Warsaw wireless network
      2. Please check now: is visual studio code working from my programming folder?
   3. This short video will help you remember how to use moodle
       
2. We will quickly review:
   1.  IDE (integrated development environment)
      1. IDE's have line numbers to help you organize your code and discuss code with friends
      2. Syntax highlighting is a way of coloring different reserved words so they are easier to read
      3. Syntax highlighting also helps you identify errors
      4. Autocomplete will help you by filling in functions, variables, and other identified names, so you don't have to type the whole thing (and avoid misspelling)
   2. HTML
      1. HTML element
         1. opening tag
         2. closing tag
         3. content
         4. attributes
      2. block vs in-line tags
      3. anchor tags
      4. image tags
          
3. We will carefully review:
   1. Forms and input types
      1. We quickly remember input-process-output
      2. You will understand the structure of an HTML form
      3. You will understand the required attributes of an HTML form
      4. You will understand what happens after a form has been submitted
      5. You will understand how forms pass data from one HTML page to another page.
      6. You will understand input types
         1. The HTML  element is used to create interactive controls for web-based forms in order to accept data from the user; a wide variety of types of input data and control widgets are available, depending on the device and user agent. The  element is one of the most powerful and complex in all of HTML due to the sheer number of combinations of input types and attributes (source). 
      7. You will learn and practice with text, password, textarea
          
   2. We will use one file to help us understand input types:
      1. Please click here for a file helping us understand input types
          
   3. You will construct a form to register for a club. You must use your imagination to come up with a fun club idea! 
       
      1. Your from must have:
          
         1. text input type
         2. textarea input type
         3. date input type
         4. datalist input type
         5. select input type
         6. email input type
         7. a submit button
             
   4. You must submit the link to your assignment here.
       
4. We will review our work
    
5. Homework is always posted on google classroom (and only google classroom)
