According to an answer on Quora by FCC's founder, of the 142,513 campers (students) going through Free Code Camp, 208 have earned the Front End Dev Certificate, while 22 have earned the Full Stack Dev Certificate. That's a tiny percentage, about .14 for the front end cert and about a tenth of that for the full stack cert. Here's a screenshot:
Knowing this gives me quite a jolt of motivation. Completing FCC puts you squarely in a very small, elite group of campers. That's good stuff.
So, HTML5 is introducing form validation via the browser. That's new. At the time of the book's writing, only Chrome and Opera supported HTML5 validation. I'm on page 179 of the book now, it goes over forms in general, and HTML5 improvements to them in specific.
This is the DOCTYPE declaration that is used for HTML5 documents:
<!DOCTYPE html>
After that would go the <html> opening tag, then the <head> and <body> opening and closing tags, with the tags containing the content of each within, and at the end of the document, the closing </html> tag. Comments in HTML 5 are placed inside the document like so: <!-- comment goes here -->. I should be using comments much more than I currently am, as creating code in a work environment often involves collaboration, and it's not always easy for another person to understand someone else's code.
HTML id attributes can begin with any letter or an underscore, but must have a unique name. Attributes should use lower case letters. If we want to give an element multiple classes, we can separate the classes with a space (but put all the classes in the same set of quotes).
