You all know me as your
auxiliar, but did you know that I have another job as well? I am a web developer. Do you know what
this means? That’s right, I’m a computer programmer who builds websites for people and companies. Let me tell you a
little bit more about my job.
You may be wondering how I became a web developer. Just like humans, computers
speak their own languages known as programming
languages. We call writing in
these languages coding. In
order to build websites, I had to learn to speak the internet’s languages. There are three main languages for building the internet: html, css, and
javascript. Html is a websites text. It is very easy to learn and almost like
typing a word doc. Css is the website’s style. Css is how we give websites colour and make them pretty.
Javascript is the website’s
language. This is how we tell the computer what actions to take. Let’s use a real world example. Let’s say
we want to log into Gmail.
How do I build a log in form? First, I use html to code the box to type the email address and the log in
button. Then, I use css to make the button a beautiful red color. Finally,
I use javascript to tell the website to sign me in when I click the button.
I hope this explains a little bit more about what web developers do. Would you want
to learn more about web
development and computer programming in the future?
