I am a very new to coding and after a month of exposure on html and css. I was starting to kinda get more familiarized with the codes.
I am currently creating some projects including the projects on the responsive web design certifications and most of the time I am inspecting other website and looking for the structure.
I am changing my project into different topics and contents of the website including the images that I am putting into but the structure and style mostly comes from inspecting the code of other website.
Is this a good habit to learn and get better or is it better to figure out on my own what does the structure and style looks like without inspecting other websites?
Pushing yourself to understand the code of websites is just like reading an article or watching a show in a language you’re trying to learn. If it helps you, keep doing it! There is no cookie-cutter way to getting good at anything, really. It’s all individual preference - we don’t all learn the same. .
And you should never feel ashamed of having to google something or copying code. Experienced programmers do it. No-one knows everything about any language. Understanding what that code does so you can apply what it’s taught you in the future is all that’s important
I find that since I began learning to code, I tend to inspect other websites I visit. It is exciting to see the coding I have learned in some of the websites, and to see what I hope someday to know.
