Building Views requires us to do two main jobs: declare an element and define its appearance. You learned how to declare View elements for your UI with HTML. This week, you’ll learn how to more effectively define the appearance and behavior of those View elements using CSS.

Now that you have some practice building Views, we’re going to work on your fundamentals. First, we’ll focus on analytical debugging. To debug is to code, and comfort with the debugging process may be the most crucial component to ‘really’ learning how to code. Bonus item: AI is great both at helping and explaining in this area. We’ll also be looking at responsive design, an approach that helps us make sure our UX works well not just on computers, but also on mobile devices, etc.

Let’s take it from the top! This week you’re going to go from idea to code for an idea of your own. This will help you more fully internalize the four steps you’ve learned and, we hope, have some fun along the way.
