Code Log 6: Code References

Focused HTML Tag

I'm going to be looking up the <a> tag, or the link tag.

Sites Consulted

Differences Between The Sites

Geeks for Geeks and W3 Schools were very similar to each other, they both were simple and to the point. They showed syntax, a brief description, attributes, and syntax usage. MDN is much more in depth and all of the above have multiple paragraphs, which is fitting as a developer resouce. Mimo presents all the information in a more educational way, as if it were meant for a first time learner.

What Features Should a Code Reference Page Offer?

It should offer at bare minimum a description and an example. I would prefer it to be short, like W3 and Geeks for Geeks, so that it is meant to be repetitively visited. I think including more makes it harder to have revisitability.

Do Any Of The Sites Mentioned Stand Out?

I wouldn't say it's objectively bad, but I don't really like the MDN. I get that its trying to be as descriptive as possible but I think it makes it harder to revisit if you want to quickly find information.
