AI Learning Tasks

Use AI to generate a complete HTML web page from scratch — no prior coding needed. Prompt the AI, review the output, and personalize it.

• 1
  Ask: "Create an HTML page for a personal portfolio with a header, about section, and contact form."
• 2
  Save as index.html and open in a browser.

Take any plain HTML page and ask AI to write beautiful CSS to style it — fonts, colors, spacing, and hover effects included.

• 1
  Paste your HTML from Task 1 and ask: "Write modern CSS to make this look professional."
• 2
  Ask for a dark mode version of the same styles.
• 3
  Add a CSS animation to the header using the AI's help.

Responsive design means your site looks great on phones, tablets, and desktops. Let AI add the media queries and flexbox rules to achieve this.

• 1

• 2
  Add it before </body> in your page from Task 1.
