This module mainly focused on HTML and CSS and had a duration of 6 hours. It explained how HTML is used for web pages and using CSS to style web pages. It also introduced CSS Flexbox to organize content based on the display screen size and how to create my first static website.
The important HTML tags mentioned were:

#<head> — Contains elements to specify metadata of the HTML document.
#<title> — Content inside the tag is displayed on browser’s title bar.
#<body> — Content to be displayed on the web page goes inside this element.
#<a> — It defines a hyperlink, which is used to link from one page to another.
#<img> — The tag is used to embed an image in an HTML page.

Module: QProfile
This 10 hours module focused on Full Stack, HTML, CSS, JS, React, API, Curl, Dev Tools, Netlify and Heroku.
I had created and deployed the frontend component earlier. With the Backend component created and deployed, I now have the two main pieces of the Full Stack application in place.
The Profile page can now be shared with others. The visitors can leave their contact information along with a message when they visit my page.
I can keep this profile page updated with any additional information I want to add. This is one full stack application that I have completed. It has given me an overview of what goes into creating it. I am looking forward to learn more about each of the components in detail to start building more exciting and useful applications!
Finally, I would like to conclude by saying it was an awesome learning experience along with hands-on experience at the same time. I would like to thank Rathinamurthy R, Co-Founder and Sridher Jeyachandran — Co-Founder, Crio.Do for organizing such a programme with lots of benefits that it offers. I would also like to thank the entire Crio team for their endless effort that they have put into this externship programme and making the Stage 1 a success.
Thanks to Crio.Do and all its community partners for providing a platform like this. I hope to leverage it to the fullest extent possible and really improve my practical exposure and skills in the further Stages coming up.
