The Code Buster is an instructional tool to help students analyze code.
A large part of Web Design is being able to “de-bug” errors in your code.
By using Code Busters on a regular basis, students will learn how to independently analyze and fix the problems in their code.
Code Busters will also help reinforce the students’ understanding of HTML
