Summary

This lesson discusses how to create a monthly calendar display with CSS Grid and JavaScript. JavaScript counts the number of days in a month, determines the first day, and then creates cells for each date. The seven-column grid facilitates the alignment of the names of days and dates, while moon navigation updates the view.

Key points

Use Date to calculate the first day and the number of days in the month
Make a grid of seven columns for the name of the day and date
Fill the empty cells before the first date so that the day's position is correct
Mark the date today and provide an accessible label on the navigation button
