What I learned

Learned how to set different images for different screen type with HTML and manipulate how the card looks like differently on desktop and mobile with CSS

srcset defines the set of images we will allow the browser to choose between, and what size each image is. Each set of image information is separated from the previous one by a comma.

HTML

<img
  srcset="images/image-product-desktop.jpg 600w,
  images/image-product-mobile.jpg  686w"
  sizes="(max-width: 600px) 686px, 300px"
  src="images/image-product-desktop.jpg"
  alt="A bottle of perfume surrounded by foliage"
/> 

CSS

@media only screen and (max-width: 600px) {}

Continued development
