In the library again. The library is empty, with it being Friday. Today’s project is making a registration form. I worked mainly on HTML and a bit in CSS just to clean up the page a little. As I go through my notes here, it doesn’t seem like I did a lot today, but my…
Color part II
I’m at the library today. It’s a little crowded here. Today’s study focused on color using hex, hsl, linear-gradient, border color, and box shadow. Here are some resources, tutorialspoint, and w3schools. The most common way to apply color is with hexadecimal or hex values. Hex color values begin with a pound sign or hashtag # character and…
The color wheel
Today’s studying was spent on RGB in CSS and the color wheel. The color wheel is a visual representation of colors arranged according to their chromatic relationship depending on wavelengths. Using the color wheel, we can easily trace colors and their relationship with other colors. The three Primary Colors are Red, Yellow, and Blue. Three…
CSS
I am working a lot with CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) today. I do like CSS for the ease of styling a webpage, faster page speed, and better user experience. But some things have been irking me about CSS as we go into different projects in FreeCodeCamp: 1) CSS isn’t used the same from project to…
Coding and therapy
I finished the book “You belong in Tech.” I feel like I have more insight into things and what to do. But things are easier said than done. Today in coding, I learned about classes in HTML. As Tommy said, “Classes allow manipulation by CSS and Javascript.” This makes much more sense than the description…
The New Year’s resolution
The end of the book, You Belong in Tech is quite intimidating. However, she gives excellent information about your application, cover letter, interviews, and such. I have about 30 more pages to read in this book. I may finish it after I’m done writing here. Sandy, my cat, has been sitting at my desk for…
Coding mistakes
I’m almost done with the book; You Belong in Tech. She has been talking about creating an application kit. She recommends reading this part of the book later in your journey, but I like finishing a book. We’ve been getting some snow the past couple of days. I think we are in the middle of…
Making a name for yourself on social media
I feel a bit lost today. I did read more of the ‘You Belong in Tech’ book. She is talking more about using social media to build a community and make a name for yourself. Here are some ways to do so: 1) Use Twitter to my advantage. Make posts, and retweet interesting tech posts….
Drained
I didn’t study much today, though I read more in “You Belong in Tech.” The author went over the dos and don’ts of social media and coding communities, events and conferences, and Discord for getting into talking about tech with other people. Alexis had her doctor’s appointment follow-up for her medication. Her medication is working…
Branding myself
As I’m continuing this book, “You Belong in Tech,” I’m up to the chapter about making a name for yourself and branding yourself. Getting out there and putting a name for myself goes against my introverted heart. All my social media accounts are private for a reason. The thing is, making a name for yourself…
