Web Dev Boot Camp Week 6
Welcome to the 6th week of the experience with a full stack developer boot camp!
Above shows what I have worked on quite a bit this week learning about what's called "internal CSS" code!
Now that I've learned how to create the framework essentially of the site, it was time to learn how to start adjusting the aesthetics of the site and work a little bit with the styling kits that are built into CSS code already. I decided to change my profile picture to be a little more casual as an adjustment and made it circular to be slightly more appealing to eye since I didn't like the last block cowboy hat photo. For the theme, I decided to go with some phoenix suns colors and plan on making it look a little bit more appealing later on when I figure out how to get the different layers and textures organized.
Here we still see the adjustments to my header borders, heading titles color, and text color as well! The next lessons are quite long and take up to a couple hours of explaining but mostly for resource searching practice. You have to remember that these classes taught by Angela Yu are pre-recorded and you're not allowed to ask any questions at any time. This makes me appreciate the effort she takes throughout the course as I know resources like CSS: Cascading Style Sheets | MDN (mozilla.org) or DevDocs API Documentation and google can be pretty nifty when trying to figure out things on our own on the fly usually as she drops in pretty testing challenges in between videos.
In the above snippet we see some of my coding layout in my Atom IDE; here it is shown my new syntax inside my <head></head> portion of the code. We may notice the "<style> hr{......" part with the border format orders in CSS code. Angela Yu explains that atom is capable of handling CSS internal code within the same IDE that uses HTML in between each command before whatever is written out. This way we can control the text font we want to use, or the border height and width, or even how the page scales the size of the piece you want to change depending on the device an individual is using. Possibly on your site from a phone, laptop, or wide screen monitor. I love the design and am excited to see other sites for more inspiration and can't wait to publicly update my old site from github. Till next week, Farewell!
The enthusiasm exuding through your blog is palpable. I'm so glad you've created something you can be proud of. Now time for refinement. Enjoy the process!
