Web Dev Boot Camp Week 7

        Welcome to my Full Stack development boot camp week 7! This blog update may be a little short since the topics for this week that were covered before venturing into Java Script; was to learn how to debug our own code and working with not only HTML but also CSS files. Dr. Angela Yu goes into depth explaining how to copy our own full pathways and pull up our sites but references how the compiler works when uploading the code and reading both files at the same time. Doing so, there are rules of hierarchy that come into play when the code uploads so that means I was challenged to look at my own code and see if I can inspect it, then spot the logical errors as my browser was loading up the site. 

    From what I experienced during this practice challenge is that I would run into errors with how the code oversets default settings to the one's I had already put into place, but it was interesting to see that it wasn't the case here. It had to do with syntax as to how my HTML files syntax was globally referencing files inside my ATOM IDE. Basically, meaning that compiler won't reference properly if your files aren't placed in the correct locations in the correct sequence and using certain tags to reach them. So even though HTML is pretty MLA format-like, and can be written pretty loosely, there is still order to the chaos that CSS demands from the HTML scripts, making CSS a PAIN to keep reviewing and debugging. Dr. Angela Yu spent a whopping 45 minutes discussing going back and forth between HTML and CSS and their respective rules and describing in the simplest way she can on how they talk to each other so we can understand how to debug the errors that popped up. I feel like CSS is a high maintenance language after the challenges for sure. 

    I like this structure of teaching more than class lately because of how "hands on" the Udemy boot camp experience has been. There's always pauses waiting for me to practice or mess around after being given references, Q&A's at the bottom of each video, thorough explanations, and challenges at the middle of each new topic and end. 

    As far as what I'm reporting for how this compares to school and learning from a professor, I would strongly stand by this statement. Number one, it depends on the teacher and teaching style, however this method of teaching is phenomenal, and I would highly recommend anyone looking to pick up some electronic skill or review information to purchase a Udemy course, and if possible, one instructed by Dr. Angela Yu herself.

Web Dev Boot Camp Week 9

 Hello and welcome everyone! This is going to be my 9th week experience about CSS and working with divs!           In this snippet I am showing my IDE code snippet and in line <10> you can see where it labels "<div...>". In this body of code going through line 17 and 19-22, I have the "src=..." syntax to direct where our div key words are going to locate the images for our body reserved for special photos or sections on a web page.      Everything in HTML for websites is actually composed of a plethora of different color boxes with different outlines and can take up the entire width of our "blank space"; meaning if I want to include like a picture of a cloud into my page and maybe place it on top of text in a certain location or to the left of a headline, then I need to manipulate the blank space and edit the settings of the default components.   As you can see from the first div snippet I've shown above; there is a simp...

Web Dev Boot Camp week 2

Week 2          Reporting back on my week 2 progress with The Complete 2022 Web Dev Bootcamp experience, I would say it fell nothing short of a grand sucess! Within my first couple of hours from being walked through step by step and explanation of how to stay engaged in the course by Dr. Angela Yu, I was able to learn about the creativity allowed within HTML as the first intro language.     HTML is referenced as a building structure language in the first few modules of the camp; essentially meaning it's the organizer and structure factor into building websites or organizing the layout. Getting further into the module's videos, Angela explains that more adjustments are allowed in the languages to come like JavaScript and CSS which I will learn later in the semester. These allow changing colors, fonts, hyperlinks, functionality, and operation within our websites to make them more appealing for user's access.         ...

Web Dev Boot Camp Week 8

         Hello and Welcome to my Full-Stack Web Dev Boot Camp Week 8! This week I made some really interesting progress on downloading extensions for chrome to see how compiling is done through natural HTML Hierarchy. Last week was just a fill in on how much effort is done when looking at debugging with CSS. After spending a few hours on going through each pathway in every single one of my HTML files so they follow the same href syntax and that all my style sheets were being applied; it turned out that I had to go through every single fille I have created thus fur and override the default "background" syntax that HTML automatically places into the files, but they're placed discretely. Now for starters I have made pretty much asthetic adjustments and will be making some major additions next week as we step into intermediate CSS programming. I will be learning how to implement classes, selectors, and Identifiers!           As you...
