I heard people use it to make games and unwanted to learn it quickly so I could become a game developer,
The truth is even JavaScript can make games

Oh cool! How far have you gone with everything?

Think4Myself:
I actually think JavaScript is kind of straight forward
I've been learning js patch patch with w3schools and sololearn and I know why it's been smooth for me... The first language I started learning was java and it was so hard

You learned Java first! May I ask why?

Hey D!

So today, the ogas at the top ordered that we stay at home today. Although I'm glad about the free day, but I'm concerned about persons who'd have to go out to work before they can eat, I just hope the whole thing ends real soon.

Anyways, I learnt some new stuff this morning, they include:
1. How to import custom fonts.
2. The different font formats.
3. The different font properties such as size, display, stretch, variant, e.t.c.
4. The letter spacing, whitespace, and line-height properties.
5. Text decoration and shadow.
6. Font shorthand for adding multiple properties.

With these, I concluded the module on texts and font styling. Next is flexbox, I've heard a lot about this and I can't wait to start the module later today.

I'll see ya D!

Dear Diary,

I started a new module on styling texts and fonts, and it's been interesting. I've learnt the following:
1. Intro to generic families and font families.
2. Different ways to add a font family to a webpage.
3. The font family syntax.
4. How to use Google fonts.
5. How to work with font face and weight.

Later D!

Hey D!

Work has been hectic recently, but the good news is that my annual leave would be starting real soon and it'd be for one month. My target around that time would be 5hrs minimum daily for studying and practicing.

I still learned some new stuff though, they include:
1. The not pseudo class.
2. The checked pseudo class.
3. Validation feedback for forms.
4. The invalid pseudo selector.
5. How to style forms in general.

Tomorrow D!

It's another Monday D!

I actually started a challenge on frontend-mentors, to put my knowledge of html and css thus far to test. I actually finished it and I'd have loved to upload it on codepen, but it seems I'll need a pro account so I'd be able to upload pics on codepen.

The project requires knowledge of css flexbox, but I maneuvered my way using basic css. I'll be delving into CSS grids and flexbox before this week ends though.

So far so good D! I'll see ya later today.

Joesno:
wen I started learning JS, I got to a point when I av to dumb it, wit the feeling of I can't come and kill myself.. but I got back to it after 2 months and started all over wit enough focus and determination before I had it done

I can't come and kill myself oo. We'll be fine las las

EricBraven:
I don't mind having you as a study mate,when you are ready. Been sharpening my CSS skills and can work well to ensure responsiveness

Great! I'll send ya an email when I'm ready.

EricBraven:
I also ran away from this JavaScript but waiting for the best time to attack it either with a mentor or alone

I know that feeling, I literally had headaches at some point.

I'll be done with CSS real soon though, we could be JavaScript study mates if you don't mind.

Hey guys, I need your help.
What kind of questions did dragnet set for the screening stage?

Hey Diary!

So, I've been looking at webpage responsiveness, that is to make our webpage look good on different devices.

I learned some new stuff today:
1. How to add media queries.
2. How to get the breakpoints.
3. Importance of designing our page mobile-first.
4. How to manipulate the styles using min-width, min-height, and max-width.

See ya!

I'm back D..

I know I'm a lil bit early, I kinda ended tonight's learning section early as my head could no longer take in the new terms and explanations. I'll continue tomorrow abeg. This thing isn't easy oo, but I definitely know it'd be worth it in the end.

I started a new module btw and it's all about website responsiveness. I learned some new stuff and they include:
1. Difference between hardware pixels and software pixels.
2. Difference between HTML meta viewport and CSS media queries.

Lemme catch some sleep, see ya!

Hey D!

I started a new module today and it contains a brief intro to JavaScript and man! JavaScript isn't childsplay I must confess, but I'll be fine though.

I learned the following:
1. How to add a backdrop.
2. How to add a modal.
3. How to link a JavaScript file to the HTML file.
4. How to access any property, element or attribute in our html file and override its value using JavaScript.
5. How to add an event listener to our JavaScript file.

The whole JavaScript concept got me lost at some point, I've had to watch the videos several times, I guess I'll need to dwell on them for a while.

Later D.

DrOladipo:
Check signature

Done boss.. I got the guide, I'm all pumped up.

de3lar:
I'll like to link up with you boss.

Am a newbie Dev, I have residual knowledge of Solidity, React JS, NodeJS and JavaScript.

I'll wanna start from scratch again tho.

That'd be amazing boss

[quote author=All4good post=105277144][/quote]Great! Thanks boss

DrOladipo:
Have we all got the Concise Guide on the subject?

How do I get this?

All4good:
That is the essence of website responsiveness.
Your code has to display properly on most browsers not one.
Well done sir

Thanks boss. Meaning for a situation like this I'll have to make sure I write my code in a manner that's compatible with different browsers and in this case (background), I'll have to spell everything out individually right?

[quote author=DrOladipo post=105250010][/quote]Welcome back OP

Yay! It's Friday D!

I actually learned about some units applicable to CSS today, their peculiarities and why they should(n't) be used. They include:
1. px
2. %
3. em
4. rem
5. vh
6. vw
7. vmin
8. vmax

We're making progress D! Cheers to consistency.

It's another day D!

I finished another module today, and its contents include:
1. How to style images and image layout.
2. Gradient - Linear and radial.
3. How to stack multiple backgrounds.
4. Filters - greyscale, blur, e.t.c.
5. Adding and styling SVGs.

I encountered a browser compatibility issue today, I actually tried using shorthand for the background property with different attributes, it didn't work on Microsoft edge which I have been using since I started this journey, but it worked on Google chrome.

I ain't touching Microsoft Edge ever..

Later D!

Diaaaarrrryyyy!

I learned some new stuff today about background images:
1. Background size property - cover, contain..
2. Background position - center and others.
3. Background position - no-repeat.
4. Background clip - border-box.
5. Background origin - border-box.
6. Background attachment - scroll, fixed or local.

Later D!

Arise and shine D!

Today we're obeying the sit-at-home order here (although they said they've called it off.. nobody trust anybody like this, na who dey alive dey work ), meaning no work.

I learned some stuff this morning:
1. Similarities between the fixed and absolute position values.
2. The Relative value for the position property.
3. Use of the overflow property and it's value - hidden.
4. Stacking context as using the z-index in combination with position property.
5. The caniuse site to check the browser support for the different properties and values.

[quote author=KushLyon post=105087444][/quote]Nice.. don't be a coconut headed person oo

KushLyon:
Goodluck on your journey

Thanks Lyon. Indeed combining programming with something else that requires lots of attention isn't easy at all, but we'll be fine at long last.

Thanks for the frontend mentors suggestion, I checked them out already, the newbie project preview looks great. I'd definitely do that once I'm done with the CSS course. I've already downloaded some html and css projects from YouTube, I'm going to get my hands dirty real soon.

A quick question, was the bootstrap course a standalone course or it's part of another course you downloaded?

KushLyon:
Lol, I wonder why the guy wan carry 200k give person when free resources dey everywhere online

Lots of persons no know say free materials like these dey available online oo

Jack273:
Thank you

Anytime Sir.

My tech D!

I am here again.

I got to learn about:
1. How to add a background image to a webpage.
2. The position property whose default value is static, but can have other values like fixed, absolute, relative e.t.c.
3. The z-index property and it's importance.

Maximilian Schwarz is good meeeehhhnnn!

Jack273:
I'm facing the same problem. Download stops around 90%.

Please what's the site for downloading the rar files.

I know that feeling, here's the link to the rar files for the CSS course.

https://downloadly.net/2020/16/5874/03/udemy-css-the-complete-guide-incl-flexbox-grid-sass/23/?#/5874-udemy-102113082420.html

lordally:
set a target of 7 months for yourself download video on

HTML

CSS( A tutorial video by Maxmillian Schumuller on CSS )

JavaScript ( Download the complete JavaScript by Maxmillian Schumuller )

REACT ( Download the one by Maxmillian Schumuller or the one by Jonas Schemtman )

This is all you need guy!!!

@bolded, you're right! I'm not even halfway through the CSS course yet but my confidence level is high already. I believe this is the best path to follow for anyone who's open to self learning.

Hey D! I'm back.

So, I was able to download the complete files and that's exciting, especially after wasting lots of data prior.

I learned some new stuff last night:
1. How to make the edges of an image a perfect circle using the border-radius property, and adjusting both the width and height of the image.
2. How to use the float property - used basically for positioning image in texts.
3. Clear property (used this in line with the float property.
4. id selectors have a higher specificity than class and pseudo selectors.
5. The !important - this basically overrides specificity and using it isn't advisable.

I'll see ya later D!

Hey D!

Downloading the torrent files has proved to be a lil bit difficult, the files tend to stop downloading at 90+% and most of the videos end up not playing. I've wasted data oo.

I discovered that the torrent downloader automatically seeds the files around the 90+% stage which brings downloading to a halt.

I just found another site where I'd download the rar files for the course instead of torrent.. this should work.

Later D!
