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. |

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! |

MirthOsas:I also ran away from this JavaScript but waiting for the best time to attack it either with a mentor or alone |
Re: Diary Of An Aspiring Software/web Developer by MirthOsas(m): 8:15pm On Sep 04, 2021 |
EricBraven: 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. |
Re: Diary Of An Aspiring Software/web Developer by EricBraven: 9:35pm On Sep 04, 2021 |
MirthOsas: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 |
Re: Diary Of An Aspiring Software/web Developer by MirthOsas(m): 10:15pm On Sep 04, 2021 |

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. |
Re: Diary Of An Aspiring Software/web Developer by EricBraven: 12:41pm On Sep 06, 2021 |
Joesno:Seems you have been able to break through it,how did you do it and what measures did you take |

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! |

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! 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! |

MirthOsas: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 |
Re: Diary Of An Aspiring Software/web Developer by MirthOsas(m): 9:52pm On Sep 09, 2021 |
Think4Myself: You learned Java first! May I ask why? |
Re: Diary Of An Aspiring Software/web Developer by Nobody: 6:47am On Sep 10, 2021 |
MirthOsas: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 |
Re: Diary Of An Aspiring Software/web Developer by MirthOsas(m): 6:59pm On Sep 10, 2021 |
Think4Myself: Oh cool! How far have you gone with everything? |
Re: Diary Of An Aspiring Software/web Developer by Nobody: 8:22pm On Sep 10, 2021 |
MirthOsas:I just learnt the basics of JavaScript and how it works Now I just try programming challenges and Google the syntaxs if I'm stuck somewhere, that's how I've been learning |
Re: Diary Of An Aspiring Software/web Developer by MirthOsas(m): 8:38pm On Sep 10, 2021 |
Think4Myself:Cool, I'll catch up soon. |
Re: Diary Of An Aspiring Software/web Developer by MirthOsas(m): 11:46pm On Sep 12, 2021 |
Dearest Diary, I'm sorry I left ya hanging, this consistency thingy isn't easy I must say, but I won't give up. I started learning about flexbox today and it actually makes our code a lot leaner, especially with the plenty unnecessary vertical-align and inline-block. I got to know about the following: 1. The display:flex property. 2. The flex container and flex items. 3. The flex-direction property and it's attributes. 4. The flex-wrap property and it's attributes. 5. The main axis and the cross axis. 6. The align-items, justify-contents and align-content properties. Flexbox really makes one do some stuff faster, resulting in a leaner code. It's all coming together D! I'll see ya tomorrow. 1 Like |

I am here again, I am here again, oh my D! I am here again, to update my dear diary. I just finished the module on flexbox, I know I wasted some time, but let me celebrate my small win biko. Today, I got to learn about: 1. The order property for flex items. 2. The align-self property. 3. The flex-grow, flex-shrink and flex-basis properties. 4. The flex shorthand for flex-items. I'll be starting a module on CSS grid tomorrow. Lemme catch some sleep, see ya! |

Ohh Thought am the only one that javascript is giving too much stress and feel dumb sometimes, this is my second month battling with it, wish I can move to other languages, but I can't due to all round usability, Seems am heading towards some light this week, with the new approach am using by breaking down the whole syllabus into different part and taking it one after the other. MirthOsas: |
Re: Diary Of An Aspiring Software/web Developer by MirthOsas(m): 11:40pm On Sep 14, 2021 |
Thunday1005:You aren't alone ooh I really haven't started the course on JavaScript though, I just did a module that contained an intro to JavaScript in the CSS course I'm using. It wasn't easy initially, but I finally got a hang of it. Going through the course in parts is the way to go. What course are you using? |
Re: Diary Of An Aspiring Software/web Developer by MirthOsas(m): 11:52pm On Sep 14, 2021 |
Hey Diary, I started the module on CSS grid this evening. So far I got to know about the following: 1. The display:grid declaration. 2. The unit called fraction with symbol fr. 3. How to add rows and columns to our grid through the use of the grid-template-columns and grid-template-rows properties. 4. Positioning the child elements within the grid using the grid-column-start(end) and grid-row-start(end) properties. 5. Use of the repeat function to create equally sized columns or rows. 6. The minmax function used to set the minimum and maximum height values for child elements in our grid. The grid thingy isn't complicated like I thought it would. See ya D! |
