Week 2: Getting started on the site & beginning to learn Javascript :computer:

Over the course of the first week, you created some exceptional wireframes, getting your initial idea out of your head and into something tangible! :clap: Kudos to you! This is a very exciting moment in your coding career where literally anything is possible, and you have a vision that is executable.

So let's dive into what you will be working on in the next week! :ship:

  1. Get your machine set up with a command line and git from Evan's toolbox
  2. Getting your wireframes into HTML! Now that you've learned some HTML and CSS, using what you just learned to mimic your wireframes is part of a developer's job in the industry. As you work on this, try to get it close to what your designs are, but by no means spend an exorbitant amount of time getting the CSS perfect. This will only be the beginning, and you will likely revisit or change much of the HTML / CSS before this 8 week program is finished.
  3. Learn Flexbox! This game will be a fantastic tool for getting your elements to position accordingly on your web page.
  4. Learning Javascript so you can write a bit and understand it if you read it. Check out this nifty guide to get your hands dirty!
  5. :100: Advanced/Optional: If you've completed all of these, then you can follow this guide to getting your HTML / CSS hosted online by Github!

Keep up the great work :fire: you're working in the right direction! Definitely reach out if you have any questions!

A sneak peek at next week's agenda :eyes: :

  1. Connecting Javascript with your HTML
  2. Hosting on Github for the first time!
  3. An intro to ReactJS (a better way to code!) :100:

Got the home page done. Not very satisfied but I'll come back and fix it later. In the mean time, I started learning JS and start seeing how it can play a key role in getting stuff done on the back and use HTML/CSS to display the things. Will play more with HTML/CSS and try to see if i can add JS into it in my free time
