Local Coworking

Learning about The Studio coworking space was very engaging. If I ever get back into studio client work I would definitely consider joining a coworking space like The Studio. Their prices are competitive with other coworking spaces like the Hacker Lab but I like this setting much better.

When we came back on Thursday, we followed along to learn the ‘right’ way to do it. My attempt differed somewhat in that I used section tags instead of article tags to divide content on the lower half of the page. We also extended material learned last week. After attempting to build the site from the ground up, we were tasked with then adding media queries to make it responsive for mobile, and responsive to other screen sizes.
