I like the fact that we were given a second round to accustom ourselves to using git and GitHub to save our progress on our work. It’s a really simple but genius idea on how to backtrack if someone makes a mistake down the line. I’ve learned that saving to GitHub basically consists of 4 commands:
- git status
- git add .
- git commit -m “comment”
- git push
And that’s basically it! One giant fancy “save” to your Git repository on GitHub.
Then, on Thursday, we looked over and studied “Parallax” and true Parallax. Basically, Parallax means objects closer to you feel they are moving faster than objects in the back while you are moving. It’s similar to looking at buildings in a cityscape drift by as you are viewing out the passenger-side window of a moving car.
There is a sort of false “Parallax” which consists of setting an image as a background to a div and allowing it to scroll. This can make for a very interesting and eye-catching effect, but it should be used purposefully, as it can distract away from the main content of the page.
