deab – Learning Journal

Sass, Parallax & Bootstrap oh my!

There has been lots of opportunity to learn in the last couple weeks.

Week 10=22 Weeks Until Degree Completion

Ok, sometimes I need to focus on the longterm goal to get the short term items done.

I Almost Didn’t Figma it Out!

I found it odd when Professor Bill told me he didn’t know what was going on with my 2nd draft.

Stretching to Flex

Flexbox. Just the word brings so much freedom in simple web designs. It allows for placements that I just couldn’t reach without having it in my toolbox.

Patience…

When you know enough to wish you could do more but you don’t know how to get it done. I’d say that has been my week with the portal page.

That is a frustrating feeling in anything we are learning. I need a flexbox, but I can’t remember how to create one so I watch YouTube videos and read articles. It’s the never ending learning cycle that sometimes I am patient with myself and sometimes I’m frustrated thinking I should know how to do this.

I also want to create a responsive design, wait, not true…I just want it to be a responsive site…you know, automatically. Shouldn’t dreamweaver know that we need a responsive site? But no, I need to go search that up too.

On a good note, the minute I wanted my <ol> aligned side by side, I knew I needed flexbox and the minute I wanted my site to work on mobile I knew I needed it to be responsive. So that’s the start I am at.

From Learning to Experimentation

I can best describe coding as a love/hate relationship for me. I love the details. I hate the details. I resist it because I become laser focused and I can’t step away. But I get to say that it’s such a great feeling to be in this class this semester.
