Weeks 11 & 12: Sass, Parallax, and Bootstrap

We are almost at the finish line and I feel like I’ll definitely enjoy having a break! We have been covering so much in this class, and in the last two weeks we learned about a few more different techniques.

Last Month, Still Lots to Learn

We are coming towards the end of the semester with this last month. Within these past two weeks, it felt slow in work, however we learned quite a bit of new techniques. We have been focused on positioning with flexbox that we are at the hurdle where these other CSS properties are starting to come in and to learn.

Sass, Parallax and Bootstrap! Oh and finals!

Hello everyone! Well we are almost finished with this semester and I am pretty whooped. I’m definitely ready for a break, from this class and from 2020 in general, its been rough!

Parallax Design features and be beginning of our Final

This week was really full. I appreciated learning about Parallax in tandem with our final project. I will be using Parallax on my final for sure. It’s exciting and nerve wracking to start thinking about our final!

personal growth

During the last two weeks, I realized that I reach the point that has some preference in my coding style. It is really amazing for me.

So.Much.Code

These last 2 weeks have been filled with so much code! Between learning SASS, Parallax and Bootstrap, it is a lot to wrap your head around! *Whew*

Weeks 11 & 12

The last 2 weeks I learned about a couple of new processes that are popular among web developers.

SASS

This last week we learned about preprocessors (SASS). Honestly, I think I’m still on the fence about whether or not I like it. I can see why it would be useful in certain situations, but I don’t know.

SCSS/Parallax/Bootstrap

These couple of weeks we have spent learning about SASS/SCSS, Parallax technique, and a little bit on Bootstrap. All three are very interesting and useful, probably Bootstrap is less useful among them, but still quite cool to learn about.

Week 10 Responsive design

In this past week we have been diving into responsive design by using media query’s.

Week 10!

This week has been a challenge for all of us. It also showed me my strengths and weakness a bit more.

More Responsive mobile first design!

Well this week has been fun! I actually enjoyed the challenge of changing the design features based on screen width.

Week 9 & 10 – Responsive Web Design

We have been practicing responsive web design with the Sacramento Writer’s Group and the Zen Music Festival challenges. As expected, they were quite challenging!

To respond or not respond

Okay, so that’t not really a question. Clearly, in these times of digital life we need to have responsive design.

Getting Through The Challenges

These past two weeks have just been like the title says, challenging. We practiced by going through the challenges by using a mobile first approach. The main approach and learning process for this part of the semester was mainly getting through the challenges.

Week 10

These last two weeks I’ve learned a lot about designing for mobile as well as other screen sizes as well.

Responsive Design

Response design is getting more important every day. Users expected more efficient, faster with clear information and navigation.websites that have consistently on all of their devices. I found the first mobile approach more efficient and so much easier to do.

Applying Responsive Design

This is such a full week! Finishing responsive design for the Sac Writers group and the Zen Music was quite a challenge and we aren’t even done with the actual design yet! It takes such great amount of patience and re-editing, googling and re-editing.

The Challenge…

I can’t believe we are already finishing up week 10. We’re almost finished with the semester. Honestly, it feels like we just started. It’s definitely been an adjustment going from an in-class learning environment to a completely online classroom.
