Learning Journal

1st writing in Learning Journal

Hello everyone! I am excited for this class. It seems like this may be a pretty intense course. I am hopeful with all the peer support and communication, especially our working partners, I am able to learn a lot and stay on top of assignments. Especially now that my wedding is over and I can focus more on the course.

First 2 weeks, Fall 2020

These last few weeks have been full of new information. I have learned the basic layout for HTML and have gained a rudimentary understanding of how html and css interact. I am surprised and pleased with the little bits I have learned so far because I was a little overwhelmed when I first started this class.

What I did over Summer to prepare for this AAD86 class

A curious email dropped into my inbox “How I learned to code in six months,” by Meaghan Jones. I read it and then joined a program called One Month. One Month HTML is a four-week course that intends to show how to build your first website, learning HTML, CSS, FTP, SEO, Responsive Web Design, Blogs and other things. This isn’t a pitch for them. They dropped me into a course on Ruby. Really?! I am a fledgling, but I thought, let’s try it.

MDN/Notion

I obsessed with MDN.I was looking for a specific tag the other night and I got stuck wondering around for few hours again .

Welcome to my first post of 2020!

Hello Class! I’m super excited to dive deeper into HTML and CSS with you all and I hope to get a better handle on web design. As much as it always intimidates me, I feel super rewarded when I get things rights and learn things that to me seem difficult to learn…

The MDN is cool

Mozilla Developer Network or MDN is a development documentation website for web standards. In these couple of weeks, I learned how to use the MDN to check whether I use my HTML correctly.

More HTML Learning!

I’m so excited to be jumping back into HTML this semester! I can already tell that this class is full of helpful and smart students who are ready and willing to support each other.

My first Learning Journal Entry!

As this semester opens I’m excited to dive deeper into the world of HTML. I am already impressed with the participation and the frequent feedback that is happening in this class.

Deeper Understanding of HTML

This week Iv’e come to a deeper understanding of which HTML tags to use and where to use them appropriately.

Tardy End Post

Yes, I am a fan of these learning journals, and yes, I contradict myself because I often find myself forgetting to do them… However, I’ll go over the last few weeks of class!

I’ve loved all these classes. I’ve done all 4, starting with Natalie and ending with Bill. It’s been fantastic, challenging, and fun. It’s been hard and really, you put some blood, sweat, and a few tears, into figuring everything out. Once you do though, it’s so rewarding.

The Day is Right Around the Corner

Its the time everyone rushes for. The day everyone excitedly waits for and dreads its arrival at the same time. Its that time of year that makes you look back and think about and reminisce with friends and family of all times. Some people even throw parties in celebration when the day come. The time of year everyone awaits for with rejoice and stress, Finals week.

Week 13

These past weeks, I’ve been working on designing my new portfolio site. I’ve researched others sites, but I’m thinking on redesigning again. I guess it’s great practice while I’m learning how to use XD. I’m using XD to create the proto for my portfolio site. I find the videos awesome and very easy to follow. I’m still fumbling around a bit, but I think it’s still super easy. I love learning these new programs 🙂 Yay! I can’t wait to see everyones site. Happy Turkey Day!

We are almost done!

I am excited that we are gonna be able to look back and see how much we have learned, but I am also kind of sad…

almost there

this week i have learned that sometimes no matter how hard you try to finish something perfect there comes a moment to just turn in what you got because you have wasted enough time.

Nearing the End

We have entered the realm of building our own custom themes using PHP, CSS, and HTML – Oh My! The prospect of building a custom theme feels overwhelming, but I am trying not to let it get the better of me.

Multiple loops, custom field types and design mockups

For these past two weeks, we’ve been learning a lot about multiple loops and custom content types …

Now your probably telling yourself how do I even create theme let alone have my theme be on WordPress! Well the answer might shock you and its easy.
