Useful Articles

CodeBetter

A useful resource for the software/web development community, CodeBetter has a fairly technical focus. Also, in their words, their content focuses on “building up” rather than “tearing down,” meaning that rather than critiquing the flaws of certain techniques or tools, they are more interested in keeping the site positive and finding ones that work.

CSS-Tricks

Their almanac is where you should go to learn all things CSS, but despite the site name, CSS-Tricks covers more than one thing. While CSS is still, understandably, what the bulk of the content is about, the blog has published articles on JS, jQuery, PHP, and pretty much all things web development. Chris Coyier is the founder and writes most of the posts (1856 at last count!).

Codecademy

Chances are if you have looked into learning to code before, you’ve encountered Codecademy. It’s easy to use and displays the results of your code as you’re coding. Codecademy offers a wide range of programming languages on their interactive platform as well: HTML & CSS, JavaScript, PHP, Python, Ruby, Angularjs, Command Line, and more.

Front End Projects

This project was to test my web developer skills because I was told not to use any framework.

I used the Skeleton grid to build the webpage

This page I built to link to the first two webpage I did.

The project was about testing some of the functions we did at boot-camp.

Four widgets for introduction to DOM. They are about phone billing

Testing the four widgets from the dom-intro. I used Mocha chai for the testing

Front-end journey

My journey in the front-end is going well. Coding for the front-end is exciting because I get to design on how the webpage is going to look. I personally hate designing stuff but when I code it, its much better and interesting.
