HTML5/CSS - you can do all this with letters, numbers and crazy signs!?
Hazmat Code and Eng DK30 Quarantine 2020 1 2
Description
I want to learn the basics of HTML5 and CSS. Also I want to see how much I can achieve in a new topic I have no experience in with 45 minutes of time dedicated to it per day.
Recent Updates
Didn’t do a full 45 minutes today, it’s getting late. Still I have found a solution to a problem, which bothered me yesterday - only to have 2 new problems now. I’m not quite sure, if my solution is just a workaround and if it can be done in a better way. I’ll hopefully find out tomorrow!
Did a good hour of creating my first website with almost no help from the tutorials! It’s still pretty ugly but I’m looking forward to continue working on it!
Did ABSOLUTELY nothing on the last two days. Felt super exhausted and nearly fell asleep at my desk. Came back on track this morning and spent an hour with basic CSS stuff. After the initial “Ok I get how this works” phase I’m now entering “I have no idea how any of this works!”. Tomorrow will be the last day of pure watch and repeat tutorial stuff. After that I’ll get into week 2.
Did some work yesterday, went pretty well. Most of it made more sense when I heard it for the second time. It was way easier to follow. Feeling pretty exhausted today, still spend 40 minutes on some CSS.
The tutorial watching continues. First webpage finished. I will watch it again tomorrow and see, how much I can remember/predict of what happens!
Got into CSS for about an hour. This makes more sense than expected!
Continued today on my work of yesterday. Basic stuff, 45 minutes of work. Check!
Learned about the basic structure of HTML and started writing with Sublime.
Estimated Timeframe
Apr 24th - May 24th
Week 1 Goal
Get used to basic commands - watch tutorials on how to start and recreate what is shown. Try to understand what each command shown does and when to use it (constantly remind myself: BASIC STUFF ONLY!).
Week 2 Goal
Try to use what I have learned in week 1 and create something on my own. Do simple and stupid things to have a good laugh!
Week 3 Goal
Make a concept about a specific and easy page I want to realize. Work towards this goal.
Week 4 Goal
If the work from week 3 seems promising, finish the page and give it some simple polish. Publish the page. If not, then goof around for 45 minutes a day and publish some hilarious nonsense!
