Github and Godaddy domain

-
Today is the day I finally decided to learn the inevitable - Github! A brand new world to be honest. It was intimidating to dive into Godaddy domain settings and Github terminology: "commit", "repository", "pull request" etc. For a newbie, it goes to the dark lands of backend. But combining some resources I actually managed my Godaddy domain anzudev.com to be hosted by Github on the background, via this repository: https://github.com/anzuj/anzuj.github.io. So, for the first time in my life, my own HTML+CSS is live with a custom domain. For this day at least, I am the queen.
(I'm rejoicing in small things, okay?)


Here are the 2 resources that helped me get there:

  • This article explaining how to tweak Godaddy settings (in the above video there are namecheap.com settings)

I did not use the Git terminal for this, but Windows Powershell. For anyone following (I also commented this on the video), keep in mind there are some outdated commands which won't work on Windows Powershell. Most importantly, touch index.html is invalid, and you should rather use ni index.html. Found this out after getting an error and browsing StackOverflow.

I guess when your learning materials are from 2014, you get a free troubleshooting experience on top! :D

Technical task continues!

I've been elbow deep in a recently assigned technical task and I may see the light in the end of the tunnel here! I reached out to a friend (Per, if you're reading this:  ♡ ), and he was a really great teacher, guiding me how to achieve what I wanted without explicitly copy pasting me the solution. Here's what we achieved by the end of the day. See the Pen Tabulator project by Anzelika ( @anzuj ) on CodePen . UPSIDE: All the dictionaries now dynamically load upon page load, fetching the data from a nested array of all dictionaries! DOWNSIDE: Had to revamp the "add new pair" function I made for a single dictionary before, so that a form of 2 fields and a submit button would be generated for each and single dictionary within the loop. The above codepen solution works, but it is a bit lengthy, so I went back to the drawing board and tried out Tabulator's native "add row" method to reduce the amount of code. The results are pretty specta

The time has come! To craft my very own site, my gem, my business card to the Front End world, my creative baby! *jumps around excitedly* I knew that I wanted my own site to incorporate all of this: animated backdrop of particles I fell in love with a few weeks ago (Github here ) mobile responsiveness dark backdrop and light text smooth animations for changing sections no CSS framework (Bootstrap/Semantics) to practice positioning the whole site from scratch one pager with a toggle menu to follow the contemporary trends fresh feel, big clear elements When browsing for inspiration I found  this  tutorial that pretty much covered all the above. It also involves practicing all of this: vanilla CSS, positioning all elements by yourself via flexbox. Good chance to practice the basic understanding of how positioning and display attributes work jQuery. Toggle menu and animations are supported by jQuery, allowing me to familiarise  myself with that syntax and techniques m
