I spent most of today writing, but I was determined to put aside some time to make the semantic and regex updates I mentioned yesterday. And I did! While trying to decide if I should break my form up using <section> elements, I came across the <fieldset> and <legend> elements in the MDN documentation, so… Continue reading Day Five: Form Updates

Figuring things out, one blog post at a time.
Day Four: HTML Form Validation & Semantic Structure
Today, I completed the form validation and semantic structure sections of Codecademy's HTML course. I'll be using what I reviewed today to work on my order form tomorrow and then it's on to CSS review with styling to follow. Things that stood out today: My old friend regex. I last encountered it when I was… Continue reading Day Four: HTML Form Validation & Semantic Structure
Day Three: Order Form
As mentioned yesterday, I decided to spend today practicing my HTML review so far by framing up an order form for a local company selling delicious-looking appetisers via whatsapp order. I scoured their FB page to gather the relevant details and got to work. Not everything I did in this form was included in yesterday's… Continue reading Day Three: Order Form
Day Two: HTML Forms
I reviewed HTML forms today via codecademy's free HTML course, but what I really did was remind myself over and over of the need to be patient until I finally realised how helpful this review really was. I've been reviewing my notes alongside the course, adding in any new insights I came across but it… Continue reading Day Two: HTML Forms
Day One (Again): Back at HTML
One year and three months later, two jobs later, I'm back. I never imagined I'd have to be away so long, but I never let go of the commitment to returning. Almost two months ago, I resigned from my full-time job (for a variety of critical reasons) and committed to returning to my coding journey… Continue reading Day One (Again): Back at HTML
D47: break;
I started my coding journey inadvertently in December of 2018, while looking for a fun way to encourage my daughter in the STEM arena. A lifelong Lits lover (with the Lits BA to prove it), I didn't know where to start, but stumbled across code.org and, while testing out the course to make sure it was suitable for her, I discovered that coding was something I wanted to pursue.
D42: Eureka!
I've read a great deal about coding since I've started this journey, much of it very (maybe even a bit too) encouraging ("Anyone can code! Here's how to go from novice to engineer in 6 months!"), but some of it more grounded in a realistic understanding of what it takes to actually make it in the field.
D39: Success!
What a difference a month makes! I completed Free Code Camp's Responsive Web Design Course last night with the submission of my Personal Portfolio Page and I'm thrilled.
D37: Finding Time
You know that old saying about life getting in the way? Isn't it funny how life always seems to try its hardest to get in the way of the things you most want to spend your time doing?
D36: Building That Portfolio
I kicked off the final project in Free Code Camp's Responsive Web Design course today: the Personal Portfolio Webpage. Man, was it weird to type "web developer" under my name, because I'm not there yet, but I will be.
