My Advancement in Coding…so far
2 min readOct 18, 2020
- My experience in coding so far has been one that is extremely fair and balanced. This class is very rigorous, however I have been keeping up with the syllabus and due dates for assignments. The resume assignment was challenging for me at first but once I got a better understanding of flexbox and CSS grid, it came a lot easier. I had a tutoring session on Saturday and the tutor helped me with CSS grid on my resume and how to style parent and child elements. The only thing I would change is that the class is in person and not online and also maybe a little flexibility on the due dates of assignments.
- The html DOM is the document object model of a web-page and it is a programming interface. The DOM is constructed as a tree of objects and is overall a programming API for HTML and XML documents. It defines the logical structure of a document and the way a document is accessed and manipulated. There are two parts of DOM: DOM Core and DOM HTML.
- Coding a website to be responsive means that it starts with the desktop (at maximum required resolution) and then gradually scales down to the smallest screen like with that of an iPhone. The mobile-first strategy is like creating/designing a mobile app and then adapting that layout so it can be viewed neatly on a smartphone or tablet without too many modifications.
- To me, coding always looked like one of the computers from the Matrix with a bunch of green alpha-numeric characters running down the screen in columns. Before this bootcamp, I took a JavaScript pre-course so I am familiar with for loops, if statements, arrays, objects, operators, booleans, etc. I also know that code is executed from top to bottom and that one miniscule error can throw off an entire function.
- In a year from today I see myself working in either a big tech company or small start-up here in Austin. I plan to get a junior web developer role or software developer role and want to be doing something in game-design or creating and executing apps (for smartphones, tablets, etc).
