Athoug Codes

I started YouTube. It’s been a long dormant dream of mine but it’s finally getting the light of day. I’m still a beginner but having fun.

This is the latest video.

I think I’ll be sharing ideas, failings, bts here if anyone is interested.

Man it’s been such a long long time since I posted here, and during that time, a lot has happened. One of which, is that passion to program has dimmed a bit. I don’t know why, maybe it’s because I’m a bit burnt out or perhaps that the culture I’ve been part of were quite sexist and the result was me just hating it all together. 

Regardless though, I want it back. I want to be exited to develop something,  to laugh when making something silly, and smash my head on the keyboard trying to figure out that bug. That is the plan. So within the next 100 days, I want to code something regardless of how small or big. The point is just code.

I started today with doing this silly package downloader image that symbolizes what I aim to get out of this project.

If you’d like to check it out you can find the link here.

I’ll also keep a detailed log of what I’m doing in this repo.

Hello @studysabelle  

so images are self-closing tags meaning you do not need the in the end. your tag should look like so:  

Also, make sure the image path is correct. if you’re using a URL, check it. if you’re using an image in your folder, make sure the path to locating the image is right and the file extinction as well. 

Here’s a link to the Mozilla Docs on images: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/HTML/Multimedia_and_embedding/Images_in_HTML

If it’s still not working, I can have a look at your code :) 

It sure has been a long time since I last posted. Damn.. whenever I feel that I finally got the hang of things I just start all over and start writing a post all awkward like... You know what, I’m just going to ignore the introductions, and get straight to the point. 

I spent this summer learning a bit of backend, working on a couple of projects,  using Udemy to learn, and adjust a couple of previous projects. To list a few of the things that made me feel quite productive: 

- Completing Colt Steels course

- Redesigning my Generative Art Site 

- Finishing Adwa’s portfolio site [check here site here]

- Finishing my Portfolio site [check out my site here]

I honestly was overthinking my website and how it would look, but then I just decided the hell with it and just get something out there and by time, I can change it or improve on it. 

You know that exhilarating feeling you get when you cross out a bunch of things from your to-do list? That’s how I’m feeling right now :) 

One of the things I made or rather followed, was a Udemy course by Jonas called the pig game, I added it to the 180-day project so I guess a new entry to the project day 58 is added. 

You can check the projects here. 

Hello all, 

So as the title suggests, I’ve just started dabbling in the backend world. Truth be told it’s intimidating, scary doesn’t begin to describe how I’m feeling, also don’t forget that fear mixture as well [sigh]. It brings everything I learned for the frontend and tells me “hey hey remember that structure, yeah forget all about that, these are the new rules”... But with that said, the possibilities are endless once I get familiar with it enough to experiment. Also, the moment I got my first server running felt freaking awesome!  Not to mention the moment I connected to a database and fetched and displayed data was the closest I felt as a wizard. 

Now that the intro is out of the way, here’s a small thing I worked on with the backend stack. True it might not be that pretty, but it’s a step towards developing my skills. So you might be asking “Okay okay we get it what have you done just tell us” to you fellow reader I tell you, I’m trying to display cats drawn by ASCII art. 

For this project, I’ve used a couple of models Which I will list:

Express [framework] 

EJS [template engine]

cat-me [a model that generates the ASCII art cats] 

Thinking about this, I though “simple just generate the cat display it on the screen”. So I did just that and 

Yeah... I completely forgot that white spaces are ignored. So I started messing with regular expressions and trying to solve it and well 

I think by now, you can tell I have a love or rather a fascination for Space. So today's project is another one that plays with Particle.js First things first the background. It wasn’t that difficult all that I had to do is adjust the JSON file  

Next was adding the title and adding some color to the site 

A friend developer showed me a project of his that uses particle.js and it really intrigued me thus I decided to dabble in it a bit. I followed a couple of tutorials and this was one of them. 

So now that I have the power of Ajax and requests [ spent the week learning it] I finally can use APIs so I decided to start simple. A weather app. The cool thing is also I’m using geolocation so no need for inputting your data [look at that we’re improving] ^^ 

Anywho, I was inspired by this dribble. and after a couple of hours, this was the result. Pretty happy with the result :)  

This was one of the most fun projects I’ve done! It was part of the Bootcamp course I’m taking. it’s a clone of the awesome patatap site. Here’s a demo.
