Although it is IMPOSSIBLE to ever get align-items vs justify-content right on the first try, getting familiar with how flexbox works will allow you to know at least one of them does what you want them to. If there's anything I've learned during my studies it's that development is much more about knowing you can do certain things and being able to google it when you don't know how, rather than having everything memorized. What you need to memorize you will memorize from practice, repetition and experience.

That being said: here are some (two) resources for learning flexbox!

Play Flexbox Froggy

This was such a huuuuuge help for me when learning flexbox. I completed all of the exercises once, and then I would use this as a guide and reference when trying to figure stuff out on my own projects. It's a great interactive way of learning, and it really simplifies and makes flexbox digestible. I recommend just crunching through it once, and you will be exposed to all the different ways of using flex! Then you will have in the back of your head what is possible with flex, and you will be able to recall this and maybe use the next resource to implement it if you don't remember all the keywords yourself!

CSS tricks - a complete guide to flexbox

This was recommended to me by a developer waaay back when i started studying, and it has saved me countless times. It's so good for referencing the different properties, with clear visual examples and a super easy-to-follow structure of the page. I have this bookmarked because of how often I use it.

I am making this Tumblr to have a track of my progress on programming, also to motivate myself and engage in the community.

Homework done in less than 30min, I'm proud of myself. It felt yesterday like I was hitting my head on the walls cuz I didn't know how to make it work. Actually I was reading both exercises in the wrong way and making it harder than it actually was, so my tip for the future is DON'T STRESS JUST READ IT AGAIN SLOWLY.

Also my perspective of how to handle some problems has being challenged again and again, in need to come to terms with trying different types of solutions. I need to look forward into getting out of the vicious cycle of using the same ways every time.

Also big procrastinating time in the morning but I figured out that the more I remain calm and easy I get to do things faster than if I was rushing to get them done quickly.

I entered the discord server for codeblr, and everyone is so nice and welcoming. Thanks guys <3

It's the end of the day and I watched 18 videos today, I'm so exhausted and my headache is killing me. I saw how to do the basics of class, methods and how to assign them.

Hello guys!!

It's an awfully hot summer here, I was afraid of the overheating as my laptop don't have a good airflow. Today I ended another module on Java, the focus was "if, else, while, for, switch, break, continue". I'm still not sure if I understood everything, my projects still have some bugs here and there - some unreasonable red lines even when everything is working just fine.

My biggest problem for now is: I have dyscalculia and math related exercises gives me so much stress... I don't understand the logic behind some and when I have so many variables going on I get lost in them.

I still have 3 "homework" assignments to do, two of them have tried already and for some reason won't work. Both of them are with for, while, and Math ;-; help.

As you can see on my photo, I still have so much to learn, but I am happy that today I accomplished 15% of the Java course. Clap clap clap. I never got so far, even in high school I didn't learn this much. I'm pretty motivated to keep going, even knowing that it will definitely get worse from now on and the easiest is already behind me.

Note to myself: please don't be afraid to do it wrong, you can only learn if you try again and again and again. Nobody got anywhere by staying the same. It's okay.

Hello guys!

Well, I've been doing a course of java in the past week or so, but I haven't been tracking and I want to keep a progress to be more sure I am in a good pace and will end it (kinda) faster.

So today I am going to pick a schedule and turn it into a habit, also I am going to organize how I will spend my time studying. I am learning Java (still on the very beginning heelp). So far, have made into 55 of 541 videos in the Java course, 77 hours of lessons and there's also practice and some challenges to do. I don't think I am able to get it done if I don't put my effort into being aware of my time, so my biggest flaw here is to keep focus and avoid procrastination at all my costs.

The course abt java has:

-Fundamentals of Java

-Programming oriented object

-Functional programming

-Mysql

-Mongodb

-Spring boot

-Javafx

-JPA

-Hibernate

And when I end this course I will continue with the ""sequel"", my point is to keep learning so I can get a job at the field and move on into being able to buy more books and keep this looping going. As the obsessive I am, I'm fully engaged in tech obviously, so my plans much depends on learning about it, and then how to make everything in my life about it too so... Yeah it will be fun, and a big stress probably. Hope I don't burn my head doing that.

Also, I bought last week a few other courses, cuz they were for such a good price I couldn't say no. Still haven't picked any of them to study, but, respectively they are:

-HTML and Css basics

-Terminal for beginners

-Gnu nano

-Shell script advanced

-Learn to compile

-VPS Server

-Create your own package manager

-Vagrant

-Slackware essentials

-Darkweb

Those are some topics I am interested in, even knowing a little about one here and there, will be a great challenge to advance my comprehension. I need to find time to put them into schedule. Wish me luck everybody. Maybe I am getting too overwhelmed to do everything I picked? Of course, but fuck it I can handle - just not at the same time obviously, sometime I will get there I just need to be patient with myself and keep consistency at check.

Today was a long day.

I woke up earlier, tried to go to the gym and almost passed out. Then I tried to study the most I could and in the afternoon I had an appointment to go. I wasn't so tired in ages.

Hello guys!

Here I am, a little late to do this diary journal about yesterday, but anyway... I could manage to study for 8hrs straight with a little pause for lunch, still getting stuck on a bunch of things I wish I could understand in a faster pace. But one day I'll get it, I just have to be a little more patient with myself... Also had therapy yesterday and I think it is kicking just now - in the morning of the next day.
