Today I’ll build a prototype for the website. I’ll finish watching the Adobe Xd guide on how to translate the prototype to an actual website, but maybe I’ll actually settle for framer again, since I don’t really want to just follow any guide, but actually learn the process. So using framer and learning html and css separately sounds like the better choice to collect genuine experience.
Well, let’s see after the 1h long adobe Xd guide part 2.
Okay so…that’s way too advanced. A friend of mine told me a popular running gag the other day, that was something along the lines of “as a digital developer you plan things in order to know what you’ll want to change along the way”
That’s kind of where I am right now, I learned a lot about prototyping but I think it’s time to actually get to coding, since designing another prototype and not getting it online, or getting it online through wordpress or something like that, might look cool, but it might be within my comfort zone, which makes me want to challenge it, and go for a bigger task.
Alright so I’ll explore a few options on how to go on from this point, I do want to keep the transparency though so I’ll have to keep that in mind, so that you have something to track.
After watching some videos on how to go on from this point I decided that for this challenge it would be best to go for freeCodeCamp.org, I used it a year ago to learn some basics but never really went all in with it. It tracks how many lessons I learned each day and what exactly I did, which might the fairest way to showcase what I learned. It also starts with html, teaches css second and javascript right after, which seems to be the the perfect path for me to take.
So this will be the link needed to follow my progress from now on, instead of the taiga boards:

Oh by the way, here’s what the taiga boards look like at the moment:
Ever since I started doing taiga boards for my other project I fell in love with them. Setting these up really helps me to keep an efficient workflow going.
Alright so let’s start with freecodecamp.org and I’ll keep track of my progress and thought processes after every session in here, so it doesn’t get too impersonal.
Yeah I feel like it’s a great choice so far, it’s like small tasks strung together to a big picture, and all the things I do daily actually show up.
The one potential problem I see is that it doesn’t really add up to my project, I’ll learn the language this way, but maybe I should learn the languages whilst building something?
Might be more in the spirit of C<>DE.
Well, off to bed, I’ll think about that tomorrow.
