6th project of my 50in50 series, based on a Udemy course by Brad Traversy.
For some of these, I just follow the tutorial exactly as it is, focused on sharpening those core concepts;
but on occasions, I take the tutorial as a starting point, and from there on I work on making it my own - playing with different styles, adding details, sometimes even using extra tools (e.g. LESS or SASS).
For this one, I designed the layout with CSS Grid, which I had never used before. I also set a media query to achieve a responsive design.
Either way, my goal is always to have fun creating beautiful things and expanding my toolkit, one line of code at a time.
I had bought Brad's course a while ago, when I was starting my journey in web development; however, as many of us do, I bought it along with several others, and I left it behind while working my way through a more extensive one. Then, I got into a coding bootcamp, learnt React, and never worked with pure CSS and JS again since.
But recently, I've been reconnecting with my passion for frontend development and design, and understanding, more than ever, the importance of mastering the basics. So I decided to pick CSS and vanilla JS back up, starting the course over from scratch. And let me tell you, I am having lots of fun creating these projects; the process is short and simple, and I'm finding it's a great way to dust off many essential concepts that were getting rusty in the back of my mind.
I'm actually looking forward to creating another one tomorrow.
Stay tuned!
