For this project you will be building a digital resume from scratch. You will be required to use specific preprocessing skills to accomplish your tasks.
- Create a forked copy of this project.
- Add your project manager as collaborator on Github.
- Clone your OWN version of the repository (Not Lambda's by mistake!).
- Create a new branch: git checkout -b
<firstName-lastName>
. - Implement the project on your newly created
<firstName-lastName>
branch, committing changes regularly. - Push commits: git push origin
<firstName-lastName>
.
Follow these steps for completing your project.
- Submit a Pull-Request to merge Branch into master (student's Repo). Please don't merge your own pull request
- Add your project manager as a reviewer on the pull-request
- Your project manager will count the project as complete by merging the branch back into master.
- Verify that you have LESS installed correctly by running
less -v
in your terminal, if you don't get a version message back, reach out to your project manager for help. - Open your terminal and navigate to your preprocessing project by using the
cd
command - Once in your project's root folder, run the following command
less-watch-compiler less css index.less
- Verify your compiler is working correctly by changing the
background-color
on thehtml
selector tored
- Once you see the red screen, you can delete that style and you're ready to start on the next task
- Review the example resume. Notice how simplistic the example resume is. Develop a simple layout of your choosing. If you are struggling to be creative, you may use the example resume as your design file. Note: you are only required to build one page, anything more than that would be stretch.
- The resume content will be provided by you. The content can be about you or a fictional character.
- Content: Navigation - Build a simple navigation with 4 items of your choosing
- Content: Intro - Have a short introduction as to why you would be a good hire
- Content: Skills - Showcase a list of skills you have somewhere on your resume
- Content: Work History - Showcase your work history somewhere on your resume
- Content: Contact - Provide some way a potential employer could contact you. Phone number, email, or a full on contact form (doesn't have to work)
- Variables: Incorporate variables in your project for color and font stacks.
- Nesting: Every selector should be nested inside the main container. Avoid having global styles unless they are element level.
- Mixins: Create 2 mixins of your choosing. Hint: It's super helpful to use flexbox properties in mixins
- Mobile: Use nested-at rules to provide a mobile version of your resume. Use
500px
as amax-width
for mobile.
- Incorporate a google font of your choosing
- Convert the great idea CSS into LESS. Introduce variables, mixins, nesting, etc.
- Create a link to the portfolio page and create a layout that would allow users to see your work. A good idea is to link projects back to their github repos so employers can see your code.
