All solutions

First time using API's and integrating them into this app.

What's the best way to learn about API's?

Switched from normal way to using Utility classes for my styling. Still a bit of a learning curve and I think it made this one a bit more difficult. However, I did take the time to utilize the javascript skills I learned and see if I could make more complex code. For the most part it worked, but I still need to improve.

Question: have you utilized utility classes?

This was the challenge that Kevin Powell did in a collaboration with other sites. This was a difficult challenge because there was a lot of stuff to look at and learn. Though it was nice to be able to follow along with Kevin's teaching and complete the final task by myself. There was some things I couldn't figure out, but for the time being I'm just glad to have finished this. The most important thing I picked up from this challenge was what are utility classes and how to use them.

Day 6 of 1 challenge a day I don't think it's 1 to 1 but it was still a fun challenge to do. Though, since I have attempted a more difficult challenge, I wanted to do this without researching as much.

Question: how do you learn javascript?

Day 5 of 1 challenge a day. Unfortunately, I can't exactly say it was one a day, this challenge actually took me 3 days to get to the state it's at now. And I'm not satisfied. There were a lot of hurdles I had to overcome, and the major part of that is javascript. This challenge really had to make me learn and research it enough, but that being said, I still need a lot of work to really improve my JS code. While JS was an issue, the next issue was my solution to the floating cards. Even though I had a plan of attack for it, it seemed to not go the way I had anticipated. I had to rely a lot on position: absolute again, and I just couldn't figure out what to do. This leads into my next issue, that being my site appears to be broken on mobile safari. I can't really seem to understand why as the emulator on Firefox seemed to be fine, so that's just another unfortunate part of this.

That being said, I enjoyed this challenge. I hope to get some kind of feedback and recommendation for writing better JS and help with understanding how to do the cards better.

Thanks

Day 4 of 1 challenge a day:

Challenge 4: Holy cow this was a step up in challenge (pun intended) for me!

For a newbie challenge, this really forced me to research a lot and look for how to solve this.

In terms of CSS, I felt that it was pretty straightforward, though one particular issue I had was when converting the mobile site to desktop view, the positioning of the my containers wouldn't be centered in the screen. I remedied this by adding padding to one of the two columns. It's not an ideal solution, but it did its part. If someone knows a better solution to this, please let me know.

Now the biggest challenge for me was the Javascript. I had very little experience with JS, but after this challenge I think I'm much more knowledgeable about it. That being said, this was really rough in the beginning as I had to search through tons of sites and try to piece together what I needed. I'm sure people could've accomplished this with using other resources, but I went in using only pure JS and CSS. My JS seems rather bloated, but I hope to rectify this in due time.

My questions to the community are how did you learn JS and what are your recommendations for understanding it easier?

This is part 3 of my 1 challenge a day personal challenge. I also want to preface by saying that I started this challenge basically right after I finished my second challenge (12 hours ago at the time of writing) I could’ve spent more time and perfect this but honestly I was getting too tired to think properly so I just wanted to finish and submit what I had.

This was a difficult challenge I feel. Compared to some of the other newbie challenges, this one seemed to have more of a focus on being used on either mobile or desktop. At least that's how I felt.

I also wanted to challenge myself by trying to go for the extra credit by not using a single piece of Javascript, and just went only markup and CSS.

While it was challenging to figure out how to get to this outcome, it was rather fun to learn about the process.

That being said, my image formatting got somewhat messed up and I'm positive someone will notice that I relied a lot on position:absolute, if someone can help me resolve that, I'd be happy.

My question is just what is the best way to stick an image to a div or other container while also being responsive.

The challenge wasn't super difficult, but I did have problems with getting Javascript to work as well as figuring out what was wrong with my buttons.

Can anyone tell me if there are better ways to center elements? Even now I can't seem to properly center my radios despite everything I've tried.

What's the best way to learn and remember how to style a container and its contents?

I have had some practice building cards with different states, but when it came to building this I had trouble remembering what to do, and trying to figure out how to make it responsive.

Thanks
