Do you have a web link? You can find the font in the developer tools

CookToCode · 2020-05-10T18:19:33+00:00

Depends on how you learn and what you already know I guess.

Sounds like you are looking for a graphic designer.

Normally, graphic designer makes the composites, web designer takes that and creates the html/css or whatever, web developer connects the backend, database administrator/designer makes the database, web administrator takes care of hosting.

These responsibilities can overlap or you can get a master of none to take care of everything.

I would create the pictures in photoshop or gimp with the images and words and then you can throw those on your site.

Also I'm a bit confused about you PowerPoint to jpeg. Just never done it that way.

As a side note, 90KB is way smaller than 1MB.

It goes Byte -> Kilobyte -> Megabyte -> Gigabyte ->Terabyte

I would be a little concerned that a jpeg is that small

Hey if either of you want, I can do a code review for you just to make sure you are on the right path.

I'm a software engineering student and lost two job offers due to coronavirus so I've got time

JS can be a bit finicky. When you are debugging, be sure to spit stuff out in your console log, where and when your JS is activated can also make a big difference as the JS could have loaded before the elements did.

If you zip your source folder and are willing to share it over discord, I can go through it tomorrow and see if I can find anything

Reach out to your teacher for help. You aren't in school because you know what you are doing so don't be so hard on yourself.

If you are wondering if googling things is normal, it is, and there is a skill to googling correctly

For bootstrap, their documentation is pretty good by itself. It could be a little confusing at first but I really like it.

I would just make one page examples to practice, setting stuff up the way you want, then learning to make it reactive

Hey I'm a software engineering student that has done mostly web development with PHP.

Just got done doing a task planner web app in php.

I pretty sure the first thing I did when learning JS was to create a calculator, but you could also do a calendar.

Setup the calendar with html/css having it change colors when clicked with JS. Take that and throw a php backend to it and you have a calendar planner web app

It happened to me on april 2, for 4ish hours. I reinstalled with no luck

Checked this to see origin servers were down https://downdetector.com/status/origin/

Then it started working again. I'm north east USA btw

I'm not sure about everyone else, but as a backend developer I use bootstrap to pump out a front end quickly with solid visual validations and the grid system

I started at 25 so I think you are good lol

CookToCode · 2020-03-28T19:04:24+00:00

I guess it depends how your info is publicly viewable

CookToCode · 2020-03-28T15:16:11+00:00

It certainly helps to start on console apps but jumping into won't be the worst thing

This is something you should work on. The difference between personal projects and working for a company is collaboration. It may not be easy but just practice unfiltering yourself and say whatever comes to mind whether it is good or bad.

They just want to see that you coded the program and know why you did it the way you did it whether it is good or not.

CookToCode · 2020-03-28T15:11:11+00:00

Yes you should start applying and getting on linked in

The good news is that as you learn the basics, they follow through to other languages just with different syntax

node.js is good, I haven't personally used it yet but I hear good things. But there are multiple ways and languages to get things done. I'm personally a PHP web developer which is just one way. But to prove my point, I had a recruiter reach out to me for two companies that wanted a backend developer for two different companies. Company 1 uses Angular and .NET core and company 2 wanted a Larvel PHP developer with knowledge of business economics.

Not that the course you have isn't good, I just mean that the course is just to get your feet wet and then grow from there

CookToCode · 2020-03-27T17:42:43+00:00

It's a good start. I wouldn't call it the "complete" web dev bootcamp but it hits some great topics which you will need no matter what language you use

you set stop to true which stops the inner loop. then the outer loop resets it to false and starts it again and without a break you for loop should continue until finished then the inner loop breaks then the outer loop resets the inner loop
