I finally got a chance to code this past weekend! The last time I coded was in August before school started. Since then I would look at my GitHub and get stressed about not filling up my green activity squares ? . It felt so good to focus on HTML and CSS instead of lesson plans.
Frontend Mentor has been one of my favorite resources to use to practice my web development skills. So far I have completed 10 challenge projects. My latest project, Pricing Component with Toggle Switch, was a great opportunity to practice my Vanilla JavaScript skills. I needed to create a toggle switch that changed the monthly prices to the yearly prices.
I tried a few new techniques. I used the before and after pseudocode to place labels to the sides of the toggle switch. I also added the background images as their own svg elements and positioned them separately. This was a Junior Level project. The link for my version of the design is below.
Hi, Code Friends! I finally finished my Rebel-Cow ReactJS Calculator last week. It took a while for me to gather my thoughts and organization for this project. What really helped me was to study how other coders organized similar calculator projects. I was so “overjoyed” to see that lime green color when I passed 16 out of 16 tests. To be honest, I still have my “imposter” moments with coding.
As I complete the FreeCodeCamp Front End Libraries Projects, I’m learning to focus more of my attention on the functionality of the app instead of the appearance. I’m a very visual person, so my first instinct is to create the appearance of the app.
Here’s a link to my calculator: https://tlanetterose.github.io/JSCalculator-TLP/ #100DaysofCode
Here’s the thing: There will always be someone else out there who, according to our own perception, created a better portfolio or has demonstrated a more intricate knowledge of code. Some may take this as proof that they aren’t good enough and don’t deserve success…But the web is a big place. Another person’s perceived expertise doesn’t disqualify you from anything. You can still be great at what you do, regardless of what anyone else has achieved.
