QA Functional Testing

These days I’m reading a lot about software testing . Funny enough, I was so sure I was going to become a fullstack or  UI/UX designer but I became very interested in QA as well. I am a very creative and artistic person but I have always felt uncomfortable working in the creative field. Art and design becomes boring and stressful when you do it for a living and when your income is dependable on other people’s subjective opinions. Thankfully front end development is one thing and graphic design another. I love doing graphic design in my freetime. So I'm open to both paths and we'll see which one is going to be the one for me.  So, testing. Some people find it unappealing or boring. Some people find it interesting only because it is often described as “easy” or a good “entry-level job”. Having explored multiple Youtube channels where real software testers describe their profession, I have come to the conclusion that testing is not easy and definitely not an easy entry-level job.

Week 2 at JAMK (HTML & CSS)

Things I learned on the second week of studying at JAMK:    HTML id and class CSS external style sheets CSS padding and margins CSS backgrounds Basically, what I learned during this week at JAMK was how to make a lovely 90s style website 😂 How wonderful. Thoughts on the things I learned: The most important thing I learned this week was definitely making a CSS style sheet. Now it’s so much easier managing all the styling on the page. The HTML id and classes were also a very useful thing to learn and they became handy right after learning how to make an external style sheet.

Self-study Saturday #2 - HTML

 Yesterday  I continued the amazing  Udemy’s Full Stack course by Angela Yu, the founder of the London App Brewery.   It’s a comprehensive course on HTML, CSS and JavaScript. The teacher Angela is so well-spoken, articulate and supportive that learning with her is easy and truly inspiring. I’ve decided to commit every Saturday for this course. That is, if I can keep my hands off of it during the weekdays. Things I learned today: Creating more pages for my personal site Creating links for these pages, navigating inside the website Adding pictures Trying absolute URLs and relative URLs for image sources Creating a subfolder for images (this was so good to learn!) Cool websites I discovered today: photobucket.com (store images online) crop-circle.imageonline.co (cool cropping tool, I made a circle image) Again, I had so much fun studying with Angela. I cannot recommend this course enough. It is wonderful to see my own webpage improving every week 😊 If you are studying HTML/CSS/JavaScri

Week 1 at JAMK - Git & Gitlab + HTML/CSS

 The first week at JAMK (Jyväskylä University of Applied Sciences) is over. Courses I studied: - Git & Gitlab (studied and completed wohoo) - Web techniques (1/7 done) Learning method: independent studying I need to elaborate a bit more. It came as a bit of a surprise to most of the students that after the orientation week we’ll basically just study alone, there are no lessons. There are videos that the teachers filmed some years ago but that’s it. We’ll never meet the teachers in person. Thank goodness we have a lovely teacher tutor Maarit in the classroom to help us when we get stuck. That is one of the reasons why I decided to study on site at the Dynamo campus. Furthermore, it is easier to concentrate at school than at home. So my daily routine is to go to school at 9 and leave at around 3 or 4. Even though independent studying was a great disappointment, there is one surprising benefit: I can set my own pace. _________________________ Git & Gitlab I dived into the deep e

Self-study Saturday #1 - HTML

 Today I started studying something amazing. Udemy’s Full Stack course by Angela Yu, the founder of the London App Brewery.   It’s a comprehensive course on HTML, CSS and JavaScript. The teacher Angela is so well-spoken, articulate and supportive that learning with her is easy and truly inspiring. I’ve decided to commit every Saturday morning for this course. That is, if I can keep my hands off of it. Things I learned today: HTML attributes Comments <!- -  - -> <em> is better than <i>, and <strong> is better than <b> Some of the biggest IT gurus have homepages only with HTML (so don’t be too ashamed of your first 90s style site). John Kleinberg is a good example. Cool websites I discovered today: Codepen.io (try HTML, CSS and Javascript) W3schools.com (HTML codes) Devdocs.io (HTML codes) Internet Archive Wayback Machine (see how famous websites looked back in the day) Unicode-table.com (emojis for HTML) With the help of the course I started building m
