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:


With the help of the course I started building my own homepage. That was definitely the coolest thing today. So far the page only has my name and some basic information about me. Next time I will learn to create lists, build my online CV and add a picture.

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.

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....
