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 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 de...

Here we go!

 Hi, I’m Daniela but you can call me Dani. I’m a 33-year old English & Fine Arts teacher living in Finland and who has dived head first into the exciting world of IT and coding. This is the beginning of my IT journey. How exciting is that! The journey begins at JAMK, the University of Applied Sciences in Jyväskylä where I’ll be taking a nine-month long course about software development. What do I know about software development? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. I’m a rookie. I’m a noob. But one has to start from somewhere so… here we go! :D
