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...
