Information About Me

A beginner web developer, with a passion for building. I've worked several different jobs in the maunfacturingworld trying to find something that allowed me to be able to create and build. Some jobs have filled that role, but were never able to continuiously challenge me learn and to improve. Web developement has given me that challenge to continiously learn and improve.

I am striving to become the best I can be and learn as much as I can to build the best and most accessible sites and apps that I work on. Excellent design is important to me, and having it accessible enough for people to enjoy my work is also very important to me.

I am eagarly awaiting to build your sites and apps!

Starting Over

After a several month break from coding, I have to decided to go back to the start and redo the projects I've made. Start over from the bottom. The first project I am tackling is the pokedex app. Today I started with making it simply show a basic list of pokemon from manually added array objects and gave some functionality to it so when they are clicked, details show in the dev console.

Day 8 of #100DaysOfCode

Fixed issue with navbar. It was not loading correctly due to the change in page transition I made. I changed the page transition to go from showing up on the y axis to the x axis and this caused the navbar to load incorrectly.

Start of my blogging.

Decided to redo my portfolio site. Started following along with a youtube video (video here) on the FreeCodeCamp.org youtube channel. It had this blog section on it so I decided to start keeping one, and do my own #100DaysOfCode with it. Let's see how this goes!
