Not Good Code

Hello, my name is Jorge. This is my personal site to track my progress as I learn front end development.The learning material that I am using are:

I am using this site to categorize all of the learning I'm doing as it serves for a really good playground but also practical experience to create, deploy and test all of the knowledge I've learned. The code will be ugly

1/11/2025: First Project Selected


In order to enforce my learning via Scrimba & Mimo, I've decided to also set my own target on what I want to learn. I figured in order to learn effectively, teaching myself on how to accomplish something I'd actually use in real life is key to solidifying concepts.

The first project is to recreate the landing page within this site. Why? A few reasons. The Fracttal site is the first one I've seen where it a truly well designed B2B SaaS software in the industrial space. Typically within the B2B Industrial Space (Let's call it IB2B for short) you either get robust functionality but antiquated design or frivolous design with no horespower or true functionality.

This site also uses a dynamic H1 header that changes to showcase the versatility of the SaaS platform. I think that's really cool. Below is a screenshot of the site with the two main features, the dynamic header text and the banner image that pans to show equipment around the site. These features are, respectively, highlighted by a green and orange box. While I'm not sure exactly where I'll recreate this site (I'll likely create a subdomain and then a nav bar to to link to the project.). As always I'll track progress here.

1/12/2025: Further Scrimba & Site Edits

I've begun thinking in containers. Specifically, div containers. This abstract concept has me thinking in terms of boxes which the main thing that I associate with this tag. What intrigues me the most is the ability for a div tag to be both a category - meaning an easy way to mass edit the selector in the CSS file, like blog text and background (you'll see all the blog entries will have this style). But also for design purposes, alignment, etc.
I've yet to solidify fully the concept of divs since I've yet to even complete my Scrimba course but the I will say that updating both my notion, scrimba and website have proven to be incredibly tedious.
