My CSS Challenges

CSS Challenge 1

codepen 1 I used an article to wrap div2 and div3 in so they would stay in the proper order when they were floated right.

CSS Challenge 2

codepen2 Using display: block; on all the div elements put them each on their own line. Then I added margins to div2 to center it. And floated div3 right.

Prework gist for Turing School of Software and Design.

##Day 1

Read Chapters 1 and 2 on Structure and Text from HTML and CSS: Design and Build Websites

####Questions from reading:

-1. On a website, what is the purpose of HTML code? HTML code is the structure on which websites are built.

-2. What is the difference between an element and a tag? Every element has a start tag and an end tag. The element is the word, such as "article". The tag is the syntax that the element is wrapped in: <article></article>

Developing Empathetic Programmers

##Developing Empathetic Programmers ###After reading the articles above, create a gist on Github and reflect (4-6 sentences) on the following prompts.

-What role does empathy play in your life and how has it helped you?

Empathy has played an important role in my previous career as a firefighter and paramedic. As a firefighter, while we did work as a team in stressful situations, we also lived together for 24 hour shifts in the firehouse. Listening to my coworkers and having empathy for them on tough days made it a better place to work. I think that I feel better about my actions when I act with empathy in mind.

-How does empathy help you build better software?

Developing Mindsets to Succeed

Developing Mindsets to Succeed

  1. Read through 29 Behaviors That Will Make You an Unstoppable Programmer
  • Pick out 3 behaviors that resonate with you in the list and describe why they resonate with you in a reflection (4-6 sentences).

  • Use google very aggressively.
    I feel that this is key. I am still learning how to google better. I am improving my googling. There was a link in this area that went to an article that said to open the first ten links that come up on your google search and read them. I have found that helpful already.

    1. Maintain an obnoxious amount of stick-to-itiveness.
      This is another very important skill. I am working on the balance between stick to-it and too-much-frustration. I feel that if I am persistent with my study of coding, I will be successful.
    1. Go play foosball. That’s often more important than coding.

Example!!

Challenge 5

I used these elements and specified these styles to make this thing happen. I chose to use white text color because you can't see it if it's black. (duh). (When you write this make your actual description more meaningful...)
