That's one. Then there's this:
Of course I would change the color around the frame of the profile picture if I went with either of those. There's this:
I'm liking the forest one so far, it looks more cheery than the others.
Okay, I upgraded the borders:
Sweet. I tried out another design, but then saw that I had to give attribution to the photographer, and I don't want that to distract from the site, so instead I went with this:
I think it looks professional. Here's the "Portfolio" page:
And then the "Home" page.
So far so good. However, that home page is far too empty. So, I'm working on adding something neat to it...
I did it!!!
I would need a video to show it, and I don't want to upload a video, but basically, the text on the page is typed as the user watches! Just imagine it:
Super! So, I changed it up a bit, it's left-justified now, and I got the cursor to stick where it's supposed to, let's take a look:
The centered version actually looks better in still-frame, but in motion, as it is, it actually looks better left-justified, as the eye can follow the script (instead of being stuck in the center). So, that works.
I'm super proud of that, I remember the first time I saw something like that in a website, I thought, "I want to learn how to do that!"
And now I know it's actually super simple.
That's the way it goes as you level up as a dev, things that used to impress you become completely understood, and then they no longer impress.
It is what it is. :)
I'm at 6.5 hours so far today, and I've made pretty great progress!
Okay, I'm calling it a day at 8 hours. I'm almost finished with my site, all I need is the contact me section, so that'll be tomorrow's work load.
Today was a great day, I finished the "About" section and the "Home" section. I also solved a quick algorithm, find the largest number in an array, and return the index of that number within the array:
var array = [1,2,10,3,4];
var num = 1;
var final;
var indexCounter = 0;
for (var i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {
if (array[i] > num) {
num = array[i];
final = array[i];
}
}
indexCounter = array.indexOf(final);
console.log("the highest number is " + num + " and the index of that number is " + indexCounter);
It was simple, but it was still good practice. I'm going to start refreshing on algorithms more often, perhaps daily, as coding interviews involve white-boarding algorithms, so I want to keep my algorithm skills fresh.
Good stuff.
