First project. Newbie of 3 weeks

Hi,

I just started coding for the first time 3 weeks ago with 0 experience and have just finished my first assignment ‘Tribute Page’.
This took me roughly 8 hours and majority of my time was spent reading how to do things or watching video guides. I really struggled with positioning things, images, paragraphs, headers, quotes. Also knowing what type of html or bootstrap to use to achieve a certain look. I tried to mimic the example as closely as possible.
If I could please get some feedback on how you think I went for my first project in regards to time frame and end result.
I also know I may not have used the most convenient techniques to achieve the end result and or used strategies which might be considered bad in the industry. If you are a willing soul and are wanting to help me a lot I would greatly appreciate an in depth breakdown on my coding techniques. If not that is also ok :slight_smile:

My goal is to join a team in a few months or when I feel confident I have the basics either as an intern or as a junior, so I think learning the basics and best practice is important as I don’t want to have messy or unorthodox work.

P.S. I am not even sure if the link I supplied for my project will work or if it is the correct one. If you are having troubles please let me know.

any feedback or such an advice needed

When the page loads i will just show a first quote to the user not a blank one. You can do it 2 ways: hard coded in html or move your api call into a separate function witch you must call in the doc.ready and the btn click event.

thanks for suggestion
