Challenge: Build a Tribute Page

Link to the challenge:

You are the first person to ever be confused when transitioning to the projects.

Oh wait, no, the opposite of that - most people find this a very jarring transition. Sure, you were safe and cozy in the FCC environment, guided through small little problems, and now you’re expected to build a page.

  1. Decide where you’re going to do it. A lot of people use codepen.io because it’s fairly simple. Other options include repl.it, codesandbox.io, or sbin.com. There’s probably a new one popping up every week. Some people also build locally but that gets a little more complicated - doable but it takes a little more know-how.
  2. Try to build a simple “Hello World!” page just to make sure you understand what is going on.
  3. Pick a subject for your page.
  4. Start building it. I’d recommend using the user stories as a guide - just start on the first one and meet it and work your way down the list. After you’re done, you can add some CSS to spruce it up.

Just give it a try. Try to get started. If you get stuck, do some googling. If that doesn’t work, check back here. But the more specific the question, the better the answer is going to be.

There are also youtube videos out there of people actually setting up these projects. I might suggest taking a look. You can always turn it off after they do the initial setup.
