Hi everyone, my name is Brandon. I just wanted to say that I’ve never in my lifetime seen so many great resources to educate people for future employment. These resources are free. There are people that pay a lot of money to learn how to code. I don’t pay a dime and I’ve learned so much. The only thing it cost me is time and dedication. When I get far enough along and I get to see my project come to life I’ll be very excited to be able to give back to the community that gave me so much. Shout out Dave Gray, that guy has the best YouTube videos out there. I bounced back and forth between Dave gray and free code camp. I watched Dave gray and then I go and do my lessons. It really helps. We also got the mdn that you can go to and look at there is different subjects. You can learn a lot on that platform. You got it free tools to help you check for accessibility with color contrast. You have free tools that will help you find the colors that you want to find. Dave gray actually explained it pretty good, how all that works. You got Google that does hybrid blend of charging people for some stuff but providing other things for free. It seems like they just charge for the fancy things. But if you want to learn about fonts they have a whole section to teach you all you want to learn about fonts. As I’m learning I’m developing a platform on the side just for fun. It’s good to get a rhythm and to get a set way of doing things. I’ll begin and tear it down again and tear it down. Now I’m to the point where I can go and do my research pre-production. Find what fonts I want what colors I’ll use jot everything down on a notebook I know where to get it. Next thing you know I’m doing the HTML and when I need to do a font implementation I go to my notes I see the names of the fonts I want to use I go to Google copy them paste them I’m good to go. I can look up the color spectrums I picked when I get to the CSS. It makes the motion flow better. Me personally my work suffers when I stop and go stop and go so if I can minimize the stop and Go then even if it’s a slow flow it’s still a steady Pace forward. And when I got myself to that level of work with learning to code it felt really good on me. Because I would get stressed out and stuck on something for 3 hours and sometimes even 3 days. And I would lose a lot of time I felt. Can’t be too hard on yourself you just got to figure it out. Try different things and try to work it to where it’s just a steady Pace forward. Utilize the tools and the resources and appreciate the good people that are taking the time to help us out. I hope that what I said can help somebody if anybody at all, and I hope you all have a good weekend. I have to get back to work.
