I originally learned HTML about a year ago when I wanted to take coding to the next step. From that point, the only "language" I knew was Scratch, And it wasn't really cutting it anymore. That's when I went onto w3schools and began to learn HTML.
I learned css because I wanted to take my websites to the next level, and what beter way than with css. It was first slightly confusing but got easier the more I practiced. I never understood why poeple hated css, because once I got the hang of it I loved it.
Coding in HTML and CSS was cool enough for me, but I wanted to learn a real language; one that was easy to learn yet functional for any use. That's when I began learning Python. I loved the syntax and the simplicity. It was easy to set up a python REPL and then just code. I used the lanuggae for a veryt long time before learning Javascript and React.
Javascript was obviously the next step in adding functionality to my pretty barebones websites at the time. I first began using it for frontend projects before learning how to use Node.JS and electron. Javascript used to be my #1 most hated language before I tried it and got good. Now I love the syntax and almost everything about it!
Since I was getting so good at Javascript fullstack, I had to learn a frontend framework so I could take my web development to the next level. I decided on react because of it's stature in frontend framework. I really love the syntax and how easy it is to import to any Node.js project. I would have probably even built this website on react if github pages wasn't a static only hosting program.
CSS is a great lanuage, don't get me wrong, but sometimes it feels almost lacking. That's why I picked up sass. I learned it because it was just css but just better in general. I was working on a project that would require sass so thats kinda why I picked it up, but now I can't live without sass. Every project always needs sass. Did you know even this website is built using sass? To say the least, I love sass.
Velocity is an advanced css framework built in sass, a well known language for taking css to another level by adding functionality to lacking css. The idea behind velocity was to create a framework that could completly negate the use of css while keeping a clean a concise naming scheme to all it's many classes.
Todura is an advanced todo app built entirly in Javascript using Electron and React to truly bring this project to life. In this, you can apply custom themes, make and manage tasks, ect. It is one of my first projects using Electron but was really fun to make.
