I’ve been saying that a JavaScript framework would be overkill, so I am writing patchwork code. I actually realized that’s not all that necessary in JavaScript. As I’ve said before JavaScript supports OOP classes, which makes it easy to associate data types with one another. It’s also super nice because it means I can handle… Continue reading Bespoke Java Framework
Responsive Design vs Dynamic Design
If you are new to front-end development you may be unaware that responsive design and dynamic design are two different concepts. It can be frustrating because in English the terms are largely synonymous with one another. However, in the front-end space the words mean two completely different things. The relationship is that every good website… Continue reading Responsive Design vs Dynamic Design
Dynamic Portfolio Update
It turns out improving the layout of the portfolio took a lot less effort than I expected. As a result, I rolled out the update sooner than I expected. Some of the challenges I faced were with rendering CSS properly, and figuring out how to keep all of the projects aligned properly. If you look… Continue reading Dynamic Portfolio Update
Streamlined Portfolio Design
Currently this website utilizes solely vanilla HTML and CSS, but over the next few days that will change. I have been playing around with an idea in vanilla JavaScript that now seems to work. The trick seemed to be to use class objects yet again. What I am doing is combining the text for the… Continue reading Streamlined Portfolio Design
Personal Health ‘n Stuff
Since I’m trying to post daily I figured I’d go ahead and give some updates on life. First things first, a year ago I had a stroke due to abnormally sticky blood and a flap in my heart. I had some issues with scheduling and communication with several doctors. One of them ended up prematurely… Continue reading Personal Health ‘n Stuff
Object Orientated Python Editor Update
My last post I had used a data structure to handle the words and their counts, but sorting that structure was messy. I played around with a few songs from a few major artists and bands, and found their song was typically between 374 and 601 words long. The few I dove deeper into generally… Continue reading Object Orientated Python Editor Update
Six Sigma and Website Rollouts
My website’s redesign and this entire plan I have hatched came out of nearly nowhere. Honestly, it also ignored all the Six Sigma processes I studied over the course of a few months to get my black belt. I enacted the plan as a distraction out of a place of pain. I cannot go back… Continue reading Six Sigma and Website Rollouts
Python Editor Update
For the most part I am happy with the videos and everything published so far. I got to work on refactoring the Python Word Editor, and I made a lot of positive progress nearly instantly. One thing I did differently was that I now work with a single array for reading the text instead of… Continue reading Python Editor Update
Connecting This Blog and Creating Videos
So this is my first update of what I’m doing to this site, and you may notice every page links to this blog. I also created a video for my Python Word Editor, but I intend to combine that one and the PDF generator at some point. I mostly broke it up like that to… Continue reading Connecting This Blog and Creating Videos
Introduction
When I first made this website two years ago it was meant to build a community as a content creator. However, I know from my teenage years that is not my passion, and I turned the old blog into a makeshift portfolio instead. This blog will serve as a compliment to that portfolio by giving… Continue reading Introduction
