NodeJS Progress Update (October 2nd, 2023)

I ran into a few snags, but for the most part I have everything for the main site in place on the development subdomain. The express server code performs MySQL queries just fine and everything. There are little changes I’ll need to make like getting all the images into place and getting their names into… Continue reading NodeJS Progress Update (October 2nd, 2023)

Quick Migration Update

Over this past weekend I binged John Wick Chapters 1-4, and I’m kind of proud of myself. I feel like whenever I talk about myself people tend to miss what I’m actually sharing, and jump straight to positivity. Learning how to program the way I did is ridiculously difficult, and I’ve missed out on a… Continue reading Quick Migration Update

New API Structure and Devlog Layout

I have been slacking on progress over the past week or so, but I am happy to share where my site is at now. As my friend put it, “You need to remember there are a lot of people in the world, and shocker that means you’ll come across people from time to time who… Continue reading New API Structure and Devlog Layout

Currently my app can run several queries based specifically on the desired programming language, and render the relevant projects. I think the… Continue reading NodeJS Portfolio Page Update

Six Sigma for Website Design

In the past I mentioned if I were to ever make a big change I would use Six Sigma. Well, let’s be honest with ourselves for a moment. What I’ve done with JavaScript is very neat, but with each post it’s going to get larger. The problem is that eventually the script would become too… Continue reading Six Sigma for Website Design

Updated Portfolio Page for Mobile Users

Once again another project that was a lot easier than I anticipated. The HTML and CSS portion was easy because it is easy to hide elements based on screen size. Typically you just create a “hide-mobile” ID, set its display type to none, and encapsulate you want hidden on mobile within the id. You can… Continue reading Updated Portfolio Page for Mobile Users

Update for Resources Page

This script to update my resources page is rolling out a lot more quickly than I had anticipated. The script also incorporates JSON style arrays alongside class objects, which is not what I had initially anticipated. However, since the new resource page has no clickable links I do not need to perform any sort of… Continue reading Update for Resources Page

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
