Devlog #3

I have started to fill in some more information about myself in the webpage. The plan is that I will first constuct the HTML layout and fill in all of the sections. Because I am still a high student, my portfolio will look a bit different because I am not actually advertising a service or anything like that. The order that I am planning to go in is the following:

Hero
About Me (along with skills)
Projects
Experience
Achievements/Awards
Contact

Current Progress

Right now I have constructed each of the sections in HTML. I am using the section tag to separate each of the parts that I just described above so that I can link them using a navbar, though I have not created anything for a navbar yet. One thing that confused me for a while was the difference between section and div tags. After some research, I realized that section actually separates the parts in the HTML file, while the div just like adds an invisible containor around the parts and doesn’t actually effect the HTMl at all. It just like groups them together. The section tag is great for the navbar. I am using the div tag for like sub sections, like for an individual project within the Projects section. This will help later with design as I am planning to make like each project a card on the screen. That brings me to my next thing. Right now I have filled in around 3 projects that I have made. The biggest hurdle was that not all of them were on Github, so I had to go back into my files and like refresh by brain on those past projects. I wanted to have links to projects in the website, so some of my past projects, I had to spend like an hour or two just trying to upload those and get the repositories set. I have attched 3 projects so far. I will probably add more, but for now I think I will move on

Next Steps

Next, I am going to start filling in some of the other sections, like the About Me section. I am still thinking on how to display the Experience section, but I will start filling in that section too. I will also begin to organize like the subsections for each section and begin to build a navbar. By the end of the week, I hope to have like a basic HTML structure with all of the sections roughly filled in, and then I will move onto CSS. I think the biggest challenge will be to organize everything neatly for experiences and achievements. But otherwise I am looking forward to start filling those in.
