Dev Notes
Today's Class Learning
This course is exciting and I have learned a lot of new things and I am very happy with it. In the old days, websites were different and unique in their way of working and layout, and people used to share their stories, experiences and work worldwide in many ways. Many websites are of individuals, organizations and companies, their different color combinations, fonts and simplicity are also unique.
Class Assignment
Day 02 HTML, CSS & ME...
Today I learned HTML and CSS. HTML was simple but to understand CSS, I played a game in which I learned how and where all the CSS attributes, selectors, and values etc. are used and what is the outcome. The game was tricky but I enjoyed it a lot. It was very interesting and such activities were very helpful to learn.
Day 06 Making Grids
Today we explored CSS Grid in such a fun way through games and hands-on practice. At first, all those rows and columns felt confusing, but once we started playing around, it just clicked. It was like solving puzzles with code. Honestly, learning this way made layout design feel way less scary and way more exciting!
Today’s chat about Jen Simmons and who we’re designing for really got me thinking it felt meaningful, not just about the visuals. CSS Grid was way more fun than I expected. It’s not just boxes it’s creative! I loved how it connects to our typography stuff too. Building things slowly from scratch made it feel doable.
Day 07: Manifesto
**Honestly, it feels like there’s so much to do and so little time, but instead of stressing, I’m just picking the parts that feel most “me.” I’m not trying to make the most perfect website, but something that shows what I care about. I’m thinking of adding a section about the places I’ve travelled to not just because they’re pretty, but because every trip left me with some memory or feeling I want to hold on to. Same with historical places. I’ve always been curious about stories from the past, and putting them here feels like a way to collect the ones that moved me. Then there's music and dramas they’ve honestly been my comfort space. Songs I replay when I’m low, shows that felt like friends. I want to share them like little pieces of what shaped me. And of course, an “About Me” page, just to say hey, this is who I am no big explanation, just vibes. I noticed some blogs are super minimal and chill, and I liked that. Not everything needs to be loud. I might borrow that soft, personal vibe. In the end, maybe this doesn’t matter to the world, but it matters to me. It's a space that’s mine, and that feels like a good enough reason.

Day 11 Coding :)
**I finally started coding my personal website, and honestly, it feels both exciting and a little overwhelming. After planning and imagining it for so long, seeing it slowly come to life on the screen is such a cool feeling. I'm figuring things out as I go—experimenting with layouts, colors, fonts, and little hover effects that make it feel more me. There are definitely moments where I get stuck or frustrated, but I’m learning a lot in the process. It’s like building a digital version of myself, one line of code at a time.

Update !!!
_Right now, I’ve completed the structure and design of my homepage for my personal website. I'm working on building the structure for the other five pages about me, music I like, dramas I like, historical places, and travel diaries. I'm focusing first on getting the layout and flow right for all pages, and once the structure feels complete, I’ll add in the content and photos. I'm still deciding which photos to include, as I want them to reflect my personality and experiences in a meaningful way.
