Wed 31st July 2019 Collected Metro newspaper/Stayed in...practised building web pages using: CSS/CSS3

I woke up...I can't even remember when...?

I'm actually writing this post on Thursday morning...; when the actual events happened to me just, yesterday, Wednesday.

What I do remember is going down the road to get a Free Metro newspaper from West Norwood train station.

Then, I must have come back in; and, slept.

When I awoke it was already evening...; and, I moved over to the computer to go and...

- complete doing a few job searches online

- then, moved on to studying learning CSS/CSS3 web page building techniques...by using a mixture of various different sources.

On the computer I've remained until, now...when it's very early Thursday morning: 01:51 AM.

...Yesterday, Wednesday I started off by building this simple 3 page web site. In the above example, I tried to create 3 buttons...used to switch between each web page. Also, I'm using: text-shadow...which creates reflective shadow effects beneath web page text.

Example code:

h1{text-shadow: 5px 5px 5px black;}

Currently, I'm still working away at building this single web page...

This last example uses something called a: linear-gradient...where you can either specify 2 or more colours to achieve a multi-coloured gradient with.

Example code:

h1{background:linear-gradient(blue,aqua);}

It's amazing how simple the use of CSS3 rules can be, sometimes; I mean, all you need to learn really is just 'one' single line; and, basically, that's it...done!

CONCLUSION

But, of course, there is still the problem of creating a whole entire web page: writing content which appeals to visitors...as well as, having to go pay attention to it's overall design...should things be aligned: left/right/centre; which is the best -or, most appropriate- font to use; or, in the case of building a web site..how to organise code...into separate folders/selecting which particular web page development technologies to use...and, which to leave out...should I just use plain vanilla Javascript/or else, one of it's flavours: JQuery/or, VueJS/or, NodeJS, possibly? Then, there is testing links/and, re-writing/re-designing/having to go upload stuff to check it works properly on the internet...as well as, offline/use of meta tags/and, UI responsiveness...can the page be viewed well at any size/-etc.

In short, web development: writing/designing/testing code...ain't always easy. If it was; then, everybody in the whole wide world would be doing it. You need to have loads of patience...be ready to prepare plans in advance...and, then, later on, have those plans, constantly, 'change'.  I don't think the job of being a web developer is ever truly done...; as there is always more to add, later/or, suddenly, one discovers bugs here and there...which will all need to be 'fixed'.

I'm not a web developer, myself...; just merely an 'amateur'...who plays around at discovering learning a few of the 'basics'.
