Days 16 and 17 of #100DaysOfCode

Learning about associated arrays in PHP, and trying to keep straight all of the differences between it and JavaScript.
Added an animated svg menu button, and changed out the photos on my react music site

Day 15 of #100DaysOfCode

More of the same php basics and putzing around with my react music site. It seriously feels like there’s endless design tweaking and code refactoring needed to get this site presentable!

Day 14 of #100DaysOfCode

I practiced some PHP fundamentals (simple functions, data types, variables) today, and I made the images on my music site drop opacity on hover. Tomorrow I’ve got lots of free time to code, so I’m looking forward to a productive day!

Day 13 of #100DaysOfCode

Decided not to keep learning Wordpress, but will keep learning #PHP
Fixed some layout and scrolling issues on my music site, and took a video #react #webdeveloper #CodeNewbie

[Michael Weber @IAmMichaelWeber]

—Day 12—

Inching along on my music site slowly but surely:
-The timed image slider is functional
-Started replacing divs with more semantically correct tags
-Discovered that using flexbox or grid on containers makes “overflow: scroll” stop working 🤔

—Day 11—

Started a timed image slider in #React for my music portfolio. Didn’t get much done, pretty much just imported images and wrote some boilerplate code. With a few birthdays to celebrate plus the 4th of July, so this week wasn’t too productive

I also spent some more time going through Wordpress tutorials. If I’m already making stuff with React, is it really worth it??? #100DaysOfCode #CodeNewbie

—Days 9 & 10—

4th of July kept me from posting last night so I’m combining two days: I did some more tweaking on my music portfolio. At this point I really need to get rid of the stock images I’ve been using and get real content in there #100DaysOfCode #CodeNewbie

@estellevw But she’s one of the few characters I still like in this season!

User Interface vs The Underlying Code #programming

—Day 8—

I didn’t accomplish too much today, just spent more time playing with animations on my music portfolio. Still, something is better than nothing!

@josevfon Yeah, I definitely see coding as being just as creative as writing music. Coding is about solving problems, and music is about expressing a feeling/emotion, but both use creative problem solving to get to your desired result.

—Day 7—

As a music composer there have been plenty of times where I spend the entire day struggling to write parts, and in the end I scrap all of it 😢 Today was one of those days for coding.

[Michael Weber @IAmMichaelWeber]

So I went back to using <Spring>’s to fade in the opacity, nice and simple, and I think I like it
#ReactJS #100DaysOfCode #CodeNewbie

[Michael Weber @IAmMichaelWeber]

Tried the <Spring>’s in react-spring, didn’t like them. Spent HOURS figuring out how to get the <Transition>’s to work with the way I coded my site, and once I finally got it figured out I didn’t like the way they were working either.

—Day 6—

Today I got the audio player for my music site all coded up. It’s not pretty, but it plays audio 😀

[Michael Weber @IAmMichaelWeber]

@estellevw ...that “It’s gonna be one of THOSE days” feelings.

I know them well

[Michael Weber @IAmMichaelWeber]

—Day 5—

I’m making a new portfolio site for my music composing, and today I “flexed” my “grid” skills (see what I did there?) making the layout. I’ll post screenshots soon. #100DaysOfCode #CodeNewbie

[Michael Weber @IAmMichaelWeber]

@DanielHoppener I’ll keep you posted as I dip me feet further into it!

[Michael Weber @IAmMichaelWeber]

Today’s #100DaysOfCode adventure was all about Wordpress theme development. It’s an ecosystem that I have zero experience in, and I’ve always been curious about it.
