Check it out CSS

So I fixed the color of the web page but now I am having trouble with formatting, like I can't seem to prevent some links from being a list and I don't know if the problem is with my CSS or something else. I also want to fill in some of the white spaces with color. For the most part I am fine with the color but I think I could work on it a bit. Anyway, like I said, if I could fix the formatting it would look much better.

Check it out CSS

There were a few problems before I could start editing the page but once that was out of the way I could start to mess around with the look of the website. It was looking pretty good at the start but then it managed to turn out uglier so I'm going to have to make a lot of changes. I think a better background color would help a lot because right now it's hard to look at.

Starting to work on check it out

Let me just say that Chris was a huge help for getting me started. I have no idea how to use git hub, Ubuntu, etc nearly as well as him but he helped a lot with that. I can now start working on adding some CSS to check it out and I'm trying to figure out what kind of color pallete to work with. This is the current look of the web pages, by the way. I don't think they currently look too awful but I'll try to improve it and I'll post pictures when I finish. Also, if I had to grade code academy's curriculum I think I would give it a B because it's certainly not perfect but it's still good and I definitely learned something.

 

Stuff

On Wednesday and Thursday I was mainly just watching Alex, he told me about his project and what he is working with. He taught me a couple things about XML and I was able to help a little while he was coding with python.

SQL

On Tuesday I helped Masud with SQL. I think he now knows how to operate some commands better and he practiced with creating and inserting data.

Code Academy

I didn't do much on Monday for reasons but here are my thoughts on code academy. Keep in mind that I knew a little python to begin with and I am only 50% complete with the course but at first the lesson was pretty slow and at some points it was pretty quick but that isn't a very big problem. It's nice how it has background on every problem and it gives real world examples. Probably the best thing about it is that it's interesting because it's really hard to learn something that's boring to read.

Code Academy

I continued with my Python and it has been more practice with dictionaries and loops which is good I think because I need it. I now better understand how to use for loops when applied to lists and dictionaries, there was one problem that I thought was challenging where I had to loop through a grocery list and decrease the stock by one. Anyways, I was a little confused on how to loop through a dictionary or list but I get it fairly well now. Also, I will work on check it out tomorrow because I was feeling sort of lazy after break.
