We have a wide range of skills from the brand new to the decades of experience. It's been a lot of fun.
what'd I miss?
@Tavorodz Welcome to freecodecamp! I've been working as a programmer for about 2.5 years. What got you interested in learning to code?
I've dabbled in design and development off and on for years, so I have some experience, but not in a professional setting. And despite having a degree and having done some graduate work it's all in an unrelated field, so trying to get my foot in the door somewhere has been a challenge.
Not speaking from personal experience but from what I've heard from others, making projects for whatever reason can really help with that.
I have two problems i dont understand grid systems even after reading about it and I do not know where to put this slide show code that jason made.
The slide show code has java script and html and csss in it
I need to put into my style guide
javascript goes in a somenamehere.js file and the css would go into your css file with the rest.
looking for a quick write up on that now cuz i'm too lazy to do it xD
<script type="text/javascript" src="somenamehere.js"></script>
where you put that in the file matters. But I don't know the code Jason did so I would probably put it at the very bottom of the page just before the
</body></html> but i can't find a write up quick enough to explains the whys.
if I remember correctly it depends on the scope you want your variables to have to some extent
try it and see if it works. it's hard to say without having the time to dig into the code.
@lantech19446 it's due to load order in the DOM. end is safer as everything in the DOM has loaded. But... the page may draw on the screen before the js does its thing which can do weird things depending.
like, if the script says
make div #blah blue and div #blah hasn't loaded yet, then the script will do nothing even once the div is loaded in memory.
and it's sleeting again
I cant figure out why the slide show wont work
because your source is pulling from a local image where no local storage exists, in other words cat01.jpg means nothing to my computer it would need to be src="webaddress.com
@JBC944 you would want it to be something like
<img class="slide" src="https://github.com/lantech19446/mypictures/blob/master/1024px-Reddit.svg.png?raw=true"
oh @JBC944 I see how jason did the code. Did he give it to you so that it all was supposed to be in the header in script tags?
Hi guys, I'm new here. My name is Katya. I just joined and about to watch the welcome video
Okay I guess, got a little wet running from my car to Chick-a-filla where I am now :/
Stupid rain
@JBC944 what Jon said. Fixing the URLs of the images to filename that open and it will work. http://s.codepen.io/lilyheart/debug/zojNay Maybe you have your cat images inside a folder? If so, make sure you update the file name references.
@lantech19446 it was sleeting in East Norriton like 10 mins ago. I was pelted coming into the house!
yea I could hear it at the library, I have a glass pyramid near my desk lol
I love your name @KatyaRobinson I've only ever met a katya in Iceland
it's not anymore
So, ya'll might know. This week is the Hour of Code week! If you want something silly do there are lot of of choices here https://hourofcode.com/us/learn
However, the link I posted on Facebook today is probably my fav! http://hello.processing.org/ [tagging @KR62 even though I already tagged her on Facebook cuz this looks right up her alley]
That will take you to the meetup page.
very nice, and I saw that you're in Philly, Northeast?\
I really need to do some sort of project, just don't know what. I'm so indecisive anymore
Yeah, but I just moved here a couple of months ago so I'm still getting familiar with the area. I just looked up - your library meetup location is kind of close to my work so I might stop by after I get off
Awesome! Just a heads up that we are looking for another meetup space as the library tends to have wifi issues which can make things a struggle.
Side note: don't go to Chick-a-filla, I'm struggling here with internet connection...
Where did you move here from? I only guessed Northeast because there's where all the Polish and Ukranian communities are too lol I'm originally from just outside of Chestnut Hill which is North West philly
I was going to ask jason today but he barely helps me in lab time
and I tried emailing him the question and he hasnt replied back yet
Guessing on what Jimmy? Oh, where to put the code? Putting it in the somename.js file and linking in a script tag is the best practices way.
They have to do something about these notification balloons lol I'm still getting notifications for messages like 10 minutes ago
@lantech19446 haha it was actually just a coincidence! I moved there from a beach town in Delaware after living there for 8 long years. The plan is to move closer to the Center City, hopefully next year
@JBC944 click this button to change your notification setting.
I suggest the "Announcements" level so you don't miss any messages that have you tagged.
sounds like fun, my sister in-law used to live right on south broad street in some beautiful apartments called 777 south broad. Just don't ever move to Havertown they're the crazy Russians down there, beautiful town beautiful houses but holy crap.
@KatyaRobinson what is your goal to learn? Web development? Front End? Full Stack?
haha crazy Russians is one of the reasons I left Russia in the first place
my exes parents are brilliant but definitely fit that category he's an award winning microbotanist she discovered a flower in some uncharted mountain in siberia and they both ran from the communists. Produced a daughter with no pain receptors who drank salvia tea every chance she got and was a master pianist before she was 13 all of them lived in havertown all of them absolutely insane.
@Lilyheart right now I'm concentrating on Front End but my ultimate goal is Full Stack. I've been learning JavaScript for the past few months, mostly following tutorials and going through the FreeCodeCamp curriculum
tag me if you need anything, I'm soldering not too far away from my computer
half way through this soldering project and completely regretting it
@davidjcastner you can come solder my sensors when you are done with that xD
They really do drive me nuts but for 35 an hour I just grin and wait for the day I can tell them their cisco router is dead and will take 3-5 weeks to ship a replacement
I used to be a people person but people ruined it for me. Now I'm thinking I'd prefer to go back end I have no experience with it and i realize I'd still have to deal with people but at least when the database gets messed up and my boss asks what's wrong I can tell him it's fucked in the back end
yes, I got into admin right as the economy crashed and it seems changing my focus will be the only way to stay in IT and catch up with modern salary requirements
On man I gotta hop off. Chick-a-filla has filled up and people are giving me dirty looks. I'll drive home and check if anybody's still here. Is this chat on-going or will it end at 8??
Party never stops! :fireworks:
5-8 is just a dedicated time for people who want a dedicated weekly time to practice coding.
everyone is so quiet now it's like being in a library
gotta order food cuz I ain't cookin' Too much school work.
lulz. I'm not sure David would want my soldering skills :) I've done that tree... and that's about it.
except for soldering a bunch of resisters to a perf board for practice. Then my roommate used it and apparently my iron is shit and haven't gotten a new one so who knows if i'd be good at it or not.
Well, I make metal jewerly, so I guess with practice i'd be fine xD but ya know xD
i started off poorly but my connections are getting much better as you move along the strands
If you use chrome
chrome://site-engagement/ is a very interesting page.
Given it's getting to be the end of a semester, I'm not all that surprised by mine.
Although i thought stack overflow would be higher (didn't even make the 50pts and higher... it's at 14.7 :O )
I'd guess part of it is because I store my history with google and that's my choice. All sorts of things you can opt out of and opt in of.
I'm to lazy for all of it but the stories it would tell lol
I run a few instances of chrome for different settings.
If anyone does use chrome/android, and is wondering what I meant by I get paid. Cross Media Panel Browser + Phone + Tablet = $3 a week = $156 a year. I also don't mind big data because I understand it and can control for the most part how it gets my data.
pouring again
or it left here. who knows. not paying attention.
