A few month ago, I started studying Web Development via a free online course called The Odin Project. I’m currently at 45% completion of the Foundations course which covers the basics in the following areas:
Introduction (presentation of the course / Intro to Web Development / Motivation and mindset / asking for help / Odin community)

Project: Rock Paper Scissors / Clean Code / Installing Node.js / Fundamentals Part 4 / DOM Manipulation and Events / Revisiting Rock Paper Scissors / Project: Etch-a-Sketch / Fundamentals Part 5 / Project: Calculator)
Conclusion (Choose Your Path Forward: Full-Stack Javascript or Full-Stack Ruby on Rails)
I have completed the “Recipes” Project in the HTML Foundations section. In this project, we are asked to build a basic recipe website. It consists of a main index page which has links to three recipes, with their description, ingredients needed and the steps to follow. You can access my github to see my repository, codes and commits or access directly the HTML Website I created . :)
Nothing flashy for now, but the goal is to focus on the structure, on building the Website. Now on to the CSS Foundations section. CSS makes that structure look good with some style.
See you next time!
