learning to code hasn't been easy it takes a lot of hardwork, determination, consistency to pull it off but its also fun learning and I am so excited to get really great at it.
My first ever projects
This was the first project I made after learning the basic of html like html links, html images, html headings, and some inline css styling like background color, border, text color.
I then went further to learn more inline styling properties and values and also some more html like html lists, html tag attributes, html form and html button.
After weeks of learning
At this point I had memorized almost all the html tags and a lot of simple css properties.
I had just learnt html tables and a few more css properties so I decided to explore and use my imagination to build a webpage and I added a navigation to it.
looks pretty nice given my knowledge then I think I showed signs of good creativity on the design front given I had no knowledge of design at all and I was basically trying out all the css properties I knew.
I also decided to try to make a log-in page and it wasn't hard to make at this point although I know I broke a ton of design rules but again I think I showed some brilliance on the design front given the knowledge I had then.
Went on to learn how to make layouts with css
Learning css layouts
First with floats
Then css flexbox
Then css Grid
Then I learnt a little bit about design and user interface
I built this web page for learning from the little knowledge of design I had with rules like typography, visual hierarchy and so on.
I went on to learn more components of a landing page like :
Accorrdion
carousel
Tables
I made this with html tables and css grid to challenge myself
pagination
and finally
Hero section
I dabbled a little bit in Javascript here are some of the projects.
people counter app
Calculator

It is important to celebrate progress however little and follow your own timeline and not some unrealistic claims on the internet.
I had some help with personal tutoring and from Jonas schmedtmann courses on udemy.
Thanks for reading I wish you Goodluck as you continue to learn**
