Beginner
HTML and CSS
First of all, I needed to see tutorials to know what were HTML and CSS codes. I found one very well done (here) but only in Italian language, unfortunately my English is not so technical. I read guides both for HTML and for CSS on that website, then I tested my knowledge (and my English!) on another site: CodeAcademy.
I received a template part by my instructor Stefano Paradiso and I relied on that to customize my site. I found some initial problems but now I'm able to edit pages without errors.
Advice: use Atom to fill in the template, through the colors changes are simpler!
SSH KEY
The first problem faced was authentication ssh key in windows ( my companions on Mac had no problems).
The first attempt has been the use of a simple tool , Puttygen , but it did't work.
I managed instead through these controls recommended by my instructor Stefano Paradiso:
GIT
I opened Git Bash, went to my folder ../students/429 in the repository, and then:
Advice: Don't be scared by the first difficulties, after little use everything will be simple!
This is my first project Gantt : I have not understood the usefulness at all, I'm a beginner and I have no idea of the timing of the steps in my project: 2 weeks to project an important piece are correct? Too little? Too much? I will be able to respect this timing?
Anyway, I used a simple tool, GanttProject, to organize the work, and this is the result:
REVIEW
At the last week of Fab Academy I came back to this page, and now I can confirm my mind: Gantt is not so helpful.
At the third week, I already changed all the steps written on Gantt, because thinking and making may be very different, especially if you have to learn the process.
For this reason, my conclusion is: don't spend much time on Gantt if you are a beginner and you don't know timing of processes.
