The fastest way to learn how to code

Taylor just reviewed my latest course on SkillShare: “I’ve been a fan of John’s content on YouTube, but this was the first course of his I’ve taken and I’m really happy I did! I was familiar with all of the technologies used, but I’m stuck in ‘tutorial purgatory.’ I’m confident that I can build things, but I’m not confident that I can deliver professional results to clients. This course was a great way to work on a real project and gain some confidence and experience. I will be going through John’s OOP course soon. I highly recommend this course to anyone

CSS transitions

CSS transitions are another simple thing you can do that can add some “spice” to your websites. Take this menu animation, for example: We build this in my latest SkillShare course and it not only “looks cool”, but it gives the user important visual feedback. These little things are how you start to make a website or application “feel” intuitive. Anyway, transition properties are pretty straight-forward: div { transition-property: width; transition-duration: 2s; transition-timing-function: linear; transition-delay: 1s; } Here’s what each property is: transition-property is the property of the element to transition. transition-duration is how long the transition will last transition-timing-function is the “effect”

Building a responsive grid with CSS Grid

If you haven’t messed with it, yet… CSS Grid is pretty handy. Take this HTML, for example: <div class=”wrapper”> <div class=”box”>1</div> <div class=”box”>2</div> <div class=”box”>3</div> </div> We can easily create a grid like this: .wrapper { display: grid; grid-template-columns: 100px 100px 100px; grid-gap: 10px; } That’ll give you a grid that looks something like this: And, you can do even more complex layouts like this: With just a few lines of code. Again, pretty handy. Anyway, one of the things I immediately wanted to do was build a Bootstrap-like grid system using CSS Grid. So, I did… and I put it

The One-Line Difference Between Ugly and Amazing Websites

Forget personal taste. I’m telling you as sure as I’m sitting here… whatever your personal thoughts about the differences between this before and after… one will get you, “Um well… something just feels off.” And, the other: “Wow! Clean, fresh. Amazing!” It’s just how people are. Anyway, here’s the before: And, here’s the after: This is a template I’m working on for a new course I’m doing. And, the difference is a single CSS declaration, but it’s light-years in terms of how it looks and how clients will react to it. The code? body, p, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5,

Sukh Plaha

John is a fantastic and patient tutor, who is not just able to share knowledge and communicate it very effectively – but able to support one in applying it. However, I believe that John has a very rare ability to go further than just imparting knowledge and showing one how to apply it. He is able to innately provoke one’s curiosity when explaining and demonstrating concepts, to the extent that one can explore and unravel their own learning journey. Thanks very much John!
