Yeah I got it 😆! I have been dreaming of online learning certificates, like coursera and linkedin, for a long time. Coursera’s free plan is a week, while linkedin’s is a month so I chose the latter.
(Note that for Chinese mainland users, you must change your location to Non-mainland China in your account settings to get a monthly free plan. Also you must use a Visa credit card.)
Nice course
Short, less than 2 hours, which is very newbie-friendly.
Practical! The author introduced many useful websites for learning and developing.
What I have learned
Types of web development jobs
For planning and prototyping:
- UX (User Experience)
- UI (User Interface)
For coding and developing:
- Front-end Dev (Javascript, CSS, HTML; frameworks)
- Back-end Dev
Javascript, CSS, HTML
- HTML identifies structural elements.
- CSS changes the appearance and style.
- JS handles the interactivity, like moving and animation.
A little knowledge of Github
That’s beyond my expectation, and just what I need! Looks like Github Pages Service is a good (means free) start for small and simple web dev. I’ll hands on it lately.
No-code
It’s a fresh new concept to me. Sounds interesting that you can develop a web without coding. But maybe the price is, the real cost – money? But it’s limited, especially when you know more and get greedy :p
