Spent a little timing playing around with each of them.</p> <p>I also built a basic HTML page with CSS for my son. Let him pick pages the build, the topics, colors, etc. Great experience. This was very very cool.</p>

The primary focus was animation and other “advanced” features. I’m actually pretty amazed at what you can do with CSS now. Now I have to refrain from animating everything</p> <h3 id="related-but-not-code">Related but not code:</h3> <p>Setup GitHub Pages Setup this sweet Jekyll blog Setup some websites in Azure, DNS, Certs, and some CI/CD pipelines in Azure Dev Ops</p> <h3 id="really-not-related-to-code-but-fun-tech">Really not related to code but fun tech:</h3> <p>Setup a customer on Office 365 for Email with a custom domain.</p>

I had learned HTML and basic CSS many years ago, picked up some ASP.NET along the way and some Powershell skills. A few years ago I picked up on coding more heavily and jumped into the deep end with JavaScript, primarily focused on Angular. I picked up some NodeJS (ExpressJS), DotNet Core (WebAPI) skills but my work was pretty basic. I realized that I couldn’t effectively create visually appealing sites that with some frameworks, UI or otherwise.</p> <p>As this is my passion and something I look to do permantently, I decided that the #100DaysOfCoding challenge would be a good tool to focus my efforts. It can’t hurt to force the social aspects of the challenge as well. So during this challenge, I’ll be focusing on the basics a lot of HTML and CSS. A lot of that will be going through FreeCodeCamp modules and PluralSight courses.</p> <h1 id="day-1">Day 1</h1> <p>Got back online with FreeCodeCamp and plowed through a bunch of modules.</p>
