CSS day!!!! I <3 CSS! So it was a good day. It's just so satisfying laying out a site finally in class! It's like stretching out after being cooped up. Think my partner and I made good progress on our version of the "App Academy Friends" site; the only part of the project we didn't get to was Phase 12: Modal. (Apparently "modal" is the sign-in pop up you get on pages? Not sure. Up until this point I had associated it with a synthetic fabric.) Really got to make good use of some of the "new" (well, new to me anyway; I remember way back when opacity wasn't widely supported) CSS3 properties and functions, like border-radius and transform. Our site is child-safe! Everything is all rounded corners now! I will say that personally, my style would have differed from the instructions a wee bit--using fewer classes and more general selectors and ids (a "footer" class for "footer" tag seems a little redundant, doesn't it? And anyway, shouldn't it be a "footer" id? How many big footers do you plan on having on a page at once?), but all in all, was a fun exercise. Tomorrow we get to do jquery, which is more the js I'm used to seeing (event handlers and action events!), so hopefully it comes more naturally that js has so far!
