Free Code Camp update 5/5/2020

I am still working through the CSS module on the Free Code Camp responsive web design course.

Today, 5th May, I completed the activities around adding margin and padding. I will carry on with this over the next few weeks.

SignIn tips

If you're looking at using repl.it and or FreeCodeCamp ( FCC ), the you have the option to use your github credentials to signin.

FreeCodeCamp

signin

With FCC your user account appears to be bound to your e-mail address. Therefore, if you use github to sign in,it will bind your account to the e-mail address you used to sign up to github, so change one you need to change both to maintain your progress being saved properly.

If you use your e-mail to sign in to FCC then you get sent a one time pin number each time, which can provide problematic if you then have issues accessing your e-mail. So it may be easier to just use github to sign in, having github accounts also has other advantages.

Repl.it

signin

Using Github to sign in to Repl.it also gives you the feature to save your projects to / from your github repository, which should make collaboration easier.

Gist

signin

Another feature of Github is gist, so again this is ideal for sharing code blocks and getting help for example.

Further to my previous post on Feb 9th. I am now progressing nicely through, the CSS module of the course.

Resources

Sign up is free, and there is lots of help on the Forums. You can also use websites such as Repl.it further develop any projects. Code can be copied from FCC to Repl.it for personalised editing. Why have a CatApp when you can have other subjects.

This would also complement your learning.

Code club today was very productive, we had 8 young people attending all of whom were engaged in either Scratch or the Free Code Camp (FCC) curriculum.

We have now moved on to CSS, and we had one attendee starting with HTML. So in all, this course is actually proving to be popular.

Certificates have been awarded for the completion of the HTML module.

Good to see Ryan again and he lent his expertise too.

Next week is the South Devon Tech Jam – (14/3/2020) from 11 till 15:00. The week after we are back to code club (21/3/2020)

Hopefully, I will have figured out, why, when I log in to FCC at the library, it doesn't show my progress. Not that it matters too much.

Free Code Camp and Repl.it

As we are working through the FreeCodeCamp (FCC) Responsive Web Design course at Code Club. I decided to investigate, if the code developed in FCC could be pasted directly into a project on the Repl,it website.

It appears the answer is yes, as the screen below demonstrates.

fcc-repl

This is really useful, especially as the image also displays. This allows learners to develop projects directly from what they are learning with FCC.

One of the final exercises for this HTML component sets up a very basic webpage with the various tags in the right place.


<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <title>The best page ever</title>
</head>
<body>
  <h1>The best page ever</h1>
  <p>Cat ipsum dolor sit amet, jump launch to pounce upon little yarn mouse, bare fangs at toy run hide in litter box until </p>
</body>
</html>

Free Code Camp – Progress 1

I have been working through the first part of the FreeCodeCamp responsive web design course and have now completed all 28 exercises for the HTML part of the course.

I will also be working on this at Code Club, the South Devon Tech Jam and supporting other learners who are undertaking this course at the above events.

This is proving popular, with those who are undertaking this course and a great way to learn essential IT / Computing skills.

I am now going to start on the CSS section of the course. As this will help me support the learners as they move up to this.
