Not too long ago, I finished an introduction course to a programming language called Ruby. I made a bunch of cool applications, all of which can only be used on my computer. I haven’t posted in a while because there wasn’t really anything I could post. If you were here, you could see…

A hangman game with tens of thousands of answers. A numerology calculator that takes your birthdate, gives you your number and your “horoscope”. A recipe suggester for when you want to try something new. A bingo card generator. A very simple chatbot, and many other little projects to learn programming in Ruby.

To get these projects on the web, I need to learn Rails. It’s what they call Ruby on Rails. What’s crazy, is that the Rails course was gone from the curriculum when I finished the Ruby course. Apparently it’s not as in demand as it used to be 6 months ago, so they took it off the program! The instructors did give me access to the classes, so I can take them if I want, which I probably will eventually.

So, with some possible website clients in the near future, I decided to do an advanced CSS course, which is all about styling responsive websites. I have some pretty sites to share that demonstrate some cool ways to layout sites for different screen sizes. If you look at them on a desktop, and shrink the screen, you can see how the layout changes. https://ianmcdavid.github.io/HometownNews/ https://ianmcdavid.github.io/tuliptown/
