I'm an aspiring entrepreneur about 3 weeks into teaching myself how to code in order to build a MVP of a product I've fully mocked up in Illustrator and see a huge need for. This idea came to me when learning about the :hover psuedo class in CSS. I basically just created a bunch of divs for each "pixel" element with a height/width of 25px, transparent background, and absolute positioning %, then added a :hover class for each div with the background image url, height, and width defined.
I figure this will make for a cool "sandbox" as I continue to learn new aspects of programming. I haven't yet reached actual _programming_ (just HTML and CSS), but will be diving into Javascript soon and look forward to messing around with it some more.
Anyway, I welcome your comments and suggestions for resources that may help me as I learn to code. I know the site is bush league (the title is intentional btw) but even a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Plus, hopefully it will put a smile the on the faces of a few Star Wars fans :)
- DTrejo 16y agoIf you decide to learn JS and want to do anything server side, try installing node[1] and stopping into the #node.js[2] irc channel!
