Overview

Hi there, my name is Daniel Scott and together we’re going to learn how to build professional responsive websites. which look good on mobiles, tablets and desktop screens.

We will build 4 sites together...
  • a simple but elegant restaurant website.
  • a bike repair website. 
  • a responsive portfolio website.
  • a Bootstrap website.  

We cover everything you need to build your first website. From creating your first page through to uploading your website to the internet. We’ll use the world’s most popular (and free) web design tool called Visual Studio Code.

There are exercise files you can download and then work along with me. At the end of each video I have a downloadable version of where we are in the process so that you can compare your project with mine. This will enable you to see easily where you might have a problem.

We will delve into all the good stuff such as how to create your very own mobile burger menu from scratch learning some basic JavaScript and jQuery. 

 You will...
  • Learn how to work with responsive images and icons. and stunning full screen background images and probably one too many gradients. 
  • Learn how to create forms and to choose great fonts for your website. 
  • Learn how to work with Bootstrap 4 to easily add carousels, cards and complex looking menus. 
  • Setup a domain name with hosting so that your website is live on the internet for others to see.  

There are fun class projects for you to work on which will enable you to practice what you learn. By the end of this course you’ll have a great understanding of important web design topics like HTML5, CSS3, Flex box, Responsive design and Bootstrap.   

If that all sounds a little too fancy - don’t worry, this course is aimed at people new to web design and who have never coded before. We’ll start right at the beginning and work our way through step by step. 

Who am I? 

I’m Dan, and I’ve been building websites for about 15 years now. I am award winning instructor, and have won a MAX Master award for the last 2 years in a row at the prestigious Adobe Max conference.

I discovered the world of design as an art student when I stumbled upon a lab full of green & blue iMac G3’s. My initial curiosity around using the computer to create ‘art’ developed into a full-blown passion, eventually leading me to become a digital designer and founder of Bring Your Own Laptop.

Sharing and teaching are a huge part of who I am. As a certified Adobe instructor, I've had the honor of winning multiple Adobe teaching awards at their annual MAX conference. I see Bring Your Own Laptop as the supportive community I wished for when I was first starting out and intimidated by design. Through teaching, I hope to bring others along for the ride and empower my students to bring their stories, labors of love, and art into the world.
True to my Kiwi roots, I've lived in many places, and currently, I reside in Ireland with my wife and kids.

Transcript

Hello there, we're going to take our cards that are all kind of stacked on top of each other, and make them side by side using Card Groups, Card Decks, and Card Columns. All right, let's do it. 

So our mock-up here has our cards side by side, but in our current version, when we dumped them all in earlier on, look, they're all kind of just on top of each other. So we could spend some time kind of messing about trying to flip them, or we could probably do D-Flex, remember, Display Flex, we used just in the last video, but let's have a little dig around in the documentation to see what we can do. And cards, under 'Components', 'Cards', have a lots of, like this is probably the longest one here on Bootstrap. Look, scrolling, scrolling, scrolling…

So I can understand when you're like, "Man, that's a lot to read through." Just read through it, there's lots of browsing that comes along, and in my case what I'm looking for is, I want to show you these kind of Card Layouts. So we'll look at Card Groups first. Basically if you add a card group, it's just applying the Display Flex, but in a particular kind of way, which is kind of grouping them all together, all on the same line. Let's give that a go. 

So it says wrap them all, there's our individual cards. Wrap them all up in this thing called a Card Group. So let's do that in VS code. Here's my cards, I'm going to grab them all; here we go. I'm going to go 'Command-Shift-P', start typing 'wrap'. Wrap with abbreviation, and I'm going to put in our dot, '.' then I'm going to put in 'card group'. You see, wraps it all up in this card group. Let's check to see what it does, and, jackpot, well kind of, they're all in the same line at least. 

So Card Groups seem to work, but if I go down a little bit further, there is different Card Groups. Look at this, it is a Card Deck. Now it has been pointed out in the past that the word deck for a Kiwi is probably misunderstood. So deck is what I'm trying to say, but if you're laughing, you're probably not the first. And just because it's funny, Google, or go to YouTube and check out New Zealand advert. Dick, spelt that way. It is PG, if you're an adult you'll think it's funny, it's not crude, not too crude. Anyway go check that out, pause it, come back. 

So if you've got it out of your system, so we're going to use the deck, and we're going to say Card Deck. I know. Let's have a look, look at that. The deck is what we want. It has got spaces next to it, there's a nice one. Let's have a look at what else you can do. So let's have a look, some other things. There's Card Columns, we're not going to do columns but you could see, this is kind of cool, right? They're all kind of stacked on top of each other, different sizes. 

That would have been good for-- remember this one we did earlier? At the moment they're all the same size, but let's say my design was all kind of like jagged and up and down. I can see how that would be super cool, using the kind of, what is it? Card Columns. 

All right, so that's Card Groups, Card D-E-C-Ks, and Card Columns. Let's get into the next video.
