Hello World

Am chuks Festus by name, a UI/UX designer and a front-end developer. Growing up, I was always really interested in technology and the internet.

Over the years, I have dabbled in web design and development as a hobby, making some poorly designed websites and writing some pretty awful code. Because I never got a fully formal developer education, there were a few things that I didn’t know, and I didn’t know that I didn’t know them. As an example, I only discovered CSS pre-processors about a year ago, and it has literally transformed my workflow since!

Nowadays, I have improved a lot in my skill. I’m plugged in to as many designer and hacker news outlets as I can to make sure that I’m doing things right. Even so, there are still things that I don’t know. Whether that is due to the ever changing nature of the industry, or the fact that I work alone, I am constantly learning new things to improve my craft. And I can’t be the only one.

So i have decided to start sharing my ever growing knowledge about web development. Particularly little code bits that, as a developer, you could get away with not writing, but you should. Or things that you may be writing but don’t really understand why. I’m sure there will be things I just learn that pretty much all developers already know about, but I guess I have accepted that I might look stupid!
