Project Study: Four Steps To Create A Tic Tac Toe Box

Today I am going to apply CSS box into a Tic Tac Toe table. And this is the assignment from the course.

Step One: Create A HTML Table

The Tic Tac Toe is a table contains three rows and three columns.

So the table page looks like:

You can't see the table because two reasons:

1. I didn't put any table data in the <td> elements, so it is an empty table.
2. I didn't add border in the CSS.

Step Two: Set Basic Text and Table Properties

I start to move the header from the page left to the center, so I set the "text-align" property to be center.

Then I set the table margin as auto and set each td width and height to be 100px.

As the result, the table get bigger, but it is still invisible without adding borders.

Step Three: Use Class Selector to Add Vertical Border

When I was doing this assignment, I did very well on the first two steps, but I got stuck on this step.

How to add the right border on each table data box? I tried to add border on table, but it didn't seem right. I even tried to use the nth-of-type selector to select each single box, but it was still wrong. I was so struggled, so I had to watch the solution video.

The course instructor told us to add "class" in the HTML and set all the vertical and horizontal value. The second cell of each row will have a left and right vertical border, and the second row will have a horizontal top and bottom border.

In the CSS, I set the class selector ".vert" border-left and border-right to be a black solid border.

The result shows the left and right border on the second table column.

Step Four: Use Class Selector to Add Horizontal Border

The final step is to add the horizontal border for the second row of the table. We only set the top and bottom border.

The final result:

After this exercise, I realized that the hardest part is not about writing those code, but is about connecting all the code in a logical way.

GIT Study Note: Six Git Commands You Should Know!

What is Git? According to Git website , Git is a free and open source distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency. Basically, we can use Git to track all of changes and revert them back if we made mistakes. The version control system is a way for us to work with different versions of our code, so that we can save different features and make notes as we progress. It is also very useful for team collaboration. Six Git Command You Should Know 1. Git Init In our server, we need to create a "Git" directory and inside of "Git", we make another direcory "git_inro". Then, we add a file "app,js" in the "git_intro" folder. The first thing we need to run is "git init" . When we run git init, it will make a directory which is hidden called ".git". Wherever I run that git init command, it's going to track all of our changes. ...

Intermediate Express.js: How To Render HTML From A EJS File?

The Express.js apps we have developed so far are just simply getting requests from users and sending matched message back to them. However, it is not what we want in the real web application. In most case, we want to send back a relevant web page when our app receives request from user. In order to do that, we need to npm install ejs file in the Express, create HTML page in the ejs file, and render HTMl from the ejs file. I know it sounds confuse now. I am going to explain more details in the example. EJS stands for embedded JavaScript. It lets us embed JavaScript code variables if statements loops inside of HTML. How to render HTML from a EJS file? Step One: Create a HTML page in EJS file Firstly, in our server, we create a folder named "EJSDemo". In this folder, we touch two files, one is "app.js", and the other one is "home.ejs". We are going to write a simple HTML code in the "home.ejs" file. The instructor create a dog page,...

Intro To Authentication: Three Useful Tools Will Make Everything Easier

Authentication is very important for both users and websites. It helps to keep users' information safe and also helps us to manage the accounts. Authentication is also complex because there is a lot of moving pieces that have to fit together in just the right way to make that work. The course introduce three tools to make authentication more quickly and safely. 1. Passport.js Passport.js will make our life easier and make our code shorter. It also helps to make implementation faster. Most importantly, it is used a lot in the real word. 2. Passport Local Passport Local is for username and password. It's about providing this entry point into all sorts of destinations. 3. Passport Local Mongoose This package will help us implement authentication with passport, and it's specially made to work with mongoose. We are also going to use these three tools into a Secret Page App project, which will show in next few posts.
