Bootstrap 4: Three Steps To Create A Fancy Pattern Card Page

Today, I learned how to add picture card on the page. The Udemy course shows a simple pattern project to demonstrate it. Then, I follow the instructor's steps and create my own pattern page.

Step One: Create Simple Nav Bar

On the top of page, we need to create a nav. Inside the <nav> tag, I set the background color (bg-dark) and navbar color (navbar-dark). You can always change your background color to light or any other choices.

The instructor showed us how to install an icon from Font Awesome. Basically, you find your ideal icon from their icon page and copy the tag and paste in your HTML.

Moreover, we also need to add a support link from Font Awesome Start Page inside header tag, so the icon tag will work.

The result: dark nav bar with a small icon in front of the brand name.

Step Two: Create A Jumbotron

We create a Jumbotron, and inside it we adding the header text, paragraph text and two small buttons. All the button class value are selected from Bootstrap 4 Button Code.

We also want to add a pattern image background for the Jumbotron, so we create a simple <style> and set the ID selector "header" background image.

Normally, we create another CSS file to do it, but this is the only CSS part for this project, so we just add it in the HTML page.

The result:

Step Three: Add Card Image

Bootstrap 4 add a brand new card component. We will use the basic card style which has top image and some body text.

We add an card top image first by adding the image link in the card.

The result:

By following the card code, we add the the card title, card text, and two buttons under the top image. One of the buttons is the icon from Font Awesome.

Since the card is too large on the page, we don't have enough space for the other two cards. We set the grid class value "col-lg-4" to let the card only scale 4 columns for the large device size.

The result: The card becomes smaller and only accounts for 1/3 of the page.

Then, we copy the card twice inside the container, and update the top image links and card title. At the end, the final page looks a lot attractive.

My Story: A Mommy Start To Learn Code From Zero

From Google Image I am not a programmer, and I thought I would never become one. Everytime I see someone is coding, I think he or she must be very talent. For me, coding is a very difficult subject to learn. Not only the language has so many rules, but also the logical reasoning behind the language is complex. In my graduated school, I knew many friends who didn't have any coding background, but they are doing programmer or developer jobs now. Some of them went to school to study coding, and some of them learned to code by themselves. Their stories are so impressive. I wasn't ready to learn code until I finished my first Chinese book "留学，我的青春呀!" recently. I always want to be a writer and write my own book. I started writing blog three years ago, and I updated my post two to three times every week. As I enjoyed writing , I started to get some followers, likes, and good comments on my blog. Then, I decided to plan my first book. My First...

Three Most Common HTML Form Elements You Should Know

When I visited the Facebook page at the first time, it required me to sign up. Therefore, I completed the sign up form to create my new account. The form is very simple to fill in because it only asks for very common information such as full name, phone number, new password, birthday, and gender. It only took me one or two minutes to finish the form. Not only Social media sites require us to sign up first before we post anything, but many business or eCommerce sites also ask us to create new account before we take any action. For example, when I go to the Origins skin care site, it will pop up a email sign up form window. To encourage new customers to sign up, it gives a 15% off for the first order. It is definitely an attractive call-to-action message. Anyway, if your website requires users to sign up, you need to know how to create a HTML form. Yesterday, I just learned how to build a simple HTML form from Udemy course. And it is not that hard. All you need to kno...
