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.

Link Style Step One: Touch a Separate CSS file I create a new directory "Style" under the "EJSDemo" directory, then I add a new CSS file "app.css" inside "Style" folder.

Intro to Backend: Is Browser The Only Place To Send HTTP Request?

Today, I begin to learn the second part of web develop course: backend. Frontend is the stuff that we can see and interactive with, such as HTML, CSS, and JS. We can type our code, style our page, or write some function to make interaction. However, backend is everything else. For example, we type Target web address in the Internet Browser. As we hit "enter", there are a few steps to go through: 1. The HTTP request is sent to a particular server's IP address. 2. The server figures out what to send us 3. It sends a HTTP response back to us Those process we are hard to see, and it happens in less than one second. The instructor said that the browser is not the only place to send the HTTP request, and there are so many choices out there. In this learning course, we are going to use Postman App . Postman allows us to make HTTP requests and viewer responses. It is really for developers to understand how things are working or debug something. In the P...

Intermediate CSS: Three Steps To Create A Photo Gallery

I have seen many image blogs these years. People love to post their photos online to express life and feeling. Image is powerful because it could bring a visual story to audience. People can see what you see, and may be feel the same way as you feel, too. If we want to build our own photo gallery, what should we do? Luckily, the boot-camp instructor just showed me how to use HTML and CSS to create a simple photo gallery. I would love to share my study note here. (p.s. all the image links are provided by Udemy course instructor) Step One: Add Image Links on HTMLPage The instructor provides all the image links. All we need to do is add those links inside the <img> tag. Without CSS, the page will looks like this: they are not organized, and sizes are different, too. Step Two: Set Image Property Values We set the width of each photo the same value which is 30%, so there will be three images per line. The percentage value can help...
