Create Reusable Navigation

Currently, each page has to be written by hand. It would be nice if we could have the same <head> code for each page on the site.

I know node will take care of this in the future. For now, is there a way for us to script it?

Individual Collaborator Page

I think we should have an individual page for each collaborator. This would be a place for each collaborator to have a bit of fun and show off their unique skills.

Requirements

Write your name as a collaborator on index.html
Make your name a link which points to a separate page
Make your page with the following attributes
- Have a link back to the index page
- Have an image
- Have a h2 heading element titled Where I am In My Coding Journey
- Have a few paragraph elements describing you
- Have a unordered list with your city, country, favorite food, favorite color and favorite song

Fix your collaborator page

Hey @delagulater88 - Good job with your page. but it needs a bit of cleaning up. :D Great work my man!

Table of Content Page new

@cjtabaldo , your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to create a table of content page.

It should:

Match the layout and look of the index page
Link to the individual lesson pages
Be mobile responsive (Use the CSS from Skeleton which is already in the repo)
The index page should link to the table of content page
The table of content page should link to the index page

If you're not interested in giving this one a try, please un-assign yourself using the Assignees gear box on the right.

God speed!

Make a button open a link in a new tab

When users click the button below, their browsers should open the link in a new window.

HINT: Search for target element HTML.

Please do it for the other button as well.

GOD SPEED!

Would you like to collaborate? Comment on this issue to join the club!

First Step: Comment Below

In order for me to approve you as a collaborator, I need to know who you are. Please comment below letting me know you're ready to start. For quick replies, tweet me to let me know you've added me.

Further information

Seeking collaborators. Create your first PR today!

If you're unfamiliar with what this repository is, I describe it in a YouTube live video which you can find here:

https://youtu.be/pwbexWdlSh4

So if you're interested in learning to code by actually writing useful code, please comment below and let me know you would like to become a collaborator.

Once you are granted collaborator access, you can start creating your first pull request. In the following video, I go through the process for the first time in a long time. Please just follow along:

https://youtu.be/YicCGAHibs0

After you've created your first pull request, you'll be ready to take on more challenging aspects of computer programming. At that point, you can start collaborating with me to make this the best resource on the internet for developing professional programmers.

Add a customized favicon

Add an image to your GitHub account.

Your GitHub account will be a useful place for people and organizations to care about the code you do.

To make your GitHub portfolio look great, add a picture to your account.

Develop a Table of Context for `trust-the-process` documents

We currently have a folder called Trust the Process.

We need to develop a way of indexing this so new coders can begin their journey by completing a single chapter at a time.

I've already added the first step.

To Do:

Add link from main index page to the first-step page
Develop the look of the index page to have a cool table of contents look

Add an image to your GitHub account.

Your GitHub account will be a useful place for people and organizations to care about the code you do. To make your GitHub portfolio look great, add a profile image to your account.

Linked your collaborator page properly

Hey @cjtabaldo
Currently, when I click your collaborator link, I get a 404 page error:

You'll want to fix this by editing the index.html page where you have linked out to your collaborator page.

Add a link to your collaborator page

Create a Slack Group and Link it to Index Page

Since we're all making progress with this, I think it makes sense to have the ability to chat on the side. If one of you would like to set up a slack group (maybe call it learn-to-be-a-useful-programmer.slack.com).

Set up the slack channel via slack.com
Add a button to the top of the index.html page which opens the slack channel in a new window
Invite Me!

If you want to take on this project, please comment below first. We don't want two people doing this at the same time.

Need a series of lessons for especially young programmers to learn basics

It would be good if we could have each collaborator earn check marks on their collaborator page as they complete various HTML, CSS and JavaScript challenges.

This might need to be wrapped into the overall application, but maybe there is a way to validate things using static pages.

Let me know if you're interested in this.

Create an individual page for lessons

Create a page per lesson (currently there are three lessons)
- Lesson 1 - Introduce Yourself
- Lesson 2 - Add your Name to Collaborators Index Page
- Lesson 3 - Create your collaborator page and link to it via your name on the index page

Currently, the three lessons are on the index page:

You'll want to:

Create a folder called lessons
Add html file called `lesson1.html' to the lessons folder
Add html file called `lesson2.html' to the lessons folder
Add html file called `lesson3.html' to the lessons folder
Copy the video embed and the content from the index.html file which corresponds to each lesson and have it displaying in each individual page

You'll be able to check you work by visiting lessons/lesson1.html in your browser

Good luck!

Long term application decision discussion

My initial thoughts:

Boostrap
NodeJS
ExpressJS

I'm thinking of basing it on MegaBoiler plate.

I'd like to do this despite the fact that I'm a big fan of Ruby on Rails. What do you guys think?
