Hello everyone! I am new to this whole pet profile business! Taught myself html/css in 3 weeks and decided to get working on my pet profiles. This isn't my first profile I designed, but my 2nd one. It is my pet, Vyana. This took forever to do, but it is done!

I wish I could have done more with it, but it bums me out that we cannot use JavaScript/JQuery. :( I wanted to add more but what I wanted needed more than just CSS...

Hope you guys like how it looks! I am open to feedback!!

The only thing left to do is to make her a Common ...

wowww it's really cool! that's amazing that you only just learned css! seriously, it's incredible. i gotta step up my game 😳

Aww, thanks! Glad you like it. :) Yeah, I took the html/css course on Code Academy to help me get started.

This is an amazing profile, I love it so much. You should probably open commissions or something? If you wanted to, of course.

Thank you!! I am glad you like it. ^_^

I actually really want to! But before I open up a shop or offer my services, I want to have a good number of samples to showcase first. :)

I'm astonished! By the profile, by the art, by the whole story. Great work there! Can't wait to see her win spotlight. 😍

Oh wow!! Thank you so much for the huge compliment! I am really happy to hear you like it.

It's so nice to see such a creative profile here. Amazing work! You're good at both coding and design - an impressive thing to see.

If you like front-end web programming, I encourage you to keep doing it both on Subeta and outside of Subeta (where you aren't quite as restricted). If you don't already know about codepen.io, it's a fun place to play around with ideas. When you are ready, I encourage you to check out ReactJS if you are interested in getting into some larger projects outside of Subeta. I love React and can also send some nice tutorials/resources your way (just let me know!)

Also, it appears you may already be proficient with non-web-related programming. It might be fun to look into web frameworks in a language of your choice, so that you can build yourself a website from the ground up. It's a lot of fun and a great learning experience as well to build an entire website from scratch. Personally, I use Python's Django and like it a lot, but most popular languages have MVC frameworks that are just as good.

Thank you so much! I am really glad to hear that!

I love programming! I am an EE major so most of my courses involve programming like C/C++ and Python which is why I was able to pick up HTML/CSS rather quickly. I just got into front-end developing when I attended numerous local hackathons during my last semester in college. I have been addicted to it ever since. :) I am taking some time off after graduating to really focus and dedicate my time learning more about front-end developing. I am loving too much.

I currently am teaching myself JQuery and just taught myself basic JavaScript. (I need to practice with JavaScript...though.) I am literally aching for ANY opportunity to put my programming skills to work and practice. And I would love for any resources and tutorials that you are willing to share!! ^_^

And I have heard of codepen.io! Literally one of my most visited and favorite sites (besides stackoverflow and css-tricks ahaha.) And I do intend making my own website actually and to be honest, that is the reason what kickstarted my whole programming learning adventure. :) I may actually look at Django because I am more proficient/comfortable with Python than C/C++.

Awesome! I also love programming and it's so great to meet someone who shares that passion :) I'm actually happiest coding in Lisp or C (I actually enjoy coding in C, believe it or not) but I kinda... became a web developer by accident lol. So here I am now, doing full stack stuff all day when secretly I wish someone would make me disassemble something.

Anyway, resources I promised. First off, definitely check out ReactJS and possible look into ES6 as well. (Not yet supported, but you can still use it for your projects with the help of a transpiler.) I learned React in a day using these two pages:

• http://buildwithreact.com/tutorial - Start here. An interactive tutorial covering React basics.
• https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/thinking-in-react.html - Thinking in React walks you through turning ideas into a React project. Really helpful in learning the React philosophy.

I think you will appreciate how it works.

It does assume maybe more-than-basic JS knowledge. But, if you're good with C and Python, you can probably get by just fine using what you know about coding in general. You should understand and be good with functional programming concepts though (first-class functions, higher-order-functions, closures).

When it comes to Django, I learned from the official docs and I think they're honestly the best way to learn. Setting it up and starting a project is SUPER easy. Tbh everything is super easy in Django, and each new version that comes out they just make more things easier...

I actually never started using codepen until this year. I made one pen on it and posted it to reddit lol. Then the pen was deleted. I complained. Codepen apologized and gave me a year of free Pro account O_O So now I use it to take advantage of that LOL.

Finally, this is my favorite resource for design inspiration (though beware these are mainly experimental designs, without great support) http://tympanus.net/codrops/

Oh wow! Thank you so much for the resources! I am really really excited to get started on these. :) I just took a quick peek at the React tutorial... and I am going to need to take my time with that. Ahaha.

And I have heard of functional programming, been reading up about it. Will definitely continue looking at it to understand it more.

But thank you again for the resources and the valuable advice and tips!! :D

No problem! Feel free to hit me up if you want to chat about anything you're learning or doing. And of course I'm always willing to provide help if you need.

Functional programming is quite beautiful. I don't know of a good general tutorial I can point you at, however. Perhaps I should try my hand at writing one. But, depending on your interests, there are two language-specific tutorials you may want to check out:

• Learn You a Haskell For Great Good
• Clojure for the Brave and True

I'm always around and down to talk code, as I have no life and spend all my time coding something or other :P Have fun!
