Resources
i'm completely 100% self-taught, and here's everything i used to make my website! there's probably other stuff idk about. please inspect my elements! you can do it too :)
- w3schools - holy grail of learning html/css.
- Mozilla Webdev - technically the most in-depth resource for webdev, but it's dense so i only use it for advanced stuff.
- CanIUse - tells you if your cool feature is too cool (new) for most browsers.
- VScode - text editor with pretty much everything you need. takes some getting used to. i used to use sublime, which is totally fine too, but VScode has more useful webdev features.
- 11ty - the static site generator i'm using. lowkey i kinda hate it, but it's really powerful and i did finally make it work, so. i wish i could link 11ty tutorials but honestly they ALL SUCK!!
- Github Desktop - connects to VScode so anything i edit on my computer can be put straight on github. this is why i switched from sublime.
- bcomnes deploy - automatically updates my neocities for me whenever i update github.
- Accessible Net Directory - wonderful for learning about disability and how to accommodate as a webmaster. tons of resources, and lists of sites for practical examples.
- Solaria's gif Freeze - simple lightweight solution to adding a pause button for gifs.
- Humantooth's Free Fonts - long list of free fonts to use on the web with download links.
- Layoutit! - interface for generating css grid layouts. it's annoying by hand.
- RealFaviconGenerator - turns images into favicons. really thorough about making it work on all devices and platforms.
- Piskel - really good sprite editor for a browser app. i made my site buttons with it.
- DIY HRT wiki - we're in this together, stay safe out there.
