How you guys doing

Hi Guys , it's about 3 months I paused my account. I believe this is the best thing I ever did.

I always been a lazy reader, but determined to understand more about CSS, Java and Jquery.

I now understand that Treehouse is good to learn, but if you want to really be great at this game, you need more ressources.

I went through lots of books over 6000 pages of tutorials exercices and more.

I'm still going, but some books are just GOLD mines...

Keep working hard see you in 6 months or more, but will come back

Happy Xmas and New year friends

More important than just reading books is writing code. I am not at all discrediting having books and reading as much possible, on the contrary. However, after being in this profession for 18 years I can say that nothing comes close to writing code and putting as much time into building as you can. There is a point where you need to drop the book and start building something, as you do the books will continue to be a necessary resource. Just my humble opinion.

Good luck and much success!

the books are built in exercices, mixed, Html5, CSS and java, some add Jquery, the best thing about this is having book that gives you the most basic codes, and build to the most complex ones, with Java and Query I really do enjoy them. I'm writng Code everyday

And I understand more what I'm doing and why

The most important skill I built in CSS, was to target an element, just change one little part of the Code, maybe modifie the font of the list item, give it a background, without affecting the all navigation bar, add padding, create a collapsable navigation bar with Java, how to create a website, and why choose colours and choose them to match perfectly, how to make your website attractive to visitor, and how to keep them coming, so important and at the same time so simple. Things for people that use screen readers, why use alt... and so on.

Well i love this Game I will also start teaching on my youtube page in french, people love the idea when I spoke about...

I'm over the moon
