ASSIGNMENT
work through a git tutorial
build a personal site in the class archive describing you and your final project
WORK FLOW
Since I have never used this platform before, I had to resort to several online tutorials to understand how I had to work, understand the codes of an html file and the various features.
Git Learning
First of all I went to see the tutorial proposed by the FabAccademy on the Schedule pages of the site (Schedule) shown on the Vision Control page. (Vision Control)
I watched tutorials on You Tube (Video) to better understand what GIT actually was. I then watched a video to understand the different steps I had to take to upload my material then on the FabAccademy website through Git Kraken page. (Video)
After getting informed on all the various procedures, Using Sublime Text (WebSite) I started then he worked on what I had learned using the template proposed by FabLab, entering my data, my codes and images.
During the Fab I had some problems with Git, namely that it no longer worked with the new Mac Book Pro upgrade.
This was definitely a problem because I couldn't update my website, so I installed Virtual Studio Code to update my website. (Virtual Code WebSite)
Everything I had done previously was not changed because on my desk I made a reference folder where I put all my files (photos, videos, files) that I will then need to upload to my website.
To upload things to my site is simple: I use the TERMINAL and drag my photo inside and I get the "code" of where it is and then from there I copy it to my code in BRACKETS but removing what I do not need.
EXAMPLE:
What I find
rajibonatti$ /Users/rajibonatti/Desktop/rajesh-bonatti/media/pictures/About/raji.jpg
What I keep and copy on my site
media/pictures/About/raji.jpg
IN CASE I MISS EVEN ONE SPACE I WILL SEE THE OUTLINE OF MY PHOTO/VIDEO BUT I WILL NOT SEE THE PHOTO OR VIDEO.
I then use Brackets to write my HTML codes. On Brackets I created each file for each assignment and every time I go to change something I can see the PREVIEW and if it is correct then I can go to VIRTUAL CODE STUDIO where I see the "COMMIT" and from there the only thing I do is select and add them (with the symbol "+" next to each file) and then send the PUSH.
VERY IMPORTANT THING:
You can't upload files heavier than 5MB, so if I have a lot of files I have to do a lot of PUSH trying not to exceed them.Files are generally not very heavy, but photos and videos are, so I use (TINY PNG) to compress PHOTOS and (CLIDEO) for videos. In this way I can be sure that my files are always smaller than 5MB and I can push them more safely, but not too many items. Every process is very easy and intuitive, even more so than Git in my opinion, or at least I found it very comfortable.
The result? My website on the FabLab Accademy page (WebSite): I always inserted using the Template every page related to me and what would then have been my goals towards Fab Academy.
Final Project
Initially I had no idea what I was going to do for my final project, but then thinking a bit about what my interests are I came up with an answer: I was definitely going to do something in interior design and along with that I was going to integrate new technologies.
I love music, technology, design and cool things, so I tried to incorporate all that.
To see the sequel go to my repository (FINAL PROJECT).
The question I asked myself was: What would I like to have at home to relax after a busy day at work?
My answer was: To listen to music with a little soft light;
I would certainly have to charge my smarthphone so I integrated the wireless charging system.
