If you haven’t done the Responsive Web Design course at freeCodeCamp yet then this article is for you.
I have recently started the Odin Project in the hopes of landing my first job and getting better at web development. So far, I haven’t been disappointed. In the Foundation course, there’s a section where you have to complete the entire Responsive Web Design course at freeCodeCamp as an assignment. I would like to share my thoughts on how I finished it in 3 days and so can you!
The Responsive Web Design course at freeCodeCamp covers most of the basics in HTML5 and CSS3. So, if you are a beginner then this is a good place to start. The topics covered are:
- Basic HTML and HTML5: This covers most of what you will be using throughout your HTML journey.
- Basic CSS: This covers all the aesthetic aspects of building a website and making it look good.
- Applied Visual Design: Typography stuff, color theory, animation, music embedding, etc. All the good stuff that a web designer should know.
- Applied Accessibility: This part is about making the web more user-friendly especially for handicapped people. I learned a lot of stuff here that most courses might not cover.
- CSS Flexbox: Basic Flexbox techniques and functions.
- CSS Grid: Basic Grid techniques and functions.
And if these aren’t enough for you then there are also 5 projects waiting for you at the end of the course so you can get a certificate. The projects will help build your portfolio in the future. I skipped the projects as I have already done similar projects in the past. But I might try them in the future. And remember it’s not about the race, it’s about enjoying what you do and making a living out of it!
