Weekly sharing of Goals! Week #35 2024 (Monday 09/02/24 - Sunday 09/08/24)

@Tinywhisper11

Goooood Mooooorning! Other than worrying about you 😔 (Glad they are there for you), my week is finishing one job and starting another so I'd say, going good. 

Even so with them..... You be nice to you and enjoy your rest while rebuilding your strength. 💖

Actually reviewed the first assignment. Have to resubmit it. The .doc wasn't supposed to be in the zipped file and I have to have a web hosting account (which I thought, but that wasn't specifically in the instructions, just on the reading list.) 

But, I'd rather deal with that than work although the reports for last month have just been loaded so I guess I'm behind again...

But, I have only two days left to the week and then I get a reprieve. And most of the supervisors aren't in the office Thursday and Friday so that's something.

I had to set up the environment for the webpage to be viewable places other than my computer. Basic knowledge I suppose but it's been a looong time since I did a web site and I don't think I ever had to do a domain 

So technically the code is right, I just can't get the environment set up. That's giving me an error. I emailed the professor and found an article with updated instructions. Hopefully one of those options will give me a solution to the error and I can continue with my assignments.

Got the resource created. Had to select a different region for it to work. Also had to install packages to get the studio to work. 

The studio will make it easier even though I'll have to do it at home. It can hold all the website files, auto format them and then upload them to the domain. Will also offer suggestions and point out errors.

@Enthenia

You know when you first started talking about your program classes and being fearful of a cetain program........ 🤔 I forget what that program was but it was long enough ago, I couldn't find it. It seems you are now learning multible techniques and succeeding a lot. 

Are you still working within that same program and if so, what is it again.... save my brain.... it's bugging me. 😂😖

@IsayUncle I think you mean Java. Not doing that now but my professor is the same.

@Enthenia

That was it! Thanks.... a bunch.... LOL

So, what platforms or programs are you working with now?

@Enthenia

yay... 2 day reprieve. 

Moving forward to build a website. That sounds very impressive.

@IsayUncle I don't know about impressive. I'm still having trouble getting it up on the domain server. I spent a couple of hours trying to get it to work (much to the annoyance of the dog) and it's still not showing like it should.

@Enthenia

That's a bummer. Poor puppy. (only for a bit 😏)

@IsayUncle I played with her for a long time this morning. Going to try to figure out how to get it working later. Right now laundry and I still need to eat. By then, someone will be ready to play again...

And I need to make up for not doing a picture yesterday...

I am so confused on this assignment. I have my basic code down and have tried to deploy it. I've even tried to do AWS and the free hosting site recommended in the reading list. The free hosting site says to create a database. Why do I need a database just for the homepage?

Fortunately, the target date for the 2nd assignment is the 14th so maybe I can get it figured out by then.

@Enthenia Depends upon the selected CMS. If you don't use one, or use one that doesn't use a DB, just uploading the web pages, exposing them to the web and getting a certificate should suffice.

@cloudySummer I tried VS Code and then deploying each file to Azure (images, CSS, HTML, and the .js). I have the extensions enabled but when I click on the link in Azure, no content shows. I tried using the storage part of Azure but that didn't work. 

I've tried the same thing on the other sites and get nothing aside from a blank page.

@mytwistedsoul

Hey Soul, I don't want to disturb Tiny (needs her rest) but am worried a bit. Have you heard anything from her recently. I know she was/is recovering from pnumonia. I don't want to tag her yet. 😔

Or if anyone knows?

@IsayUncle I saw her alittle yesterday in Iam's thread. She was talking about playing a game with one of her carers. I know she's been sleeping and resting alot. Yeah she's been pretty sick 😞 

You could send her a thinking of you or get well gif. Those are always nice to get  😊 And Tiny's such a sweetheart - she would definitely love it

@mytwistedsoul

Thanks 

@IsayUncle You're welcome! I hope she's ok 

@mytwistedsoul

I hope so too. She'll be ok.... she's a tough cookie! (she deserves a mental break too with her rest 🤗)

@Tinywhisper11

No reply needed. Just know you are missed and loved, so rest and get better SOON! Please...🙏💖..

@Tinywhisper11 (No Respnse Needed) You're thought of dearly every day. Get Well Soon! 

I got the assignment resubmitted. I used GitH. I don't know why they didn't suggest this to begin with. None of the other options worked for me. I created accounts that I didn't need. Now I'll have to go back and remove these accounts. 

And I have to figure out why the image and button formats aren't working on the published site.

@Enthenia

Very cool.... I just checked out GitHub. That is so freaking interesting. I'm glad you discovered it and worked your way through it. You have been building your toolbox quite nicely. Good job 😀

@Enthenia Yep, GitHub pages are really easy to setup. They already provide all certificates etc., nothing to do but enable them and add a template file somewhere into the repo.

I guess you did this? https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/educator-developer-blog/host-your-website-on-azure-static-web-apps-for-free/ba-p/3579709

@cloudySummer Not all the way. I got the information where other people can view it. I think I have to delete my existing app on Azure so I can link the Git address to it. I still have to figure out why the formatting on the CSS and the logo isn't working. 

@Enthenia My best tip is to use the browser's inspection tools. It allows you to play with things until it sits right. At least, if the CSS is loaded at all.
