"The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." — Lao Tzu
Hello everyone!
Today marks Day 1 of the RESTART journey, and it’s already been a packed day of learning, building, and revisiting. Here's a breakdown of what I tackled and some highlights:
Revisiting HTML & CSS Basics
To kick things off, I dove back into the Frontend Domination course by Sheriyans Coding School, where I focused on HTML and CSS. Despite having experience with these tools, going back to basics has been refreshing. It's easy to overlook small yet crucial details when you're working at a high level, and today was all about strengthening that foundation. Revisiting HTML tags, CSS positioning, and flexbox tricks reminded me of how powerful even the simplest elements can be when used correctly.
First Full-Stack Project: A Social Media Platform for College
Alongside the HTML and CSS revision, I started building my first full-stack project—a social media platform designed specifically for a college community. It’s ambitious but exciting! I began by planning the core features and laying out the structure. Starting with frontend basics, I’m crafting a design that’s visually appealing but also functional and efficient for student interactions.
Progress in Cloud Computing with AWS
I also completed another module in AWS Cloud Practitioner from GeeksForGeeks. Cloud computing has always been a field I’ve wanted to understand better, and today’s module brought me a step closer to that goal. Gaining more insights into how cloud infrastructure works has already started sparking ideas for future projects. Each lesson in this module is helping me build confidence in AWS and in understanding the potential it brings to backend development.
Goldman Sachs Virtual Internship: Cryptography & Password Security
The highlight of the day was receiving my certificate for completing the Goldman Sachs virtual internship. This experience was a deep dive into the world of cryptography and password security. During the internship, I learned how to analyse password structures, worked on cracking techniques, and explored the best practices for maintaining robust password protection. Knowing these techniques and their ethical applications has been incredibly eye-opening, especially when considering how vital security is in today’s tech-driven world.
Final Thoughts
Day 1 has set the stage for an incredible journey. From brushing up on HTML and CSS fundamentals to diving deeper into cloud computing and cybersecurity, I’m excited about what lies ahead. Tomorrow’s focus will be to progress further in my project and maybe tackle some backend concepts. Stay tuned for more!
