Dan Carroll’s Github Pages

These pages are the gateway into Dan Carroll’s online world. Included are my GitHub activities as well as work on other sites. This site is created and maintained with Jekyll: https://jekyllrb.com/.

Note

As a reminder, github.dev can be used as a lightweight web-based editor that runs entirely in your browser. You can navigate files and source code repositories from GitHub, and make and commit code changes.

There are two ways to go directly to a VS Code environment in your browser and start coding:

• Press the . key on any repository or pull request.
• Swap .com with .dev in the URL. For example, this repo https://github.com/github/dev becomes http://github.dev/github/dev.

About Me

• https://github.com/dan-carroll

  My GitHub profile page.

• https://github.com/dan-carroll/dan-carroll

  The README file here is tied to my GitHub profile page and shows up there.

• https://github.com/dan-carroll/dan-carroll.github.io

  This is the repository housing this README file. I am attempting to bring all of my online activities to one place. So these lists are part of that effort. This repository contains the code for my homepage at Dan Carroll’s Github Pages.

• dan-carroll-bio

  My personal Bio. It is on the menu and linked to in My GitHub Pages homepage. The original repository is at chuckgroom/onepage-bio.

• dan-carroll-portfolio

  My portfolio which is also accessible from my homepage.

My Blogs – and Other Sites

• Dan Reads

  My reading list. And other books I like. Plus books I might recommend. Even thinking about adding kids books since I am the proud Papa (grandpa) of 9.
  This project’s GitHub repository

• 365 Day Graphic Design Challenge

  The results of my own personal challenge to learn how, or just do, a new graphic each day for 365 days. Not necessarily all contiguous days as I do tend to become side-tracked at times by other projects.
  This project’s GitHub repository

• My Python Pages

  My site for much of my meandering journey in learning, and sharing, my work in the programming language of the moment – Python.

• Rather Be Coding

  My blog about programming. Details and the blog itself is coming (back). Temporarily offline at the moment.

My GitHub Projects

These may not be original works of mine. Could be forkings of interesting projects I wanted to play around with. Or could be projects created from some of the lessons in the GitHub Lab. This is an attempt to organize things a bit here on GitHub.

• Collection of Development Books Available to Read Online

  The title above says it all. Follow this link to the GitHub project itself: https://github.com/dan-carroll/online-development-books.

• jQuery Fundamentals by Rebecca Murphey

  The original book and derivatives are available here along with my revised (in the works) edition, which is meant to bring Rebecca Murphey’s original work up to date. jQuery version 3.7 is the current version with 4.0 to be released soon. The project repository is here: https://github.com/dan-carroll/jquery-fundamentals.

• PWA Examples

  Examples of PWAs. Some are mine. Some are shared from other sites or tutorials. Some are derivatives of others’ work. Just a sampling of what is possible and place to possibly start your own.
  This project’s GitHub repository

• Simple PWA

  Forked from nikkifurls/simplepwa.
  Simple PWA is a Progressive Web App template that provides the minimum file structure needed to create a PWA. Not my project (yet). I plan on making it my own. It hasn’t been updated in awhile and needs changes. Changes that I plan to implement to fit what I want (need).

• PWA Starter Kit

  Starter templates for building full-featured Progressive Web Apps from web components.

  Forked from Polymer/pwa-starter-kit. This project is no longer under development. If you’re interested in continuing to use PWA Starter Kit, feel free to fork and modify it as you like.

  Which is what I plan to, that is to modify this project to meet my needs.

  HTML, or Javascript, games to increase web app programming skills. And to have fun. Have more to do with this and need to create an index.html file for web access.

• dan-carroll/learn.jquery.com

  Forked from jquery/learn.jquery.com. Not sure this site is up to date. The README file was updated a few months ago. But the repository files are 7 years old or older. Need to check out the website, learn.jquery.com, to see if this is even close to being up to date.
