My GitHub Profile About Me
I don’t know how I missed this, but adding a GitHub profile readme file was an interesting “project”. I hit upon how to do this by personalizing my profile when I stumbled upon the Customizing your profile GitHub Docs page. You can do the same by following the Personalizing your profile link yourself. Or just click on that last link to get the info.

HTML Games with JavaScript
Games are a fun way to spend your time. They can be relaxing or exciting, even educational. Some are quite challenging and can be great problem-solving mental exercises. So, however you enjoy your games, creating and playing your own creations can be a great way to learn programming techniques.

Browser Navigation Examples
I was always looking for navigation examples for new websites and never quite got what I wanted. So I would copy and modify things until I got what I wanted. Keeping track of so many examples was becoming a bit confusing.

Lonely Globe PWA
Another PWA based on the tutorial Getting Started with Offline First using UpUp. See the TalAter/UpUp GitHub repo. Just go down into demo folder for the tutorial code under “getting-started-with-offline-first-demo”. The tutorial isn’t complete. Had to look at the code on GitHub. And the .min.js.map files weren’t complete so changed to using the non-minimized js files from the src folder in the root of the repo.

Creating a To-Do PWA
Now this tutorial, Building a Mobile App using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript by Wisdom Ekpotu, was great fun. I ended up with a useable app that has become part of my daily routine. See if you can detect the changes I made in the code for a slight custom fit compared to the original.

Created a PWA Examples Repository
Created a PWA Examples repository to showcase code and examples of progressive web applications as I learn how these work. For more mature examples of working PWAs, check out these examples on MDN Web Docs. MDN Web Docs is a great place to go to learn the details of web technologies.

Python Bottle Bootstrap
So, I wanted to play around with the Bottle framework. This is a very interesting tool to utilize. It is a micro-framework written in Python, all in a single file. With it you can create simple web b ased tools all the way up to full websites.

Dan Carroll Portfolio
My portfolio page was created as part of a GitHub Learning Lab exercise. The author of the Communicating Using Markdown course utilized the Jekyll Hacker template. This template could be termed a bit cheezy but I kind of like it. The old school computer look mixed with a few modern tweaks works for me. Maybe some day I’ll change the template to bring this part of the site into line with the main pages.
