Greetings. I'm Bryan, and this is the Repository for my Project One (and ultimately the site that holds the links to my future projects. Github will contain the most up-to-date Commits for this project.
Note:
- All of the links and necessary resources are hosted within a Digital Ocean Droplet at the above link (and requisite sub folders). Additionally, the DNS Name Services are provided through the educational assistance program of NameCheap.com. I chose to allow NameCheap to continue to maintain the Name Server control (of forwarding) for the time being, as I didn't want to complicate matters with propagation delay.
As a class requirement, this project and all subsequent projects will be Version Controlled via Git and Github. The link above will lead you my very first Project whose purpose and role is to provide links to the future projects and tell you a little about myself. I'll let that site do that, instead of elaborating here, but some features I'd like to highlight. There is a quick-navigation menu on the right which can be opened by button and closed via "X" button. This will lead to anchored sections within the overall document, making it a single continous flowing page.
This project doesn't have a demo requirement, but I wanted to include the block I will utilize to store the location for future projects.
Presentation: My Demo can be found at Demo Place.
This project requires no password or further explanation. Please look here in future projects for explanations of actions or required credentials.
The following items were included for attached rationale:
--Twitter Bootstrap Framework
Utilizing the Bootstrap Framework gave me the opportunity to uniformly present information within my site. Its requisite theme from CSS is also represented below as a utilized dependency. The color mapping, sized character depictions, and quick implementation of anchored areas are unparallelled for a fledgling designer.
--JQuery and JQuery Countdown Plug-in
[Jquery Countdown](http://hilios.github.io/jQuery.countdown/)
Graphical depictions created by JQuery plug-ins just manage to accomplish more with less code. In this context, JQuery is only utilized on the attached temporary "Under Contruction" site for each project. Each has a countdown timer with a "No Later Than Date" for each project's Due Date.
--Bootstrap Theme (.css)
I don't have the luxury of time/experience to create eye pleasing color palates, and functional design. Twitter is generous enough to provide these under reusable licensing terms. I altered them (within the confines of the licensing structure) to facilitate features/color schemes within my design. I've listed this separately due to its alteration within Licensing.
--Font Awesome 4.1.0
[Font Awesome](http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/)I utilized the Font Awesome inclusions so that I could use the their fancy Icon Sets. For instance, Facebook, LinkedIn, GitHub, and Pied Piper are the only icons used in the contact area: doing more with less in terms of visual appeal.Also, there are LESS versions and pre-processing already apparent for efficiency.
