Why?
This site was created as a sandbox, to develop, test, and practice coding (free-of-charge) for
the static portions of my “real” website. I wanted to learn how to create my own fully
functioning site, with all the capabilities of a B2C site; without the help of the so-called
“free” website builders, you see advertised so ubiquitously (They all come at a price! Some site
builders clearly state what they expect in return, others are much worse, with the true cost
nefariously hidden deep within the free code they use).
This meant I had to be up-to-date with the latest in HTML, CSS, and JS at the bare minimum, for a
static site such as this website. And, to achieve my ultimate goal, of a dynamic site as
almost all B2C sites are*; it also meant jQuery, AJAX, PHP, ASP, XML, SQL. Not to mention all
the “auxiliary” tools needed for
a “pretty” site, and any languages needed to create an application that may accompany the site…
And I wanted to do all this, without spending a single dime. Daunting, right? ...But doable! And,
since I’ve been pursuing this goal since I was literally a child 😊, and over the past decade or
two I’ve managed to learn almost all I need (if they would just stop updating and evolving!!!)
*Since dynamic websites require a server and storage, I am using the services provided by
the big 3
web-service providers out there. And to maintain the free-of-charge goal, and ensure
security of the site,
I’m not sharing links to those sites yet. They are coming soon...
