Unit 3 Challenge: Code Bootstrap Portfolio

Overview

In this assignment, you'll be building your portfolio layout using the Bootstrap CSS Framework.

Before You Begin

  • You've learned a ton of material: HTML, CSS, GitHub, GitHub Pages, and Bootstrap. If you feel like you're falling behind, there's no need to panic. You'll have plenty of time to digest and master this material.

  • We're diving into JavaScript next unit, and HTML/CSS will start receiving less focus. Still, you'll find that a basic knowledge of HTML/CSS will help you understand JavaScript, especially when we use it to manipulate web pages.

Commits

  • Having an active and healthy commit history on GitHub is important for your future job search. It is also extremely important for making sure your work is saved in your repository. If something breaks, committing often ensures you are able to go back to a working version of your code.

  • Committing often is a signal to employers that you are actively working on your code and learning.

    • We use the mantra “commit early and often.” This means that when you write code that works, add it and commit it!

    • Numerous commits allow you to see how your app is progressing and give you a point to revert to if anything goes wrong.

  • Be clear and descriptive in your commit messaging.

    • When writing a commit message, avoid vague messages like "fixed." Be descriptive so that you and anyone else looking at your repository knows what happened with each commit.

  • We would like you to have well over 200 commits by graduation, so commit early and often!

Instructions

  1. Create a new GitHub repositories and name it Bootstrap-Portfolio.

  2. Clone this repository to your computer.

  3. Inside your Bootstrap-Portfolio repo, create the folder structure for the webpage.

    • Create a folder structure.

      • Create a index.html.

      • Create a css folder.

        • Inside create a style.css file.

    • Create an images folder.

      • Place all your images in this folder.

  4. Using Bootstrap, recreate your portfolio site with the following items:

    The website should include the following bootstrap components:

    • A Navigation bar

    • A navigation menu at the top. Feel free to use the navbar code provided in Bootstrap's documentation, or create your own navbar by applying the correct Bootstrap classes to your HTML.

      • Include links that are applicable to your portfolio.

        • Links should navigate to the appropriate sections

    • A hero section

      • A jumbotron featuring your picture, your name, and any other information you'd like to include.

    • A work section

      • A section displaying your work in grid.

      • Use bootstrap cards for each project.

        • The description should give a brief overview of the work.

      • Each project will eventually link to your class project work!

    • A skills section

      • List out the skills you expect to learn from the bootcamp.

    • An about / contact section.

      • An "About Me" section in the same row.

    • A footer section.

      • All hyperlinks should have a hover effect.

      • All buttons should display a box shadow upon hover.
