Learning log: 2022
My focus this year was on the display of unstructured data i.e. articles. So that meant a deep dive into typography, and the redesign and rebuild of this website. On this page you'll find links to all the resources I used.
2022 goals
My primary learning goal for 2022 was to gain a deeper understanding of the online presentation of unstructured content.
In addition to understanding the basics, I also wanted to be able to put what I had learnt into practice. This required the continuation of my deep dive into HTML & CSS, and a total redesign and rebuild of this website—with a focus on typography and speed.
In addition to my primary goal, I also made a start on the understanding, querying, and manipulation of structured data, as this will be my focus for 2023.
Below is a list of the resources I used during 2022 to help me achieve my learning goals.
