Hello readers and (my-googlers, I may say :p who finds me
while doing so.)
First of all, I would like to mention that I am not pretty
sure if there is any word like “Updation”, wait…..yes, there is no such word.
It is underlined with the red weird thing. And we all know what that refers to
but I bet you already understood what I meant.oh, sorry, I just dictioned it,
and there is such a word with the definition “The act of updating something.”. My last update of my blog was before
some couple of months ago. i got paused. But it was intentional, I had to
finish school stuffs, you know, exams, checking results, engage in an awkward
situation with ur school friends just to say “Bye”. You don’t know when exactly
u should say that, so u keep urself around and make it more weird. And I am so
delightful there were no parties. I always end up increasing my haters by
promising school friends I will be there in their parties, and on the day, am
home wanking, yeah, gotta be honest with ya. Well, those moments just passed. And
now? Summer! Actually, it has been a
while since summer started, I just had something to finish for our school in
our parents day. Our school website which I was building for years, I just
hosted it and the school wants me to introduce it for the parents (since they
are going to start using it the next year) and here is the website haileschool.com for
those who are concerned about it and for those who spend their time checking
out websites for no reason at all. Anyways, here is a screenshot of the welcome
page(if it can ever inspire you to check it).
I barely did something after that nor I had something to do,
so I just started sticking with FB and reading some books(obviously about web
dev’t) and I came up with something better to do this summer, if you are a web
developer/designer too, I think it will help you out. What is it? Let’s find
out.
I always end up being
confused when I ask myself if I should pursue with a good web developer or designer?
I mean, I am interested in both. (No offense for gays) and call me gay for
this, but I endeavor to cry when I watch awesome graphical videos on TV or
anyplace. I am really interested in graphics designing; I even used to be an
Adobe-man before several years ago. I always wanted to finish learning all
adobe products and make something that can attract anyone. I know what you are
thinking about, you are like “so what? Why don’t u pursue with both?” ***k no!
I will be 12 in the next year and I don’t have time to be good at both. I am
not saying I am bad. But you know, there is no happiness than building a fully functional
(with good programming practice) and a very brilliant design. I actually didn’t
see anything like this made by a single person. Even if there is, he is
probably a framework man who spends his time looking for codeignitor,
bootstrap, and stuff. Even though I use them, I am not a big fan of those who
use those products and yet think he/she is a good web developer and designer.
And yes, am saying I am not good either. Of course, those who use templates and
frameworks in better way are good. But still, not as creative and “perfect”. I
am not saying I am a perfectionist. Am saying, we can be perfect without being
called a perfectionist. :D
“but to do so we must be someone else….we must be something else!”
lol, this is a line from the series movie Arrow
except this time it is “we”. My point is, ya’all developers should
learn how to be independent in designing your application. Especially if you
are working alone like me you should totally be one, independent designer,
because you might not be able to afford those awesome, rarely used and of
course expensive templates out there which can cover most of your to-do lists,
like “making your application responsive, making it look good, making it unique
and so”. But it is still lame to use a template. I still suggest you to train
yourself how to design perfectly. And more importantly how to make your application
get responsive enough to serve all kinds of users, including blacks. Am kidding, am talking about
users device and platforms. Some developers design using only their PC and
cries when their friends check out their app using their PC. So for me, a good
web developer and designer is a one who doesn’t use any kind of frameworks and
plugins to design his neatly written application. One who writes his code from
scratch and never googles any helper plugins and frameworks. Are you this guy? If so, You are my hero!
Because I am not that hero yet! But I am better. I mean, my codes are neat
enough and I know a good design. And I can do a good design….but when it comes
to responsiveness, all I think about is my dead Dog “bobby”.no its not booby. Its
bobby. Jeez.
But now a days, people started to use templates and their
project is easily accepted by any company. And I don’t blame any of them. The giver
and the receiver. I think it is fair. But we developers should keep in mind we
are getting doomed too. I think we shouldn’t stop writing designs. We should
practice making our own templates. Because when that day comes, we all are
going to be job bless. Wonder what “that” day is referring to? I meant the day
when all the templates are used and using them started to be obvious. The day
when your boss stand next to you and wants to see you coding your own design. That
day my friend is the time you give up on all your work, on all your dreams…take
your properties from the office, go home, tell your dad what happened, go to
drink with him…met this hot chick in the grocery, she tells you she owns a
software company, she hires you, she stand next to you and wants to see you
code your own design…..LOOP! lol, I think you get my point, “Don’t be template
and framework dependent!”.
Thanks for reading!
