🎉 Major milestone: Just pushed my first project to GitHub!
Built an expense tracker from scratch using professional development practices:
✅ Semantic HTML5 with accessibility in mind
✅ Pure CSS framework for responsive, mobile-first design
✅ Professional setup with HTML5 Boilerplate and proper project structure
✅ Git version control from day one
✅ Strategic planning for full-stack JavaScript integration
I've been using #Claude as a technical mentor to avoid tutorial hell. That way, I can focus on real problem-solving and professional practices instead of just copying code.
I'm trying to be well-rounded from the start: Setting up proper tooling, making architectural decisions, and building with accessibility and responsiveness in mind. It takes time but I think it'll make for a solid foundation and help me be more job-ready.
Next phase: Adding JavaScript functionality to make it fully interactive, then deploying it live for public use.
