Alright, let’s dive into my experience tackling the “brett witt” thing. It was a journey, lemme tell ya.
So, I stumbled upon Brett Witt’s work – I think it was a video on YouTube, or maybe a blog post, can’t quite remember. The gist of it was about streamlining some coding workflow, and I thought, “Hey, that sounds kinda neat.” I’m always looking for ways to be less of a clumsy coder.
First thing I did was try to find more of his stuff. Googled “brett witt”, obviously. Found his website, and spent a good hour just browsing around. He had some interesting articles on CSS and JavaScript tips that immediately caught my eye.
Okay, time to actually do something. I picked one of his simpler tutorials – I think it was about using CSS variables to make theming easier. I’d heard about CSS variables before, but never really dug in. So, I fired up my code editor (VS Code, natch), and started following along.
The tutorial was pretty straightforward, which was good. He explained things clearly, and wasn’t afraid to show his own struggles. That’s always reassuring when you’re learning something new. I basically copied his code, line by line, and then tweaked it to fit my own project – a little personal portfolio site I’ve been tinkering with forever.
Ran into a few snags, naturally. Had a weird issue with the CSS not updating properly – turns out I had an old version of the stylesheet cached in my browser. Cleared the cache, and boom, problem solved. Felt pretty dumb, but hey, that’s coding, right?
Then, I tried implementing another technique he showed – something about using JavaScript to dynamically change the CSS variables based on user input. That was a bit trickier. My JavaScript skills are, shall we say, “rusty”. I had to do a lot of Googling and Stack Overflow-ing to get it working right.
Eventually, I got it all figured out. And honestly? It was pretty awesome. My portfolio site now has a little theme switcher that lets users choose different color schemes. It’s not a groundbreaking feature, but it looks cool, and it’s something I built myself, thanks to Brett Witt’s tips.
Key takeaways:
- Brett Witt’s stuff is pretty approachable. Good for beginners who want to level up their web dev skills.
- Don’t be afraid to copy code. That’s how you learn. Just make sure you understand what it’s doing.
- Google is your friend. And Stack Overflow is your even better friend.
Would I recommend checking out Brett Witt’s work? Absolutely. He’s got some solid content that can definitely help you improve your web development skills. Just be prepared to put in the work and get your hands dirty.
