Evolution of my personal website

over 2 years ago

Introduction

In January 2019, I began my journey on web development and I started with the internet skeleton: HTML, CSS & JavaScript.

After months of familiarising myself with kind of technologies with which users interact directly on all websites, I started to learn React.

This is an imprint of that learning, experimentation with web design and good practices.

My move to Deno

In June 2022, I first heard about Deno through a friend. For those of you who don't know it, it was created by the same person who created Node.js and he comes to improve all the mistakes he made in Node.js.

Deno's team launched a Framework, Fresh which runs (oh surprise) on Deno and where there is no build step.

So... I'm launching to build my website with Fresh & Deno.
