Mediterranean cuisine is characterized by the color, flavor and aroma of its recipes and many of them are the legacy of other civilizations that were dedicated to bring seeds from the East to the West and that enclose the wisdom of other times.

Recipes which have been kept alive until our days and that teach us to combine the products of the land, such as olive oil, with those of other faraway places like saffron.

The combinations and special touches like garlic sautéed with smoked paprika are what characterize to Mediterranean cuisine in a unique way, giving it an own and unmistakable style.

Good design's not about what medium you're working in. It's about thinking hard about what you want to do. And what you have to work with before you start.

My first Portfolio

A page within another page

In I started a selection course to get a scholarship for a Front-Web course with Udacity. At the time, I knew absolutely nothing. With the knowledge acquired, after spending many hours of study every day for several months, I was able to design my first portfolio.
It was a great challenge for me! I am very proud and I still see it with great affection.
You can move around the small screen and see my first project and open the different links. Full page view


SlideShow Carousel

CSS @keyframes Rule

When I was creating a photo to see the effect of the page on different screen sizes, the photo appears at the bottom of this page, I thought, well, if I animate this, I already have my movie!.
I specify CSS styles inside the @keyframes rule, then, the animation gradually change from the current style to the new style at certain times.
The result is an automatic slideshow, changing the slide every 10 seconds.
CSS allows animation of HTML elements without using JavaScript or Flash!


Caesar Cipher

An encryption algorithm

One of five JavaScript projects to earn the JavaScript Algorithms and Data Structures certification of freeCodeCamp, issued

The Caesar cipher is named for Julius Caesar, who used an alphabet where decrypting would shift three letters to the left. And, ROT13 is a special case of the encryption algorithm known as a Caesar cipher.

Write your text for encoding or decoding, use the same area, the one on the left. You just have to choose with the buttons. And, you can use numbers and symbols like:

! " ' , - . : ; ? _

Pay attention, now you are writing the coded message and you want to know what it says.

This game reminded me of very old times, and it's not that I'm an old person.., but it's been a long time since then. When I was in high school, my friends and I had discovered that Leonardo D'Vinci wrote in code, we obviously loved the discovery and started practicing.

When I shared the game, other people told me the same thing, they wrote in code creating figures like those of the Egyptian hieroglyphics...

We were teenagers!


Flip card

CSS 3D Transforms.

In this portfolio, I have introduced some projects from my first portfolio, ideas that I liked like the rotation of an image or the round points that look like hemispheres. The code to rotate in 3D, I learned in the w3Schools tutorial, I only changed the decoration and now I do a slightly different presentation.

Flexible Box Model

composition of several photographs with recipes and subtitles to indicate the different sections of the blog.

I learned the structure for a magazine with the freeCodeCamp exercises. In the structure that I present I made some changes, such as using flex box model in addition to working on the frames of the images. And changes even within the structure, I use a descriptive list.

How I define "luck"?

For me, it is the point where opportunity and being prepared for it intersect.

And that's what happened to me when I got the email from Google | Atelier Digital, announcing the launch of a series of Google-sponsored scholarships in partnership with Udacity.

My start in this area of knowledge was incredibly fantastic, it was the best entry and thanks to it I am writing this project.

It is true that later I did other courses, but that was only possible because I have a good base, without which it would have been quite difficult for me.
