Practice with CSS grid, as opposed to main use of flex up to now. Both are great tools, and this was a good example of how grid can be beneficial when the layout is known in advance.

Key Coding Concepts

HTML

  • Semantic HTML: The project uses semantic HTML tags like <header>, <div>, and <ul> to structure the content meaningfully.
  • External Resources: The project links external CSS and JavaScript files using <link> and <script> tags.

CSS

  • Grid Layout: The project uses CSS Grid Layout to create a responsive and flexible layout for the dashboard.
  • Flexbox: Flexbox is used for aligning items within containers, such as in the .search, .profile, and .buttons classes.
  • Custom Fonts: Google Fonts are imported and used to style the text.
  • Hover Effects: CSS hover effects are applied to list items and project cards to enhance user interaction.
  • Responsive Design: The CSS ensures that the layout adapts to different screen sizes.

Images and Icons

  • SVG Icons: Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) icons are used for various elements like the sidebar and project links.
  • PNG Images: PNG images are used for profile pictures and other graphical elements.

Project Structure

  • Modular Design: The project is organized into separate files for HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, promoting modularity and maintainability.
  • File Organization: Icons and images are stored in a dedicated icons directory, keeping the project directory clean and organized.

Accessibility

  • Alt Attributes: Images and icons include alt attributes to improve accessibility for screen readers.
  • Keyboard Navigation: The project ensures that interactive elements are accessible via keyboard navigation.

Performance

  • Optimized Images: Using SVG icons and optimized PNG images helps in reducing the load time and improving performance.

These concepts collectively contribute to creating a well-structured, maintainable, and user-friendly admin dashboard.
