Every long journey starts with a single step. For a developer, that step is often writing a "Hello World" application or setting up a brand-new space to write and document what they learn. Today, this space is Tech Journal.
Tech Journal is a personal tech blog created with a clear objective: to document my coding milestones, share comprehensive tutorials, and outline design/architecture experiments. By committing to publish weekly or daily articles, I hope to not only solidify my own understanding but also help fellow engineers along their path.
Why a Static Blog?
When choosing a stack for this blog, my primary requirements were simplicity, speed, and clean responsiveness. I decided to build it strictly using HTML and CSS. Here is why:
- Lightning-fast speed: There are no database queries, server-side template executions, or large Javascript bundles loading. It's pure HTML, rendering instantly.
- Easy deployment: Because it consists solely of static assets, it can be hosted for free on platforms like GitHub Pages, Netlify, or Vercel.
- Full control over styling: By writing vanilla CSS, I avoid the constraints and overhead of heavy CSS frameworks.
"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication." — Leonardo da Vinci. This quote forms the core design principle behind this entire website layout.
What's Coming Next?
I plan to write about modern front-end development, responsive styling techniques, clean APIs, and backend architectures. Here is a small preview of the CSS block styling we'll use for code snippets in upcoming posts:
/* A clean modern responsive box styling */
.responsive-box {
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(250px, 1fr));
gap: 1.5rem;
