Hi ddv,

Thanks so much for the compliments!

It took me about 2 weeks to go through Michael Hartl's tutorial, https://www.railstutorial.org/. After I had gone through the tutorial, I still didn't fully grasp some fundamentals like what an MVC framework was; I only figured that out as I started building out my site. I still feel like I can't call myself a developer, since I have a poor understanding of things like JSON and asynchronous stuff.

I had taken an intro course a while ago in college; it was on ANT assembly language and C. So I had some understanding of if/then loops and obscure things like pointers, but I had no understanding of web development and how to create something myself. I also had no knowledge of Javascript or CSS beforehand, and little understanding of HTML. I used Codeacademy to learn the basics, and of course the wonderland, Stack Overflow :)

My next goal is to learn how to create an app, but I haven't found any good resources for that yet.

Let me know if you have any more questions!

Really nice portal. From the design point is quite good, the backgorund palette of colors contrast nicely with the makeup photos. Don't worry too much about technical details, design layout is what clients see on first spot. And your design is quite good !
