Maciej Preus - (mainly) internet sites
About me
What I do
I develop various internet sites. I put main efforts on two elements: design and responsiveness. This means that the internet sites should gain your attention by colors, shapes, actions and be displayed properly on the devices of various size. I'm still learning new technologies, following trends in both user experience (UX) and responsive web design (RWD).
Beginnings
My interest in programming grew along with negative experiences with some web pages. They were not intuitive - it was so hard to find desired info, they had poor graphic design (quality, colors and shapes), they loaded slowly, and lastly, they were outdated, with links leading to nowhere. In autumn 2018 I tried some on-line courses, initially learning actively HTML and CSS as well as general programming rules. Then I was pulled in. Quickly HTML and CSS were not enough and I decided that I had to acquire new skills and tools.
What now
This is the way which led me to the intensive front-end "JavaScript (React)" course in IT school Coders Lab in Warsaw, where I expanded my skills in HTML and CSS and got good basics of preprocessor SASS, as well as JavaScript (+ES6), and jQuery. I also acknowledged Node.js environment and responsive web design (RWD) rules. Additionally, I taught myself fundamentals of Bootstrap4. After completing the bootcamp (August 2019) I still strenghten and deepen my knowledge and skills on my own. A good advertisement of it are my projects presented on this site and my GitHub repositories.

This is a landing page, however with some features and functionalities made with JavaScript: slider and calculator imitating ordering a chair.

Balanced life style - moderation in tasting life gives lots of pleasures. Keeping the body fit at satisfactory level (regular exercise, leaving your car on the parking and walking rather than driving around the city center) rewards while fulfilling your intelectual tasks. That's what I do!
