"GLAM UP MY MARKUP" Submission Template.

_This is a submission for DEV Challenge v24.03.20, Glam Up My Markup: Camp Activities_✨

## What I Built

<!-- Tell us what you built and what you were looking to achieve. -->

Starting with the provided HTML, I built a form to gather data from prospective camp participants. Beautifully styled with CSS, I employed JavaScript to make it interactive. It has a dynamic and attractive beach-camp background. The original HTML was not edited.

## Demo
<!-- Show us your project! You can directly embed an editor into this post (see the FAQ section from the challenge page) or you can share an image of your project and share a public link to the code. -->

## My Journey
<!-- Tell us about your process, what you learned, anything you are particularly proud of, what you hope to do next, etc. -->
A green-horn, I joined the DEV community a day after the challenge was announced. As a self-tutored coding student, I felt it was a good opportunity to try my new and developing skills in the public domain. Perhaps, I could learn a lot more from others by participating. 
I chose ‘Glam up My Markup’ because I am currently learning HTML, CSS and JavaScript. I feel it is time to begin applying what I learn to small projects. I attempted working in Codepen to enable me embed my project directly in the submission template, but found it’s an environment I’m not yet quite familiar with. So I stuck with VScode with which I am more at home.

At first, I found it difficult to create what I had in mind without touching the starting HTML, but refused to be deterred by that challenge. Not sure of other options then, I initially gave IDs and classes to the HTML.  I also added break tags(br) right in the HTML  file to improve the semantics/structure  of  the form. These were to lay foundations for the CSS codes. But then, determined to stick to the instructions, I decided to spend some time studying the DOM to see if I could learn how to add some flare to the HTML via JavaScript without touching the HTML. Thankfully, I was able to gain some insight on the DOM. Then I undid my previous touching on the HTML, except for two specific edits for the purpose of Event Listeners. I eventually cleared that up after using arrays along side _document.getElementByTagNames_ selectors.

###Please, for you all to note: 
_This is my first time in an official dev challenge_
Like I said earlier, I joined the community only a day before the challenge was announced; and I am really new to coding. I am actually submitting my project late because I was learning new tricks to give it the best I can for now. That takes time!

Since this is my very first time writing a post, it may not be quite forthcoming, but I believe I'll learn as we go. 

###So pals,
Through new knowledge, I eventually created the project nearly as I conceived; without touching a single line of the HTML.
And if you notice, my project presents transiting background shades. Yep! there has to be day and night camp times after all ([linear gradient animation](https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/func_linear-gradient.php).

And for me, the result feels great, given my basic knowledge and experience in the HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

### Finally,
 _**I will really appreciate any comments and ideas on how I can improve on the project. I really look forward to growing with this community.**_

Hopefully, I will be coming back stronger🕵️‍♂️ ; 

 _**more knowledge better projects*_


Thanks to dev.to for uploading this challenge 😍
It has really ~~helped~~ forced me to improve on my coding skills.
