@AfiMaameDufie - LGTM I agree with @TimOsahenru. A featured image would be great to add. |
|
In my commits, I removed large images since the checks were failing. I found it hard to compress the pictures; I tried a couple of times for the feature image. I will try again at the end of the day and revert. |
I understand this issue. One suggestion would be to convert the file to webp (I can help you with that) and compress it down to the maximum size it needs to be (likly 1920x1080 or smaller). |
ohhh, webp, thanks! Will do that and push again. |
|
@AfiMaameDufie not sure if this helps, but you can also try using this online tool https://imageresizer.com/ to resize the image. |
|
Pushed again @TimOsahenru |
|
@AfiMaameDufie I think we have the provision to display the other images you've included, it's fine to leave them. Thanks |

@AfiMaameDufie - great work on this.
My changes are minor nitpicks (naming and some formatting)
assets/images/bpd1.webp
Outdated

I would name this something a little more specific like bpd-ghana-first-meetup-1.webp
assets/images/bpd3.webp
Outdated

I would name this something a little more specific like bpd-ghana-first-meetup-3.webp (what happened to two?)

@AfiMaameDufie were you able to rename the files to something that would be more easily identifiable. |

| One of the highlights was an interesting story from an attendee about why he fell in love with Python. “ During my undergraduate studies at KNUST as an engineering student, I was tasked with creating sinusoidal plots and was free to use any programming language. Initially, I used MATLAB but found it somewhat challenging. After some research, I discovered Python, which was much easier to learn. In no time, I could generate beautiful plots using the matplotlib library. This marked the beginning of my journey with Python, eventually leading to proficiency in Django and the development of various applications. In 2020, I returned to Ghana at the peak of COVID-19. I found it challenging to find a job as a biomedical engineer, so I decided to pivot to tech in healthcare, leveraging my experience in writing and developing simple applications. Since the hospital didn't have a software engineer, delivering those services fell on me. I transitioned from developing command-line applications to creating and deploying full-stack applications. Although being the sole developer and handling all aspects of the software development lifecycle was tough, it allowed me to learn a lot, all on my own. Using Django and other Python packages made the process more manageable. Looking back, I realize that choosing Python was worth it ” ~ Douglas Amo-Sargon. | ||
