I like this article because it gives a pretty comprehensive explanation of different methods to build hamburger menus yet brings the "tech" terms down to a level I can understand. The methods for building hamburger menus are very close to the code provided in our Navigation Assignment, though there are several good variations which I would like to wrap my mind around. At the end of the article, they discuss accessiblity issues with hamburger menus which I hadn't thought about before and they provide explaination and code and to address those issues.
This website gives a lot of neat variations of hamburger menus. The suggested HTML and CSS are quite different than the provided code in our Navigation Assignment. I would like to dive deeper into this resource and reproduce several of these for further understanding. The downfall is that, near the end of the article, they introduce JavaScript, revealing that the article's title is misleading; even so, I believe there is plenty of content here which could increase further understanding of the hamburger menu concepts.
I think this is my favorite resource of the three. First, it is using most of the same methods that we have been provided in our Navigation Assignment with a few addtional concepts. I also like how the article is laid out. It is a comprehensive, step-by-step tutoral which is very easy to follow. Unlike the second resource, the title is not misleading at all; it is truely HTML and CSS only. Like the others, the content provides methods which I would like to reproduce for further understanding of the concepts.
While looking through these, and other hamburger menu resources, I have learned that there are a few different variations for acceptable hamburger menu code. Most of my training at NWTC in Graphic Design has been in finding and applying the "hard and fast" rules for the applications I have been learning. This research assignment has really driven home the idea that there are several "recepies" that will give us similar results. This might be why I found this Hamburger Menu Assignment to be so difficult. There really isn't a "one size fits every coder" rule. This shows me how Website Design can really be a continually changing exercise.
