Lab 1 Reflection

   Well, after trying to settle down from a busy summer experience and once again reuniting with the whole Web Design class, we were given our very first lab no less than a week into the beginning of school. I guess you can say we were kind of excited to start learning about Javascript and JQuery again but we felt that it was too soon into the school year to begin. :( Regardless, Mrs. Ramirez went over so many things that we had forgotten throughout the course of the summer with tags, starting a document, setting up the document, how to save the file. etc. It was very useful since we were all lost.
   So for Lab 1, we were given the assignment to create a simple and practical website for our homepage for this year (WCP2017-2018) based off of a wireframe. We created this wireframe in under 30 minutes that should include all the basic skills we have learned with CSS and HTML and spice it up by adding Javascript and JQuery. We jotted all that down on our physical copy of our wireframe; for example: where exactly CSS will be used, how is javascript going to influence the movement of the site, how will jquery change the positioning of the website itself, etc. After Mrs. Ramirez checked the wireframes to see if it met the requirements, we were given another period in order to CREATE that actual wireframe and bring it alive online. I have to admit it was pretty hard to make it all at once and I didn't accomplish what I wanted by the end of the period.
   At the end, my website wasn't so great but it was only a sample anyways. I will try to pick up on my time management skills more.

Lab 29 Reflection

Image
 Lab 29 was the sixteenth video to the whole Javascript30 series and what I have to do for this one was to have text where it would have many different shades of colors to it when moving the mouse all over the page. So basically, I customized the website so that it would have the word "WOAH!" and many different colors that would go with the background gif I found on the internet. The background gif actually comes from a tv show I used to watch and its pig that blinks named Waddles. I really like how Waddles is right in the middle giving this simple website some color and vibrant vibes. The pink header fit in with my background perfectly and having the words be of various other colors, it was able to stand out from the almost dominant pink background.    Overall, this lab was fairly simple and easy to finish in my opinion. It was easy to change things up in the menu in order to personalize the website. all I had to do was have a text that would have more text move wh...

Dropbox Trip Reflection Journal 04/24

Image
    So, while sophomores were taking PSATS and juniors were also taking SATS, a couple of us lucky Web seniors were able to go on an exciting trip to Dropbox. It was located near 23rd street on either the E or M train, which was very convenient for all of us. We had to be there at around 12:45pm, which was not possible and ended up getting there a little after 1. It affected us negatively as we were behind schedule, as well the Dropbox people said, so couldn't fully enjoy their working space and environment.     We got to the building and Dropbox was located on one of the floors. The other floors were also occupied by other companies such as SoundCloud, which I found to be very cool. Anyways, we take the elevator to go up to them and are greeted by this nice and warm lobby. We meet the lady named Sarah, which hosted the whole event for us. After greeting one another, we were finally able to walk in through the glass doors leading to office. Walking in, it felt like ...

Lab 17 Reflection

Image
   Javascript30 is an intense coding program which is free and anybody can join. It is designed to be able to complete 30 days worth of several Javascript aspects and skills in the matter of 30 hours or so. We had to watch a video for each day, which in them the guy would explain step by step to have the various skills of Javascript to function properly on any HTML Page. Lab 17 was the fourth video to this whole series and basically all you had to do was check the console of the page. You can check my right clicking on the mouse or using two fingers on a mac and you'll see some sort of tabs pop-up. You would click on the one that says "Inspect" and you'll be able to thoroughly look through the code and the console itself. In the coding, I wrote a lot about people's first and last name and years; it was a lot of information and you won't see this on the page but the console, which stores data. At the end, you would just refresh the page and you'll see a lot...
