Lab 8 Reflection

Image
   Well, for Lab 8, after several weeks of learning various skills using Javascript and Jquery, Mrs. Ramirez has been challenging these skills itself by giving us troubleshooting labs. Our task for this lab was to fix a broken website so that every time you reload a text box including a quote, the quote would change to another that's already inside the code. When I say that the website is broken, I mean that the quote won't change every time you either refresh or reload the site. I used jQuery to fix the code and fixed the id of the broken code in order to use it for the new website with all of the troubleshooting in place. I added the link to my jQuery Library in order for my jQuery functions to work in my website. At the end, everything worked out fine and the quotes changed after each refresh.    Overall, this lab was sort of difficult. I see why its hard in general to troubleshoot because you have to get used to figuring out several ways to get to a solu...

Lab 7 Reflection

     Well, for Lab 7, after several weeks of learning various skills using Javascript and Jquery, Mrs. Ramirez has been challenging these skills itself by giving us troubleshooting labs. This lab was focused on troubleshooting and using online resources in order to figure out the solution. Our task was to make the tabs on the right of the website only show one tab once refreshed and when clicking the other tabs, it will show one by one.  Since this was an interactive sort of website, what we had to do was add an onclick function, which is javascript, to the html code for the id of the title of each tab. After you add the onclick function, the function once clicked on the title, it pop ups to show the title.    Overall, this lab was sort of difficult. I see why its hard in general to troubleshoot because you have to get used to figuring out several ways to get to a solution regardless of the situation. This troubleshooting practice gives us a preview of...

Project 1 Reflection

Image
   So, Project 1 was LITERALLY something else. After a couple of labs for the first marking period, Mrs. Ramirez gave us this huge project which obviously took time. We thought it'd be an okay project and that we'd be able to finish it in no time. But, that was obviously not the plot here. The whole class was totally fooled and confuzzled on what they had to do for this project. Well, this project's objective was to create pop-ups on time of a filmed video of ourselves explaining our 3-year experience in the academy already. These pop-up images had to be done with only coding, the images we had to create, and we didn't properly get to be shown how to do this. It took me FOREVER to complete this!!! I have never done something so hard to troubleshoot and such a brain twister like this one. It really had crying AND sweating tears from the stress trying to complete this project, yet I had no real clue on how to do so. I got a lot of peer feedback on ideas and how that shoul...

Lab 6 Reflection

Image
   Continuing what Lab 5 previously was, Lab 6 was the continuation of the whole JavaScript Review. I feel like she kept on doing these sort of continuing labs because it would strengthen our coding skills and help us remember how to work with JS even better. So for Lab 6, we were given 3 different assignments in this one lab. The first part dealt with a form having 4 separate fill-ins; the first 3 had to be able to plug in any number and the last 4th one would be able to calculate from such values. It was a Gas Mileage sort of example. The second part dealt with making a tiny "slideshow", but everyone felt it was more of a gif because it only consisted of 2 pictures going back and forth about every second. Gif sounded cooler anyways. So, we used two different pictures of our faces and applied it in the coding. The last part, I wasn't so sure what it was about, but all I know was that you'd put in a number which is your age and it would appear at the top and change th...
