Project 1 Reflection

   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 should be embedded into our coding and whatnot.
   At the end, after many tried and a lot of failures, I combined what I had with one of my peer's work and did somehow have it work. This was probably the worst project of my life!! :(

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...
