Lab 24 Reflection

 Lab 24 was the eleventh video to the whole Javascript30 series and what I have to do for this one is to be able to implement a video from vimeo and have it actually up and running using Javascript in order to change how slow the characters move or how fast they talk. The first thing I actually did was style my website, so I added a moving gif in the back and added a nice google font for my headings. Afterwards came the hard part. Watching the video and doing the coding at the same time can get super complicated and annoying sometimes. If you miss one single step or don't understand what the function does, then the coding itself isn't even worth it and the website won't work. So, I had to be very careful with the way I was writing out the Javascript since many times, it wouldn't work for some reason. I did a lot of troubleshooting and it took me about two days to get the original video to even work. At the end, this practice felt useful as I can use these skills for future labs and projects if I want to add several more options to the way the video can be played.
  Overall, this lab was sort of hard for me. It was some sort of practice given to us by the teacher so that our knowledge in programming keeps expanding and whatnot. It was actually really fun doing this as we got to be creative. I will try to add this sort of practice in my future labs, projects or index for either or. The skills to be original will be needed in future jobs and opportunities.

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...
