Wk 10&9 what we learned

The field trip was amazing, like totally amazing. It really helped me find out what I need to to do and where I am in my readiness for the field. It helped with learning what we need, what to look for, and how to start.

Personally, it so showed me that I need to work on my skill a tad bit more before considering for an internship. But the whole experience really showed me what companies look for and what I need to improve on in my skill.

Also, the Bakery Site project really helped really helped me on creating , my midterm. It help me understand how to use the media query for having the website go from phone to tablet to web.

Git and Github

week 13

Git and Github was interesting to use. Every thing has a simple command but remembering the order and commands take some time to remember. But after using it a bit I can kinda understand how to use it.

Even though it take a hot second to learn, I can see how it can be really useful when building a website without having to worry about losing progress with random program fails.

week 15 Parallax fun

We learned what and how to use Parallax in our websites. I really liked this lesson and I am trying to use it in my final. I found it pretty cool on how you can make the items have different distant in the web page. The whole lesson really made me stop and think about all the websites I’ve seen use this and made me want to explore using it.

Wk 14 – What I’ve Learned

I like the fact that we were given a second round to accustom ourselves to using git and GitHub to save our progress on our work. It’s a really simple but genius idea on how to backtrack if someone makes a mistake down the line. I’ve learned that saving to GitHub basically consists of 4 commands:

  • git status
  • git add .
  • git commit -m “comment”
  • git push

And that’s basically it! One giant fancy “save” to your Git repository on GitHub.

Then, on Thursday, we looked over and studied “Parallax” and true Parallax. Basically, Parallax means objects closer to you feel they are moving faster than objects in the back while you are moving. It’s similar to looking at buildings in a cityscape drift by as you are viewing out the passenger-side window of a moving car.

There is a sort of false “Parallax” which consists of setting an image as a background to a div and allowing it to scroll. This can make for a very interesting and eye-catching effect, but it should be used purposefully, as it can distract away from the main content of the page.

Journal Entry – Week 14 & 15

On the downhill now. It’s been a busy two weeks. Wrapping up all my final projects and making my final website redesign for California Volunteers. I did learn something new regarding SASS and fun little trick with the navigation bar. I had not heard of SASS before so it was interesting to see how it worked and what the purpose of why developers use it.
