Week 2 What did I learn this week?

This week I learned that WordPress is not scary or evil, but a very useful tool in helping to build websites and sell themes to people who do not know how to code.

I also learned that you can use Word Press not just for blogging but also to set up websites for your business, hobby, e-commerce, and so much more.

We made a flower website that taught me how to make widgets, tags, and many more things that help others to find my site.

Week 2 – Learning Journal

Well, it’s already week 2. It’s been a busy summer job hunting, since I last graduated in May. I was on the fence about taking this class this semester since I didn’t know where I was going to be job wise. I knew that I wanted to continue my web skills. I realized after graduation that, I’m only 2 classes away from getting my web certificate, so I figured I’d might as well take the course and continue my learning. I’ve worked in Word Press before so I’m kind of familiar with the platform. I’ve only used the front end of WP, so its interesting to see the back end of it now. I’m looking forward to this semester and see what other new skills I can pick up.

Lisa’s Bio – AAD 87 Fall

Hi, My name is Lisalynn Harper, but I go by Lisa.

Three short things about me are; Favorite color is blue, I have assortment of pets, and I laugh at corny puns/jokes.

I have a eye and fondness for art and design. I really like vector base art, especially the design images that use 4 or less colors to create a full image.

My art history starts in high school when I took my first set of art classes; Studio, Photoshop, and Illustrator. This is when discovered that I really took a liking to Illustrator. Thus starting my journey into Media Design.

At first I wanted to do Traditional/2D animation when I got into college, but after I took some Design and Web Classes I soon moved my college goal to Web design.

AAD87 – Vic’s Bio

My existence is an endless cycle of internal screaming, thinking about sleeping, and chugging unhealthy amounts of ranch dressing. More importantly, I’m a goddess…a siren of the sea…a regal, ethereal being.

My favorite food is the burrito. Rockstar drinks are my lifeblood; the tangerine-guava-mango-strawberry one is the best. Fight me.

Halloween is the best holiday and time of the year. I’ve never missed a day of class in my 5 years at Sierra. Halloween is a Thursday this year. I have a night class. What a pickle this is.

My worthless talent is death metal growling, even though I don’t like the genre.

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.
