Project #1 Reflection

  For this project, my work was basically accumulation of all the other skills learned from Lab 1 to Lab 7. This is my first project in this semester and I can honestly say without a doubt that it has been the most stressful work I've done yet. There was a lot of coding involved that was being used on Text Edit, as usual. For each html document made, we used the same format we always do which includes, the title, heading, body, center and h1,h2,h3,etc. Each html would be a webpage for either one of the movies, the copyright page(sources) or the actual index which would later become to be the homepage for our whole entire website/project. I used outside pictures for the movies covers and backgrounds but I personally created the logos and banners for each page that you'll see when you cruise on my website! I kept a well structured format on my project with tables and a clear theme of each movie. This project was mainly to create a website with inter-linked pages to them; it was somewhat simple but took a lot of hard work and time. I used FileZilla as well, which is both a client and server in order for our actual links to work so that Mrs. Ramirez can see our work on her computer. She can't always access everyone's work so she needs a way in order to evaluate them; FileZilla makes this possible! I somewhat also enjoyed this experience since I feel more confidence to create professional made websites. At the end of this long process, I felt huge relief since after so many hours coding, I could see my outcome and felt so proud and accomplished at what I had created. I thank the peers who helped me out throughout this gruel-some project. I learned a couple of things like always noticing whether I closed a bracket or not or whether there's any space in between sensitive coding. Project #1 had truly been a challenge but I was pleased with it.

Studio Code Protocol Reflection

Develop Your Protocol Develop a protocol that allows you to use Internet Stimulator to relay a 2-bit message, i.e.  one member sends a message and the other member send the same message back. You or a teacher will say "Go" to begin the exchange, but otherwise at communication must be through the widget. As you're working, consider:
How will you know when the exchange is supposed to begin?
-  By creating a signal, or a specific message that will let us both know when to exactly start and with which specific protocol.
How will you know whose turn it is to send or receive the message?
- We'll both give a thumbs up when we send each other or receive a message.
How will you coordinate your actions? 
- Through simple hand gestures, we tell each other beforehand what they mean so we can later use them.

A binary message consisting of four bits was sent to you by a friend. The message was supposed to be ABAB. Unfortunately, your friend set the bit on the wire once every 2 seconds, but you read the wire once every second. Assuming that the first bit was sent and read at the same time, what message did you receive instead?
- AABB
 

A binary message was recorded as a wave as shown in the image below. Can you decode the message? Explain what information you would need in order to successfully decode the message into A’s and B’s.

- I would need the seconds of when each bit was sent during which state. I would also need to know what is a "yes" or a "no" which is whether it'll be a A or a B. I can't decode this message clearly yet. 

Lab 7 Reflection

   In this lab, we basically used all the skills we had learned since Lab 1 to Lab 6 and made it into one piece. As always, we used TextEdit in order to create a new HTML document that would allow me to create a webpage. In all honesty, I really stressed so much on this one lab due to the amount of coding that had me confused. I had a lot of peers help me out and somewhat try to fix up my mistakes. I was a little confused in the beginning about this lab as well, since I wasn't sure of what Mrs. Ramirez meant by some coding terms. At the end, I had it figured it out. For this lab, I had to create a directory of all my labs made till' now. I used the basic coding and tags like <html> , <center> , <head> , <title> , <h1> , etc. That was the easy part, I had to then figure out how big to create the table and being able to put my work into choronological order for the webpage to work. I had a lot of help here. To conclude my work, I had to upload my lab onto Fireworks, then make the link for techteach.us. I had a lot of fun but then again a lot of frustration during this process. I will use these skills for later labs and projects!

Lab 6 - Nameplate & Title Design

    In this lab, I created a banner and name plate. I used Adobe Photoshop CS6 for this process. It should've been an easy lab overall, but I stressed it really bad. I still came out with really good work. I used colors and textures for my banner. I used the colors I loved the most and felt gave colorful work to my banner. I put the course name and my name on the banner in 3D form/style. Then, I worked with my name plate. This was the easiest part of the whole lab. I used a picture of my own and made it the background by dimming it. Later, I used a bright color for my name in order to make it out pop out from the background. I guess I enjoyed this lab overall. I had help from peers. I will use these skills later on for labs and projects.
