Facebook Hackathon Reflection

   SO on Saturday, March 04, 2017, individually the Web Academy family had to attend a hackathon being hosted by Facebook. They were being sponsored by many other companies. Anyways, it all started at exactly 8:00 in the morning. (Quite early compared to our first one) I met up with a couple of the early birds like Anvinh, Ashahi, Diondre, and Malik. When we first stepped into the building, it felt so luxurious and so much excitement came into mind waiting for me to look forward to the day. The breakfast was OKAY, they gave out my all time favorite beverage: COFFEE and a pretty wide variety of bagels with either the options to spread butter or cream cheese. Next time, they should ass jelly somewhere in there or a toaster so at least the bread is enjoyable to eat. After breakfast, most of the class started coming in and getting settled down meanwhile, others were making up their teams made of 2-3 people. I was in group of 3 including myself, Ayoub and Veronica!! We made a team logo, banner and started brainstorming beforehand since we had an idea of what was gonna be asked of us. Once they did tell us what our objective of the day was, all of the teams set up would be given a mentor to get any sorts of help from. My team was working on time until we came to the part of actually coding an APP on AppLab, which we never used before in class nor had any sorts of experience with beforehand. This was my biggest struggle throughout the whole day. My team was very supportive and helped me a lot along the way and just in time, we were all able to complete our own project with our own text responses. For lunch, we had some sandwiches and water and finally for dinner, we had dominos pizza with some soda, which really tasted good! The whole day was tiring and stressful but I had a blast just being around my classmates and having a good time. We all learned something new at the end of the day and it really felt good getting more experience in coding Javascript!
   To conclude, this hackathon was truly fullfilling and made me feel a bit more confident in my work. Having those 10 hours of practice for APCSP Exam made me feel like I'll be able to manage my time more and be more efficient in the work I create and produce. I now have a true real idea of what the real test may be like and I feel like I'm ready for it now!

Project 2 Reflection

   In project 2, the main purpose or objective needed to achieve was to explicitly elaborate on our favorite toon character using the newly learned skills from css. Growing up, my favorite character was Pink Panther since he was crazy and funny! He was always my most preferred that I bought a lot of merchandise based off of him. The site would contain 4 links, which were, The Homepage of the Site, The About Page speaking about the character and how it came about in order for it to be aired, The Process Page which states how the whole site was completed in time with the troubles I went through and the last page would be the Copyright Page which named all of the owner's rights and whatnot.
   There were some troublesome and simple parts about making this site. A troublesome part about this site I experienced difficulty with was the point at which I was attempting to locate the correct measurements for each photo. The simple piece of this site was while making the route bar that would interface me to each of alternate pages that I needed to make.
   To conclude, I found this project to be challenging yet simple. Most of the skills I improved on throughout this project would be used for further work and projects and labs. I tried my best to give the site full copyright and tried my absolute best to do my best in the time span we got. Sure I had a couple of obstacles but I had peers that would help me. Making a site is vital for turning into a Web Designer since that is the motivation behind this class and I can utilize these abilities I learned for a future employment that needs to do with planning sites.

CTE Expo Reflection

   On February 15, 2017, the CTE Academies (Web Design & Video) always have an event in which the student of every academy and every grade inside that academy display the work they have recently finished in order to catch the attention of other freshman who have the true potential and interest in order to join any academy. The CTE Expo is an opportunity for freshman who really want to be part of a STEM related academy. OF COURSE, the Web Academy is the BEST! Therefore, we the students of Web Design Academy show off all of our work and interact with the 9th graders and convince them to want to join to this academy. With such a large number of freshman this year, just 30 seats are accessible so the most elite can just join.
   There were a couple of wrongdoings but enjoyable actions during CTE Expo 2017. It started since first period and ended till the last period of the day which is 9th period. It was truly a great experience, like always, compared to last year. Some 9th graders are usually shy or don't speak up, being afraid to open up and ask any questions. This happened throughout the EXPO! I would enhance this with each Web Design Academy understudy taking one of the first year recruit when they come in and indicate them are the space to see the majority of the work while conversing with them about what Web Design is about so that nobody is deserted, clueless, and it is flawless and systematic.
   The things that were enjoyable and worked out nicely throughout CTE Expo 2017 was the way that a ton of the work was appeared on the PCs and there were a great deal of tri-folds to demonstrate the ninth graders. The collaboration with the ninth graders was an enhance than a year ago as I would like to think too. We simply need to stay aware of the diligent work and enhance our abilities to make a site and our communication aptitudes with the rookie. Likewise, the apparel worn amid the Expo was exceptionally proficient as for the most part everybody was wearing business clothing/easygoing, as we need to get used to wearing that sort of garments to set us up for when we are landing a position.
   The CTE Expo is truly useful for me as not exclusively does this make me get happy with wearing proficient clothing, yet it likewise assists with my talking abilities for when I need to converse with individuals balanced or talking out in the open. Talking is a vital expertise to have in the business world and I have to enhance it. Talking and clarifying code is vital to demonstrate the comprehension of the point and I can't flounder for when I talk, so the CTE Expo is an incredible chance to clarify coding that has been done and indicate individuals how it happens. The CTE Expo was a fun experience and Web Design is the BEST AND MOST AMAZING ACADEMY EVER!!WEB IS BETTER THAN VIDEO!!!!

Lab 11 Reflection

   Lab 11 is the last wireframe for the Respect For All project. The main points in completing in this lab was to include shading, finish my textual styles, and have an enhanced blueprint in view of the criticism of my Lab 10 drafts. This wireframe is vital as it will indicate what I will put in my site and the format of how it ought to look with the textual styles and hues.
   There were a few troubles when I was making the last wireframe on the grounds that I was confounded on how I ought to make the format of this site and didn't comprehend what textual styles or hues to use for the content or foundation. After I got a great deal of advice and tips from the class and the educator, I understood that my underlying format was the best fit than the other one introduced, so I stayed with the design appeared below and worked with it.
   I learned the skill of being able to take feedback from my peers and teachers in order in how you can enhance and improve it so more individuals will come and view it. Helpful feedback is dependably, something to be thankful for to have as there will dependably be opportunity to get better. This will be extremely valuable for up and coming labs and projects and works as I will take what I realized and think about it while making another wireframe.

Lab 10 Reflection

For lab 10 we assume to make a wire outline for venture 3. Fundamentally we need to make a diagram for venture 3 , with the goal that I can get a thought on where to put my flag, pictures, joins, route bar, and so on.

Initially I need to make 3 drafts for landing page. For the principal draft I need to make essential blueprint about how the page will resemble. Second draft include some particular data and in conclusive draft as can see above, pick shading and genuine data that i'm going to include landing page. So as to make the outline(lab 10) I utilized Photoshop CS6 and afterward change over the psd document into pdf. I additionally made the drafts for my other three pages that will be in my venture.

Project 3 Reflection

 Respect For All is a critical point to discuss as there are individuals in this world who are one-sided and slight individuals for their identity and what they have faith in. The theme that I secured for Respect For All is Animal Cruelty. Animal Cruelty to me is quite a crucial topic to touch upon on. Personally, I feel like every animal had rights and shouldn't be exposed to any harsh and gruelsome life! It's wrong and believing in the Catholic Church, I speak with utmost passion that God made animals and all life in order for it to cherished and taken care of. Why would one do the absolute opposite? It's sickening to me simply thinking of it. Therefore, I support the stop to animal cruelty!

The skills I learned along the way well be extremely useful as I get the chance to find out about how individuals need to regard religion and not instantly think one way, but rather investigate with the assets furnished with us. Likewise, with making or attempting to make an expert site, I figured out how to make new things with CSS like adding a footer to the base of the page to demonstrate my name, copyright, and fake contact data. It was an exceptionally accommodating venture to do and I took in a considerable measure amid my time doing this and will most likely utilize this later on for when I need to outline a site.

Lab 9 Reflection

   The reason for Lab 9 is to discuss what my arrangement is for the up and coming AP PT Exam that I am going to take for AP Computer Science Principles with Mrs. Ramirez. Utilizing, CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), I made my arrangement for what I will do to ensure that I am set up for the AP Exam. I plan to concentrate a ton and ensure that the subject that I will utilize will have enough data and will be a decent mechanical advancement that will profit society.
   What I did to make this arrangement was utilize Adobe Dreamweaver with a HTML record and an outer CSS document to make my site look satisfying. I made the background a shade of pink and the shade of my heading the color of maroon. CSS makes a site stand out with its attributed and various styles in order to save time from repeating the same code over and over again. I utilized the body { background-color } tag and the h1{font-color} tag to change the shading. I utilized the <p> tag to make every section and <li> tag to make the rundown.
   Learning CSS will be exceptionally valuable for making sites look all the more speaking to take a gander at and will help me improve as a Web Designer. I feel that the way you present your site describes your skills and creativity at hand. People can see how you express yourself and the way you try to express yourself and try to take that in with the details you add. CSS will definitely change the way my sites will be seen from a regular html doc. to a more specified css. doc.
