Project 1 - Congressional App

This was a big project that was to be submitted to congress to enter their Congressional App Challenge 2019. Since there is so much to it, let me start by giving the basic information about the web app. Stop The Vape is the name of our website. It's objective is to spread around and raise awareness to the risks of vaping. It contains the basic information of what you need to know about vaping and also includes statistics that prove our claim. It also has a section for people who want to quit vaping and also an integrated game page. The game is called Project Aerosol and I created it as the team's game developer. It is basically a visual novel story-based game that lets the player make choices revolving around vaping and you get different ending depending on your choices. The moral of this game is to reveal more information about the risks of vaping and why you shouldn't do it. The website as a whole had the purpose of similar standing. Stop The Vape was created by my team o...

Lab #3 - jQuery Library Lab

Within this lab, we referred to a guide that exists at this link,  http://web.mit.edu/6.813/www/sp17/programming-labs/lab2-javascript-jquery/ . This lab consisted of 5 different examples which included selecting elements, getting and setting values, attributes, classes and CSS manipulation, jQuery UI, canvas manipulation, and lastly using a jQuery plugin. There was a lot done within this one lab which can all be explained with the guide (link). A web designer that is able to do all of these tasks will definitely be able to find themselves doing many things for their website. Due to the vast library of code that can be simplified with jQuery, a web designer could make their website very interactive and also allow for many things to happen. Their website could be used for making a blog, making a painting app of some kind, creating a survey page and much more like within this lab.

Lab #2 - My First jQuery

Within this lab, we implement JavaScript and jQuery into a webpage to make it interactive. This was our first lab where we used jQuery to perform actions similar to JavaScript. The actions we were to perform were an alert, prompt, writing in the document, confirm and editing something in the document.  First I added a bio into my page along with a picture to prevent it from looking empty. Then I created two buttons, one named JavaScript and another named jQuery. Within the code, I used jQuery on the jQuery button to perform the given actions and on the JavaScript button, I did the same thing but with JavaScript. The only difference between the two was that after the JavaScript button was clicked, it referred to JS and also gives a welcome message from JavaScript. For the jQuery button, it did the same thing but displayed jQuery instead.  These skills are important for a web designer so they can use alternatives to doing similar things from JavaScript in jQuery instead. Som...

Lab #1 - Home Page

This was the first lab of the school year. Our objective for this lab was to create a home page for our website of Web Client Programming (WCP). This was going to be the index of our WCP folder within our directory. This would also be the main page of our website for our WCP folder and include navigation to get through the entire website. Within the lab, I used HTML and CSS in creating my home page. I used a dark color background with bright-colored text. I then made a table which is what I used for my navigation bar that went to either my home page (reload), labs page, projects page, or my blogger on which you are reading right now. I also added a short bio of myself on the home page along with a picture of me.  These skills are important for a web designer because if they are creating a home page, they would need to know a color scheme that would work and would grab the attention of users. Also, they would need to use some sort of user-friendly navigation to allow the users t...
