Shark Tank Project Reflection

Image
Jhoan Alexander WCP 12.05.19 Homepage to Shark Tank Project Project 2, other known as the Shark Tank Project involved a team consisting of 3 building a website for a client. My team consisted of Noemi, Mahfuzal, and I, we named ourselves AlterO. Our clients which we went on to create a website for was Recycle F.C and AMA. Recycle F.C wanted their website to display their innovative solution of a modern trash-can. But prior to this we conducted an interview with our clients and we gathered all information regarding what exactly they wanted within their website. For example AMA wanted a slideshow in their homepage - we gave it to them. Recycle F.C however was very vague in what exactly they wanted in their website. Roles were shared, Noemi came up with the content, Mahfuzal and I worked on the code and design of both websites. It was a gruesome week which required time management skills. Obstacles we found coming up consistently was with the code, websites can require a lot of co...

Lab 5 Reflection

Image
Jhoan Alexander WCP 10.05.19 Lab 5 Lab 5 involved the use of jQuery to make an object animate. jQuery is a new language which is easy to use since it involves mostly a $ (money since) and code similar to javascript which I'm familiar with. The box will be animated through buttons, buttons which will each individually carry their own function. The buttons included made the object move to a random position, turn into a circle, get bigger, shade, and move anyway wanted. It was very easy to code this. But in order for the jQuery to work I needed to link the jQuery just as like if I were linking an external style sheet. It was overall a great lab to get accustom to using a new programming language. These skills are useful for a web designer because they are not able to animate anything with a simple click, you can add simple animations to any webpage and see the immense difference to the user experience.

Lab 6 Reflection

Lab 6 Jhoan Alexander WCP 12/05/19 Lab 6 was very similar to Lab 5, however lab 6 included a stop animation button. Both labs resembled each other, both using jQuery to animated the box. So all I did was copy the code from my previous lab 5 and use it in my lab 6. But I needed to remember to link the jQuery so that it is able to display. Everything was very similar however now I just needed to add another button which I will need it to revert everything back to how it was originally. So I used a lot of $.('button').click run function.  These skills are important for web designers since the use of animation is needed anywhere and if you're able to embedded it into a website your users will find it intriguing and helpful. Overall a good lab which I developed my skills in jQuery.

19th Century Utensil Jhoan Muy Web Client Programming 12/01/19  Today the first of December, I went to the Metropolitan Museum located by 5th ave. I didn't know what to expect I was just trying to do it as a homework assignment. But I got there and was intrigued by the European Sculptures it was really fascinating. I continued to roam around and found 19th century utensils which they used in Peru a country which is really close to my country Ecuador and it is a possibility that they used the same gold spoons. Everything is fascinating because it all came from previous generations. There was a lot of things which was used in the 19th century which was used by countries now known with names such as Peru and Colombia but I wasn't able to find my home country Ecuador I was really trying to find art related to my country to get a glimpse of what they used but I was able to find art from countries around which isn't to far off considering that in the 19th century countr...

WBL Workshop #2 Reflection

In WBL Workshop #2 OSHA Labor Laws were discussed and analyzed thoroughly because of their extreme importance and duty to keep workers safe. OSHA Labor Laws are a set of laws in the US that are meant to manage and keep the workplace safe. OSHA laws define the rules for youth work, making the minimum age one could work as youth 14 years old, under 18 years old, the worker must have proper working papers, blue for 14-15 year olds and green for 16-17 year olds. There are certain restrictions for when and how much a worker under 18 may work. If school is not in session, a work day may be a maximum of 8 hours, a work week a maximum of 6 days, and hours per week maximum of 48 hours, these numbers being lower if school is in session. Depending on the state an occupation, work can be done anywhere between 6 AM to midnight. If a worker under 18 is injured because of something at their job, they are entitled to the same rights as if the same happened to an adult worker, meaning they can receiv...

Shark Tank Project Reflection Site One

Jhoan Alexander Web Client Programming Reflection for Site One of Shark Tank Project We conducted a "Shark Tank Project" in my Web Client Programming class, it involved interviewing a possible clients ( alumni ) for which we would have to build a website for. Clients had a variety of topics for their websites and it was based off the United Nation's 17 sustainable development goals. My client happened to be AMA,  a company which claim to have found a method of recycling pollution and making it a good thing by converting it with a one of a kind type of pen. We then made them a potential website which they will decide at the end if they will possibly bid for. This is just one part of the project, we will be making two sites for two different clients and to the right you can see AMA's potential homepage.
Jhoan Muy 11/05/19 Soft Skill Synopsis Reflection Y our character within the work-field  is essential. It can guarantee your position, as well as not. Being jovial to all and very enthusiastic are character traits any workplace would favor and can give you an abundance of more opportunities. That is why having good character is favorable and a great soft skill to have and is not hard to consistently maintain.  Think about it like this, "kindness is an investment, good karma is the return".
