Web Design Journal by Jhoan Muy

Jhoan Alexander WBL Requirement 04/17/20 This week an online session took place, speaker Carol Kate speaks on her experience working in the TV and film industry. Carol Kate spoke on her upbringing and how she transitioned from jobs to jobs and eventually reaching the infamous Nickelodeon. She spoke on the big shot companies stressing environment and overload of work, she spoke on how she eventually left and expressed how ones impulse decisions can be terrible. Though this session gravitated more towards the students video production I still gained new insight on another working field, Carol's story was intriguing and with her advice it was very motivating to say the least This session was overall very motivating.

Jhoan Alexander Web Client Programming 04/20/20 On the 14th of this month, Web Design alumni and I partook in an event labeled CTE/CS day. In this event 4 guest speakers from the Nuevo Foundation hosted a webinar in which they shared their experiences on all sorts of topics. Alyda was one guest speaker who spoke on her occupation which is product design which was very intriguing she also spoke on her college process, Madeleyne was another speaker and she also spoke on firmware and how firmware became her calling. The most appealing speaker was Eduardo, he was amusing to hear because our similar humor, he spoke on video game design and technical principals in all a variety of topics, such as photoshop and video editing.  In this webinar I gained insight on a variety of fields, insight that I can apply to my daily life because technology is a gateway and will continue being one. I met new personalities and see myself emulating these speakers and a rightful manner. The knowledg...

Jhoan Alexander Web Client Programming 03/11/20 Both Web Design and Video Production academies in Information Technology HS conduct yearly community service with JA. Junior Achievements (JA) is an organization that educates young students skills in the real world. In order to properly prepare for our community service event we needed to learn our lessons, lessons which we would then proceed to teach alumni. We were sorted into groups and given a week to prepare for our lesson. My group members and I worked collaborated in making our lessons the most entertaining because we would need to teach 4th graders. We prepared with the tools JA gave us and it was then game day. We arrived at PS. 49, we were escorted to our classroom where we then conducted our lessons. The students were very different than lat years group of alumni and were very intrigued by the lesson. The entirety of our time there was amazing we truly taught alumni some bit of knowledge. This year ran smoother than last ye...

Jhoan Alexander Web Client Programming 03/11/20 Project 5 (Credit Score App) was conducted in class. The purpose for the app was to estimate an individuals potential credit score. I made this app using a series of questions which ranged from one's age to their income. The questions and answers would formulate with an onEvent. In order to make my app fully functioning I used onEvent code, this meant for all the possibilities I needed to create an algorithm. This indeed was a long process but and the not the most ideal but it is what I did - I had not used javascript in months was a bit rusty. This app was a great way for me to get back into coding with javascript. The app was a success I was able to make it fully functioning with just onEvents. I was intrigued by this project it by far has been different than our usual making webpages, I enjoyed it immensely and as a future web designer this project is pathing a way for me to get accustom to using javascript once again

Jhoan Alexander 02/09/20 What I presented at the CTE Expo This past Friday, Information Technology High School held their CTE Expo.  A CTE Expo is a gathering of student work to be presented to freshman alumni who may be interested in joining the CTE academy. During the CTE Expo we provided alumni with intel on the academy. This year was different than the previous year, we created a web portfolio not a game like the year prior. The website had to have a fully functioning navigation bar allowing us to demonstrate previous years work and information about us and what we do. I was able to speak to teachers during this event and freshman alumni who were shy of course but I tried my hardest in making them feel as if we were just friends having a normal conversation. And all worked out well, freshman's understood an adequate amount of what the Web Design academy was, they asked questions and when I asked if they were willing to join they all replied “yes”. It was a success, being...

Jhoan Alexander WCP Reflection This lab was made with a Javascript 30 tutorial. JavaScript 30 is an online resource website which supplies alumni with Javascript tutorials. In this lab it required HTML, CSS and Javascript.  In this lab, we constructed the highlighted text seem like it was your ghost by following you by highlighting linked words in the text. We did this by making a constant using a querySelector that would select all the a tags. The text in these a tags would then be highlighted. We then made a constant that would highlight this text when hovered upon, which was then implemented into a function. This function would set the style in which the text was highlighted. Finally, we set a trigger that would sense when the mouse hovered over the text. Overall an intriguing lab which I as a webs designer will use in my future website as it is great at helping with navigation bars.
