Description: In this project, we designed a resume using what we learn in this unit. During this unit, we learned how to code in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. We used our knowledge to make a portfolio about ourselves.
Step 1 - HTML: In HTML, I put together my website, giving it a title, headings, and putting together all the parts of my resume. This is where I made lists, made a table, and added an image of myself.
To the right is what my resume looked like after the HTML step. This is without CSS.
Step 2 - CSS: I used CSS to design my resume, giving it colors, fonts, etc. This gave my resume personality and made it nicer to look at overall.
To the right is what my resume looked like once I added CSS.
Step 3 - JavaScript: I used JavaScript to make a contact form. It has a space for a name, email, and a message. I used JavaScript to code an alert that shows up after someone fills out the contact form.
To the right is an image of my contact form.
Above is an image of my JavaScript code.

SOUL Reflection:
S - Strength of Work:Â I think that my work is pretty strong overall. I think I met all the expectations and completed all the tasks for this assignment well.
O - Opportunities for Improvement: I think that one way I could have improved this project would be filling it in a little more. I think that there's a lot of open space, and I think it would look nicer if I added some more small details, such as a line separating my title (my name and email) with the rest of my resume.
U - Understanding: I definitely learned a lot throughout this project about HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I think that I have improved my skills in HTML a lot more than they were last year and I learned a lot in CSS and JavaScript.
L - Limitations: Some limitations I encountered during this project were in the CSS and JacaScript. In CSS, there are so many different properties that they get confusing, especially when it comes to what to use for padding or margins, but eventually I figured it out. In JavaScript, I really just struggled with it in general. Of all three types that we learned, JavaScript was definitely the hardest, but it worked out in the end.
WISCR: I think I represented the I and the C in WISCR. I was an insightful and critical thinker because when I was having problems with my code, I was able to think about it and normally figure out the issue and fix it. I was a clear communicator because I asked for help when I needed it so that I could have the best project I possibly could.
