Project description- In this resume project, we coded our very own resume. In this, we used HTML for creating the page, CSS for the style, and Javascript for the interactivity.
Step 1: HTML- For this step, we began by using HTML to create the base of our project. In the body, we added Highlights, Education, Achievements, and Extracurriculars. We also learned how to make lists using li, and ul. Lastly, we learned how to create a table and add a portrait of ourselves using the image tag.
Step 2: CSS- With CSS, we learned how to change the background, fonts, and colors of the text, etc. We also styled our table and created a gradient by finding a palette that suited our color scheme. This helped make our resume a little more vibrant and colorful.
Step 3: Javascript- In java script we were able to make our resume more interactive. We were able to code an alert that would show up after a viewer filled out the contact form.
SOUL REFLECTION:
S: Strength of work- I believe that my strength was the styling part of the resume. I enjoyed choosing what colors would suite the color scheme, and I had fun discovering different gradients of colors as well.
O: Opportunities to improve- I think that I could have improved my time management. In the last class, I still had a few more things left to do on the requirements and was cramming in most of the work.
U: Understanding- This resume project was overall such a great experience, and it deeply broadened my knowledge on coding. Now I know the basics on HTML, CSS, and Javascript, and am able to create the base for a website.
L: Limitations- One limitation that I came across was the Javascript. When we had to figure out how to incorporate functions and alerts into our code, in order to make it more interactive, there were so many properties and sometimes a little mistake such as forgetting a colon, would result in an error.
WISCR-
I- I was an insightful and critical thinker, because sometimes when my code would result in an error, I was able to scan the code and find what the cause was.
S- I was a clear communicator because when I needed help with my code, I would ask for help and solve the problem. Also, when my peers had problems with their code, we would communicate and work together to find a solution.
