Resume Project

This project was done to create a resume for ourselves, using HTML, Javascript, and CSS. Our goal in this was to showcase how much we have learned over the course of this class.

Step 1: We started off by writing the barebones outline HTML code. We slowly developed our HTML and CSS skills further than last year. We wrote the HTML for the heading, E-mail, and my name before moving on to more complex tasks like our education, achievments, and extracurriculars. We coded a table to display our extracurriculars and how good we are at each. We also created a page to display our hobbies that we linked in our resume.

Step 2: We started styling the website with CSS and created a text editing document called Styles.CSS so that we were able to style and color our resume how we want. This step was very difficult because we had to learn a whole new coding language and many different specific functions. Some of the features we learned include text size, color, borders, how to space things out, and change the font.

Step 3: The last step was to create the Javascript program to create functions that made the resume interactive. We have assimilated numerous different ways to properly utilize Javascript and in addition to many other examples, we coded a number guessing game. To incorporate javascript into our resume, we created a contact form so that our interviewer could contact us after finding interest in our resume. The javascript we used wasn't too terribly difficult, but it made the website interactive which can help our interviewer stay interested in our resume for longer

Reflections:

Strength of my work: My project looks very professional and clean. I learned a lot of new CSS codes that were very helpful. Some examples might be: hover, active, margin, and fixed.

Opportunities to improve my project: If I had a chance to improve my project, I would start by adding more detail to some of my paragraphs because they are a little bit lackluster. I would also change the layout and move some things around.

Understanding: I learned how to code using Javscript and increased my skills in CSS and HTML. I learned how to be very thorough in checking my code and organizing my thoughts.

Limitations I encountered in this project: It is very hard to remember all of the different functions and values, I think I just need to do more coding so that it becomes second-nature or easier to remember.

WISCR:

W: I think my work was well rounded because I didn't work too much on the styling or the paragraphs, I had a good balance of functionality with class.

I: I think that I was insightful in my work because I tried new things that I didn't know how to do. I used my critical thinking skills to develope different ways of undertanding the code.
