Web Client Programming Brian V.

            So this is just like my previous post "Shark Tank 1" the only difference is we were given a new client and just like the last client we needed to create a website in which we display their product and what it does and basically market it off to the public. The team we were given were known as the Scions and consisted of my classmates Job N, Kevin R, Jason J, and Bryan C their product was a black box AI which can basically do what any AI does but you are able to customize it to your specific requirements which is pretty cool and would come in very handy in certain circumstances.             To start off with unlike the previous collaboration of my team which lacked good communication and ended with a moderate design website. For client we made designed the website to be simplistic so that's its easy to navigate through and easy to read for the user. First, we established a good communication through the applicati...

            Alright so this project started way before we came back from winter break. It started the day before we went on break when we were assigned to watch 9 podcast which can be watched from about 5 different podcast stations an example is the Moth, Ted Talk, Radio Lab, etc... The podcast stations I chose to watch were Radio Lab and Ted Talk because they both contained episodes which peaked my interest and I actually found interesting to listen to. From Ted Talk I found the episode known as "The New Frontier" to be the most interesting out of all that I listened to this is because it discussed the topic of whether humans should live in mars and in what way would they exactly live their and thrive in the cold vacuum of space. From Radio Lab the episode "Infective Heredity" was the most interesting to me seeing as it discussed how that in the past every creature and each of their respective species would share genes with one another and later exhibit...

            On today's workshop it actually focused on the our future and what careers would be suited for us or if we already know which careers we each would like to pursue as we are almost graduating soon. At the start, we were all given 3 packets one packet contained information and keywords the other packet contained numerous amount of questions on which types of things we preferred to do and or would like to do due to interest. After answering most of the questions on the second packet to find out in what category we are each in to help us determine the career that is good for us we then moved on to the third and final packet which asked us information about ourselves and the career we would like to pursue in the future for example I would like to pursue a career in computer science. We then filled actions we have taken to achieve this and or things we have already achieved up to this point like skills in working with others etc... Overall the work...

            In today's workshop we learned about work safety and to always be in the look out in case you are being harassed or being mistreated in the work environment you are in. The workshop dealt with how to deal with cases of harassment and if we are uncomfortable at anytime in our workplace. It gave an overview of how to deal with certain situations which will actually be useful in the future as all of us our seniors and will soon be going out to the real world and come face to face to having jobs and or going to college so all the information that was given to us will come really in handy. The overall, workshop gave us ways to deal with situations if we ever come to be in them in the future and how to deal with it appropriately which is really useful.

            So today after school we actually had a pretty cool field trip planned to Cornell Tech a private college which is super interesting and great thing to experience seeing as we are all soon going to college after graduating high school. The trip to Cornell Tech was fun but I was a bit nervous because I dreaded the soon coming presentation of our experience with Shark Tank. Before the presentation I actually managed to enjoy myself by spending times with the class walking around the campus as it is located on Roosevelt Island which is another cool thing. After looking around the campus and the pooping geese we then proceeded to the main building in which we were allowed to prepare a little for the presentation before we entered the room in which we would soon present upon. Once it was time to start presenting I was kind of freaking out but I remained calm because if I freaked out then my team members would freak out so yea. After seeing the firs...

          So this lab was actually pretty cool to make it. The purpose of the lab was to create a digital rock paper scissors game in which the user can play against the computer and test themselves. At first it was type hard to make because I had no idea how to start but I later decided I should begin with the design layout of the game and so thats what I did. I added a score board and a rules button as well as a reset button all which the user can interact with. After designing the layout of the game then came coding the actual game for this I used if and else statement to determine what the user picks and runs the CPU to pick its own choice and whoever wins earns a point on the scoreboard.             The skills that I gained are actually really useful and I really enjoyed this lab as making games is pretty cool and its basically a starting point to making games which is great.

For todays lab we needed to add a way to change the css in an image using sliders to adjust the specific css traits we want to change. For example blurriness or background color the sliders were ovedall to be used to change image. I completed this lab by using a gif as my image which would be changed by using the sliders. The overall lab is pretty easy the only problem I had was finding out how exactly to implement the sliders so it would change each individual css respectively. To solve my dilemma I asked for help ffom my classmates and ended up figuring out my problem. The skills I gained are actually extemely useful since we learned a way to change css rather from changing the actual css file. .

          So todays lab was actually a two parter their were actually two goals of the lab in which we needed to complete to get full credit. So the first part of the lab was to create a clock on the webpage in which the user can see and it must have had the actual time. To create this the teacher showed us exactly how and what we needed to actually create a working clock that is available to the user. After completing the first part of the project we needed to start the second part which was to create buttons which can be activated not by click but by pressinv a specific key on the keyboard and when used they make a specific sound which corresponds with the button. I manage to complete this and added meme sounds which was pretty fun to do.           The skills gained from the lab can be utilized in my other works to make it more unique and more user interactive

            Todays lab was also a continuation of the past two labs as a copy of the previous labs document was used and all we were required to do is add something new like in this case we needed to add a search bar in which the user can interact with. The search bar had a specific action which it needed to complete the plan was to when something such as a keyword was typed and search the bar when then search for the keyboard through youtube. To complete this lab i actually needed help so I use the internet as to research ways I can actually complete this lab and i actually came across a webpage which explained how to do it. Following the instruction of then webpage I was able to finish the lab and it worked as expected.             The skills gained from the lab would come in handy if I ever need to make a search bar that would utilize youtube it was very nice to overall learn.

                         In todays lab was basically a continuations of yesterdays lab as we did use the same document. This time the goal of the lab was to add APIs in which the user can click to share and a variety of social media platforms. Compared to others labs this was really simple because the APIs I used were in the pages of each individual platform so all i need to do was look it up the ckde needed in ored to add the API and as soon as I found it.I would add it to my own code. For the lab I only added twitter and pinterest as the other as I couldnt find the APIs for the other platforms.             The skills gained from the lab will definitley come in handy in the future. As a web designer I would need to add APIs to my work in order to allow users to share it if they enjoy if not it just adds a nice little user interface which can be used.

            In today's lab we were given an already created document which contained 4 already added videos. The goal of the lab was to add another video of your choice from youtube and to make sure when each respective video is clicked on the menu to the left the correspodning video will display to the left as shown below. But not only would the video show but as well as the name.of video, creator, and for extra credit the views as well. To complete the lab the videos and other information like creator, title, and views were each given respective arrays and when a video was clicked a function would run to choose the correct information that goes with the video.             This lab was very easy actually and quite fun because we got to choose any video we liked or thought was funny. The skills we gain from the lab will no doubt come in handy as we can utilize them in future labs or projects even our own portfolios.
