Lab 21 Reflection Journal


            This lab reminded me of a similar activity we did using app lab on code.org in our junior year but instead of having app lab to make it easier we had to write the JavaScript ourselves which was interesting but a pretty simple task to do. For the lab we had to create a canvas on the web page in which the user can move the mouse around and a paintbrush effect would activate enabling the user to draw anything. But unlike regular paintbrushes when the x and y value of the mouse changes so does the size and color of the brush. To start the x and y value of the mouse needed to be individually declared as a variable so a function can be created so that every time the values change so would the color and size. Therefore, as long as the user moved around the mouse on the canvas he/she can paint anything she desires.
            This lab was fun to do and the skills gained from the lab can be utilized as we can take the x and y values and apply them to other things we might want to do on the web page which can make the page more interactive for the user and its entire experience. I myself will try to use what I learned in future labs and projects to make them more interactive.

CS Fair Reflection Journal

Taken from the CS Fair website             Today we the Web Design academy had the opportunity to go to the CS Fair held within the Armory Track. At first before the entire trip even started I was wondering what we might see at this event and I really wasn't prepared for what was actually there. Once we got to the location I was astonished to see how many people actually went and even how many companies, colleges, etc were there at the fair. The place was massive and there was so many things to do, people to talk to and I was dumbfounded in where to start. The first thing I did during the fair was try the different activities they had to offer including playing with lights, driving a robot which was created to complete in a competition and was built in around 30 days which was extremely impressive. After trying the activities I then moved on to the actual fair itself and had the opportunities to talk to companies such as Facebook, Accenture, and eve...
