This web portfolio includes examples of my work in Mr. Spacely's Web Design and Development I class. It also includes my reflections (below) on what I learned in each unit of the course.
Unit 2
In this unit I learned about HTML markup. I expanded my repertoire of HTML tags and applied many of them to this portfolio website. HTML is a semantically-rich markup language, and enables me to identify elements on the page by their function. For example, the paragraph you are currently reading is marked up as a paragraph, abbreviated p in HTML.
Unit 3
In this unit I learned about CSS markup. I used a wide variety of CSS selectors, properties, and value to add style to the HTML content I had created in the previous unit. CSS is amazing. There's so much cool stuff you can do with it!
Unit 4
In this unit I learned to use graphics software to create images for my website. Some of the images I produced are visible on this page (the banner image at the top, the background gradient, the email icon, and the camera icon below). If you click on the camera icon, you can see additional examples of my work:
Unit 5
In this unit I learned to use JavaScript to add functionality and behavior to a website. JavaScript rocks! It can be used to add all sorts of features to web pages, such as:
- Automatically get, format, and display the current time
- Show hidden content based on some event such as the page loading or a mouse click
- Change text that appears on the web page.
