I think that this project went pretty well, considering what our objective were to begin with. Sophie Foster and I said that we wanted to create a digital version of an advent calendar, and we did. I’m not going to say that it was easy, but I think it worked better than either of usContinue reading “Project 2: Milestone 4”

Component hierarchy, states, and props: We are using three components in our advent calendar app. They are (from largest to smallest) Calendar, Day, and Fact. Calendar is the holder for the 25 days and is responsible for rendering them. It has a state called today that gets the date. Day takes today and day asContinue reading “Project 2: Milestone 2”

Description: This project will be an online advent calendar to countdown to Christmas! Our inspiration is the physical advent calendars that we (myself and Sophie Foster) both had and enjoyed as children (and also now). The intended audience for this project is people who celebrate and adore the holiday season, and either don’t want toContinue reading “Project 2: Milestone 1”

This project was a squeeze for me. Like all coding projects, I ended up spending around thirty hours fighting with a single javascript function that just refused to do what I wanted. Eventually, I am sorry to say, I surrendered and did the best I could with a hacked fix. Post-project, I’ve done more researchContinue reading “Project 1 Milestone 4: How’d it go?”

So far so good (in my opinion) on the project. My prototype is a coded wireframe rather than something in invision because I decided it was more important to make a prototype of the code than of the aesthetics. It lives here. My reasoning for this is that the code determines what I can actually,Continue reading “Project 1: Milestone 2”

I feel like I draw out of a very shallow pool of topics when it comes to things like this. I focus on either something mental health related, food systems related, or environmental. This time, I dipped into my inspiration pool and pulled out… mental health and the environment! What a surprise. But, it isContinue reading “Project 1: Milestone 1”

Remember how I said I always bite off more than I can chew, but I wasn’t going to do that this time? Yeah… I did it again. I thought that images would prove to be a lot easier to work with than they actually are. My initial design was the interactive, motion filled plot thatContinue reading “Class Portal: Milestone Two”

Building a portal is always very difficult for me—it is one of those things where I have a vision that seems reasonable and easily completed, but always ends up vaguely disappointing. This is what happened with my Web Portal, my Creative Dev Tools Portal, and most of the personal portals that I have coded. IContinue reading “Front-End Web Dev Milestone 1”
