Sabrina's Reflection

The experience you had in the class.

The experience I had in this class was beyond my expectations. I learned many different concepts like Web Trends, Responsive Web Design, Mobile First, Touch Screen, Dark Mode, PWA, SVG & Text Masking, Web VR, and adding social media to your website. Tammy Freud (my teacher) went above and beyond to help us learn more in a one-credit class. I love having Tammy Freud as my teacher, and some projects may be challenging, but she is always here to help.

What difficulties that you experienced?

I found that adding more stuff to my portfolio became difficult. It seems the more add, the lengthier it gets. Another thing was the dark mode, and I could not get it to work in my navigation on the dark mode page. I ran into a few errors with some of the PWA's. I am thankful that some of the mistakes were resolved in GitHub. I think the last project for the portfolio was challenging in itself. I added many pages to complete another website, but I just copied off that since I already started a portfolio. Then I just changed some stuff, and I was happy with the outcome. When checking accessibility, it wanted to add headings, but that wasn't a heading. From what I understand, bigger fonts could mean headers. I like the design, and changing this would compromise the portfolio design.

What would you do to improve the final project if you had more time?

I think what I would improve in my final project is figuring out the accessibility and fixing that. I would also add more complex tools and resource pages, splitting those into two sections. I didn't have to make another web page, but I can add more to my other portfolio with something more dynamic.

What do you plan on doing to expand your learning in the topics we covered?

Expanding my learnings, I would go back to the four subjects I knew little about, like Web VR, SVG and Text Masking, Dark Mode, and PWA's. Since these are relatively new, I think covering these topics in more depth would help me better understand the programming behind making these website projects.

What plans do you have to expand into topics we didn’t cover, but you would like to Include this on your final project documentation page?

One of the plans I do want to explore is Parallax scrolling. I thought that was one challenge I would like to expand on my learnings. I do want to look into API as well, but I will hold off on that because that might be a little more challenging to do, but I will look into that in the future. One last note, I am thinking of getting another degree in this field, maybe the mobile or getting my bachelor's degree, but part-time.
