I am building a webpage about myself, Kyle Freemantle, a student at Code Fellows in Seattle, WA. The objective is to get more practice handling JavaScript and CSS rules while building out functionality on the page. Features are being added to the page incrementally.
1/25: initial page published with 5 yes/no questions for the user with responses from the site author to get to know each other better. 1/25: second iteration of the page to include a list of favorite games, a numerical guessing game, a muiltiple choice question with 6 possible attempts, and a final score computed for the user. Also structured work history as lists. In order to complete the if..else statements I got a lot of help from an experienced JS dev. 1/27: refactored the guessing game logic, made a bunch of HTML syntax corrections to the lists and updated the color palette to look less Halloweeny. Submitted as complete for Lab05b though I'd still like to work on it.
- re: Kyle Freemantle site
- I relied heavily on guidance on conditionals from both MDN and W3 Schools.
- Steve Minor (thelastbaldwin on GitHub) gave me a lot of hands on help after hours to structure my conditional statements.
- Sheyna Watkins helped me to refactor the age guessing game after I broke it.
Lab02 Lighthouse score - 1/25
Lab05b Lighthouse Score - 1/27
- After spending more time refactoring my site, my initial feelings about the project hold true. Prioritizing attention and time remains my biggest problem. I should be following the Pareto Principle, but I'm working on it.
- I need to manage my time better. I am slow and distractable. This is improving, but I would prefer it improve faster.
- Conditional logic is becoming more intuitive!
- I need to get outside help much faster, but I have some good resources.
