When completing core web development task 1, I found I had to change a major part of my code, which led me to delete many lines that I had spent time on. I knew at the start I wanted my gallery website to have varying image aspect ratios, but I didn’t research how to do this before coding the other elements of my website. Although this was annoying, it was a good lesson to plan out how I am to code every part of a project before starting.

I enjoyed hearing and learning about WordPress from Rob Skinn as he was clearly very passionate about it. It was interesting to see the different ways web development can be done (using a heavy amount of code or none at all). As well as seeing how what working life might be like using WordPress, e.g. different ways to let clients interact with their website.

I was excited to start learning Java Script, as I know it’s such a popular language. I found it very satisfying learning to code buttons in JavaScript as I had previously coded buttons using python, and found using JavaScript much easier and less frustrating than python.

I also spent some time on the character choice website outside of class. I added some more characters as well as a second page, with the same format but characters from a different game. I managed to set up a navigation bar to switch between the different pages and have different CSS for each page quite easily, but I was unable to figure out how to make the button work on the second page. I hope to have some spare time to figure this out how to fix this in the future.
