18/10/22 - Dreamweaver Work

In today's lesson, to begin with we learnt a bit about the internet, servers, and how everything is connected. We watched 'Andrew Blum: What is the Internet, really?', and 'What is the Internet' from Code.org's YouTube Channel. These videos were very informative and interesting to watch, and taught us quite a lot about the Internet and the connections that it has all over the globe.

After watching these video clips, we began using Dreamweaver to create our own websites. First of all, we were just practicing and learning what some of the basic sections were in the code, such as 'Head', and 'Body', as well as the more specific things, such as 'Section' and 'Footer', and also how to add in different things into our pages, such as different sized headings, paragraphs, and images from our files, which we also created a description for, and hyperlinked that to the original place where we found our images.

After this, we then went onto LinkedIn Learning, and started to follow a set of tutorial videos on how to create a website, and alter the components within what we created, to make it look better, by learning to create CSS rules. We were able to change the background colours/image, and the text size/colour/font, within the body and then more specifically the section, and then create a gradient background for the footer.
We then started to learn how to move the different elements around, using the float options, the width options, to alter how much of the screen the section took up, and added in margins, so that it sat in a better place. As well as this, we also created rounded edges on the section, by adding in a border-radius to all of the corners, and slightly altered the look of the section, by adding padding to it.

07/12/23 - HTML And Figma Alterations

Image
In today's lesson, we covered a more in depth overview of  the HTML coding language as a follow up from last week's lesson. We looked at html tags again, as a recap, and then went on to write our own basic html code in the notepad app. We then learnt about the different tags to change text to be bold and italicized, as well as how to highlight and sub/superscript text. After this, we learnt about character codes, and how to add links and images into our web pages. Following this, we looked into lists and tables, and finished off the work with how to comment on your code. After this, we were allowed to just work on whatever work we needed to do. For this, I was editing my Figma app, to add in a time and Wi-Fi, service, and battery icons. After I'd added these in, I had to slightly rearrange parts of my pages to all fit in better. I also added in coloured rectangle behind each sections of my app, so that it would be easier to see what pages did what at a quick glance at the f...

10/01/24 - Final Game Session

Image
In today's lesson, I was working on my literature review, as I was for most of yesterday as well after receiving feedback within my morning tutorial. I was finding new sources to reference and add into my work, so that I could discuss the work of different people over many similar topics. However I then had the issue that I was way too far over the 1500 wordcount that I was supposed to be following, so I had to go through my previous work, and cut out or re-word sections that I felt were not as necessary for the overall message that I was trying to get across. In between my writing, I would go and see how the game finalisations were coming along, as Spike was getting ready to export the final game after fixing a couple of small bugs that we had found.

08/01/24 - Presentation, App Updates And Game Run-through

Image
In today's first lesson, I was finishing off my presentation. Although I only had a couple of pages left to finish, I needed to ask some questions on how to complete these sections as I wanted to make them as accurate as possible. I then thought of another feature to add to my app, which was a premium membership subscription, so I had to create another page to represent google, as when you press the button it will open a new google page to buy a membership.  I added a few different options for the membership, so that people can feel like they have options, and even added in a student discount option so that students with a lower or no income feel like they are getting a good deal and will be more likely to buy the membership. In today's second lesson, I was continuing to work on this presentation and app page, as our game group is basically finished and I can't really contribute much else for completion. Earlier in the week Spike had told us about how the church model wasn...
