Week 1

My first week was amazing. I learn a lot of stuff. Usual i’m scared to take big risks. But coding is very fun and cool. This opportunity gives me an chance to explore the unknown. I was thought i didn’t have any options out there but music. I learn to be myself and it’s ok to trial and error, making mistakes is ok, and taking my time is only beneficial. If i was myself a year ago. I would never think i would be sitting at an office setting at the age of 17 and getting opportunities where people like Mr. Sam Corbelt would ever trust teens our age to even to build his dream website. This is a true blessing.

Week 2

I think when you are starting to learn a new language, it’s always hard to learn, especially if it’s foreign to you. HTML stand  Hypertext Markup Language, a standardized system for tagging text files to achieve font, color, graphic, and hyperlink effects on World Wide Web pages. CSS  stands for Cascading Style Sheets. CSS describes how HTML elements are to be displayed on screen, paper, or in other media. CSS saves a lot of work. It can control the layout of multiple web pages all at once. External stylesheets are stored in CSS files. I thnk have to continue to understand the difference between them as i continue to work on HTML and CSS.

Week 3

I enjoyed learning sketch up because it’s something i can sit back and think about something that i vision and make it come to 3D life. WordPress is fairly easy. We get to learn Wix, which is super easy as ABC.I wish i could be more creative on my web designer page, but it’s hard for me.

SketchUp is the easy, fun, and free way to draw in 3D. We used SketchUp to make logos. My web design company name is Double A Web Design. So I started a basic 3D “A” but I thought that was kind of boring. I built off to the side another “A”. I think when it’s printed, it will be nice.

Week 4

I wanted to work hard at work this week. I want to accomplish more than average time of coding in HTM L and CSS.  I’m also going to continue to not be frustrated when i don’t get some thing right the first time.

Week 5

I’m making good progress on my blog. I’m making it my own way. I’m still adding some stuff but i promise it’s going to be good. I haven’t had a chance to play with the theme of website. But i might just keep it simple and basic.

Week 6

I’ve been practicing non-stop for my presentation for Doe Anderson and i was still nervous. i didn’t was to say the wrong words or freeze. But i knew that people believe such as partner. She told me i can do. I think that was time i turned my game face on and prove to myself that i can do it.
