Guest Speaker 1

During Computer Science Week, Andrew Otto from Wikipedia came in and answered questions from us. One of the questions he answered was regarding Wikipedia's asking for money to keep the site functioning. This is because Wikipedia does not want its audience to be influenced by ads. Otto also spoke of new features that might come to Wikipedia in the near future.

Final Portfolio Reflection

The Final Portfolio project is supposed to be the culmination of all our works over the 3 years we've been in Web into one website. This portfolio is supposed to contain all our works from Visual Design all the way to Web Client Programming. To make it more interesting, each of our portfolios had its own style which made it distinct from others. As a result, you can tell whose portfolio you are on based on what you immediately see in front of you. I started building my portfolio slowly during the school year. It went through a few iterations before it became the final product. As it is, I'm happy at how my portfolio came out, it resembles the vision I had for it and contains all my previous works I have done over the years.

The seminar also told us what to expect in our future and what steps we can take to ensure that it is successful. I had some prior knowledge of this topic because I had been to some workshops that taught me how to ensure that my future is successful.

Lab 29

For this lab, we created a special text shadow that moves based on your cursor's position. To do this, we first had to create a word that acts as our "anchor". Then, through a series of JavaScript commands, we create four separate text shadows that circle around our anchor word based on our mouses position. The result is a psychedelic effect which is quite appealing to the user's eyes. I actually saw this particular lab showcased on a senior's laptop in last year's CTE Expo.
