Career Journal Template - 2005 Cohort

Overview

What is a career journal?

The journal will help guide you through the process of discovering who you are as a new developer and how that translates into your career goals. It’s a way to check in with yourself through self-reflection, prompts, and questions, organize your targeted job search, and remember who you met as you build a professional network.

Make it your own.

Add questions and areas to reflect on each week. Just don’t forget to share all of your successes and achievements along the way!

Ongoing progress checks.

Throughout the module, you'll respond to the other prompts and update your progress in your document during professional development workshops and set aside work time.

TIC TAC TOE

SOLO PROJECT REFLECTION

ABSTRACT

In a few sentences, explain what the project was and the scope of your work.

TicTacToe SOLO PROJECT This was a solo project with a simple HTML/CSS page and three javascript files, working with data model/DOM. The trick here was not to let the mind tell you that it was a simple game of tic tac toe. The javscript portion was lengthy and challenging with many moving parts - wins, draws, scoreboard, tokens, gameboard, js class files, etc.

Create a magic8 directory with html, css and js files inside of it

Using html write out the elements for a page that holds all the necessary classes, id's, buttons etc

Using CSS create the styling of the page and the actual 8ball making a large circle shape that takes up at least 50% of the page (true to life size of an actual magic 8ball)

Give it 3D dimensions in appearance and use hover feature so there is some movement when they run the hand cursor over it

Using CSS styling and html have the actual "8" number on the magic8 ball be a button

FRIDAY WORKSHOPPING

It was good, it was a good experience. Much lighter in weight than the current project that we are working on. We had about half an hour and we workshopped with arrays - merge, concat, sort problems etc. I paired well with my teammate who is also a current-projectmate. We started simply, reading through the actual information given. We chose arrays because we are dealing with them pretty heavily in our current project. From there we pseudocoded line by line through the instructions and made sure we were on the same page with each new line and really wrote it out in simple to understand English. Then we opened a repl and began writing code with the data provided from the challenge. We worked off of the array sheet that we had from last weeks lesson along with grabbing code from various google sites. The deeper we got into it the more we went down the wrong path, which was okay, fun even. I understand that the stakes arent as high as when working on projects when we go down the wr
