Day 1

Chapters 1 and 2 on Structure and Text from HTML and CSS: Design and Build Websites

  1. HTML code describes the structure of a web page. In all documents , structure is very important in helping readers to understand the messages and help in navigation.

  2. An HTML element comprises the opening tag and the closing tag and any content that lies between them of HTML code that describes the structure of a web page.

  3. Attributes provide additional information to help elements describe the structure of the web page in more detail. Example: they can indicate the language for a paragraph.

  4. Anything written between the body elements will be shown inside the main browser window. The elements of the of the page will contain information about the page and not be shown on the main browser window. The element will usually be found within the element. The elements are either shown above the browser, above the URL, or on the

Parin Survey questions
  1. My greatest strength is the ability to gain and apply knowledge. I blend curiosity, creativity, and evaluation in quest of perspective. This was my Highest Virtue Class in Pairin's Virtues map to Character strengths.

  2. I work well with others and promote unity, trust, cooperation and a positive group atmosphere. I'm looking to be all that I can be in life, so one of my strongest drivers is interest in solving complex problems and bringing about change.

  3. I "may be quick to see others as incompetent, or blame them when something fails". Too convinced sometimes of my unorthodox views.

  4. I hope to combine my strengths of being able to use my "gut" combined with the ability to steer towards reason and fact finding to solve complex problems in software development. By being able to tackle complex problems, I hope that is used as a driver to institute great change in the software development industry. By promoting a positive team atmosphere, I plan to bring a great energy to the groups around

Gear Up

Empathy is important because it can put you in someone else's shoes and give you an opportunity to see through their eyes. When you are able to see a product from someone else point of view, it creates the opportunity to build better software because at that point more people will benefit instead of just your own viewpont software. Empathy is important for working with a team because once you put yourself in their shoes it provides you the opportunity to better communicate with someone. By instituting the skill of empathy, this provides logic and emotional skills that better suit you to work effectively amongst a team. At my previous job, one of my colleagues who turned into one of my closest friends had moved to the US from Africa. I was able to listen intently to his story and try to put myself in his shoes. By doing that and truly understanding his situation it gave me a broader viewpoint. I think that interaction brought us closer together and able to continue to communciate and work mo

Project: Number Guesser

Group Member Names:Foster Taylor & Annie Olsen

Goals and Expectations for the Project (What does each group member hope to get out of this project? What do we want to achieve as a team? How will we know that we're successful?): Achieving a conceptual understanding of Javascript with the ability to get functionality. In regards to CSS and HTML, we are looking to create dynamic and well structured code with good organization using BEM and alt tags.

Team strengths & collaboration styles (consider discussing your Pairin qualities here): Cooperative-Practical and Intuitive-Conceptual. Looking to overcome driver-navigator challanges and have equal amount of commits.

What have you learned about the use of agile vs. waterfall in software projects?
Waterfall is more expensive, and involves a front loading of expenses. Seems better used in large corporations with large budgets.
Many projects dont get past the development stage and QA gets paid very little. Agile is lesser chance for costs to skyrocket and is implemented
with feedback in the end. Greater chance of having revenue at the beginning of implmentation since initial development is implemented faster.
How did you and your group approach project management in this project
(what tools did you use, how did you hold each other accountable, etc.)?
