TravelMap

Pitch

1 sentence that explains the value proposition of the application. How would you explain it to a potential business partner, team member, or investor?

Imagine an application that would allow you to chose from a list of countries to travel to based on your budget and income. Imagine you are able to get data based on that country's exchange rate and cost of living that could assist you in deciding what places are most viable to visit based on how much you are willing/able to spend. The app would allow you to view countries around the globe that display real-time data viewable in a visual format. This app would be designed and built using D3; The main page would be a map of the globe, allowing you to click on countries and take you to a page that indicates information about that particular nation and your ability to go there or understand what it is like to live there from a monetary perspective.

Have you ever been in a team setting where the differences between introverted and extroverted working styles was clear. What were the benefits and challenges of the styles?
-No.
How do you perceive the strengths and weaknesses of introverts? How do you perceive the strengths and weaknesses of extroverts?
-strengths of introverts lies in revelations and insights that come from deep thinking, reflection, and contemplation that result from solitude and time outside of the influence from others, which can be biased, and persuasive for the group and collective in general based on natural human tendencies. These insights have the potential to contribute to innovations and socio-cultural influences that potentially contribute to the growth and progress/evolution of consciousness.
-weaknesses are that they are less able to share these ideas and insights because of social anxiety, shyness, or other preferred ways of being that don't involve extroverts as much, which can lessen the impact of great thinking in

3 actionable commitments for Module 2 projects to accomidate for accessibility issues:

  • use better tags in HTML, i.e. using button instead of li so that elements are more clearly defined
  • use tab-indexes (especially 0 to indicate a stop point for a page element)
  • design minimalist web pages to include more white space so that navigation is simple

CSS Layout Challenges - Kinan Whyte
Challenge 1

I simply used a float: right for div1 and div2. Once those 2 elements were on the left side, a margin-left: 10px was used on div2 in order to give them some breathing room!

Module 1 Week 4 Diagnostic

This exercise is intended to help you assess your progress with the concepts and techniques we've covered during the week.

For these questions, write a short description or snippet of code that meets the requirement. In cases where the question mentions a "given" data value, use the variable given to refer to it (instead of re-writing the information).

Module 1 Week 3 Diagnostic.

  • What do we mean when we talk about a variable's "scope"?

  • a variable's scope is defined by where it is accessed, such as on a global, instance, or class level.

  • Given the following code, what does the program output?

		def combine_variables(x)
		  puts "inner x is: #{x}"
 puts "and outer b is: #{b}"
