Step 1: Understanding the history of Web & My Requirements

Video.1 - CERN video on "World Wide Web invented by Sir Tim Berners-Lee, a British scientist."

Fab Assignment Requirements:
1. Plan and sketch a potential final project. Click on Link.
2. Work through a git tutorial. This document!!!
3. Build a personal site in the class archive describing you and your final project. Click on link

Step 2: Learning from FabExperts, WWW & Youtubers

I had actually done most of the Fab Lab Documentations once using Markdown and now deleted everything, as I logged too much on the step and theories making it too messy. Getting ready to spiraling the learning experience with HTML, CSS and JS.

I selected two projects to be done and documented for this assignment:
1. Rewriting Git History with Git from Atlassian to train my Git, but doing it with GitKraken and Git
2. A Clock and Calculator by Web Dev Simplified to train my CSS and JS and draft it as my "possible final project"

Pjt 1a: Git Tutorial

After learning more git from Fabacademy, I conducted basic training for git for my peers so now interested to document how to rewrite git history, which I view as an important skill for future generations

Begineer-must know — Strip.2 - Beginner barely suffice with this."

Pjt 1b @2022: Hmmm... Maybe a Clock as Final Project

In this section of assignment, I am supposed to draft what my final project may look like. So for more, I imagine it to be a simple clock that can tell time and do calculations but have interesting add-ons with Electronics and 3D Printing. Here is a link to the JS clock sketch I followed, customised and integrated.

Pjt 1b @2023: Light Box with Path of Shortest descent

[2023 May] I had finally decided to do a simple light box with path of shortest descent. So ideally, it should look like this lightbox picture plus Mythbuster's path of shortest descent.

I did a rough sketch of the design using midjourney, refer to assignment2 CAD design to see the 2D and 3D Model.

Step 3: What I did with the learning

1. Learnt more and Conducted lessons and sharing on Github and Web Development.
      1a. [@2023 May] Conducted several lessons on Git.
      1b. [@2023 May] Conducted Web development lesson with Markdown, with HTML and CSS.
      1c. [@2023 May] My stakeholders prefer wed development with google site.
      1d. [@Future] Add in the JS interactivity.
2. Improved my git experience with App and Game Development for work purposes.

Assignment 1 Conclusion & Reflections:

1. Plan and sketch a potential final project. Click on Link.
2. Work through a git tutorial. This document!!!
3. Build a personal site in the class archive describing you and your final project. Click on link

Reflection @2023: This is the 3rd time , I am redoing this assignment1.
@2022 June, I was freshman with Github and played game on how to learn Git and Markdown, below is snipplets of free training created for disadvantaged youths. [Insert link to Tello Git Video]

@2022 Dec, I was started to play more with Git. Below is snipplets of free crafted powerpoints of Web Development for less aspiring youth. [Insert link to Web Development Video]

@2023, I lost my grandfather just shortly after I registered for fabacademy, then during fabacademy, I went through covid lockdown, hardware shortages and losing my grandmother when I was milling pcb for fabacademy. The toughest thing for me was to decide a project as there seems to be nothing I do as original, all are but peeking over the shoulders of giants. Now doing the project just simply because of deadlines. Currently for website development, I had tried coding with Atom, Notepad++, VScode. This code is done using Vscode with all its useful extension and version control functions.
