1. Project Management

This week I began to work on an idea for my final project. The information below documents my exploration and skill building for the first module on web development. Please visit the final project link above for final project updates.

Researching the Documentation Process & Learning HTML

I attended the Saturday Morning Global Open Time and was introduced to several Fab Academy participants and instructors from all over the world. I found this session helpful as some of the questions and concerns that were discussed were similar to my own. It was an amazing group of aspiring inventors and innovators and I can't wait to see everyone's final projects.

I worked through the practice slides explaining html and css provided by instructor Brandon. This was great practice to prep me for this week's homework assignment of setting up and editing the webpages for notes, the final project, and my about me page. I also watched a video on youtube to help me understand html and css structure and tags.

I downloaded a photo compression software but it seemed to have a negative effect on my computer's operating system so I decided to use the "Sent to Email" function when right clicking on my photo files and that seems to compress the photo files substantially.

Each day I practiced the different "git" commands in GitBash : git status, git add, git commit, git push; in order to complete this week's assignment. I was able to successfully update the files in Visual Studio in order to update my "About me page" and "Final Project" page.

I am still having challenges adding photos and making adjustments to the Project Management assignment as the code that worked on the other pages does not seem to work with the current page. It may be necessary to eliminate the code that was supplied completely in order to start from scratch at some point. There is definitely a challenge associated with the quotation marks in the original code that was provided.

I completed a first sketch of the product I've dreamed up simply with pencil and paper. I've included a copy of the sketch on the Final Project Page.
