Lab8: Lab Index

This lab was the first time we used FileZilla because we had to create an index for our labs, so all our labs would be displayed in an organized manner. We had our own server to put all of our work. The index had to be in the lab folder and the actual index was a simple process to make. In a sense all we had to do is create a table with all our labs and if you wanted you could've added images. However, the all the labs had to contain link to the webpage of the labs , so when you click on any lab you would go to the actual webpage of that lab.
This is sounds quite simple, but in reality it is difficult because in order to get everything work work smoothly you need to put all links as relative paths which was a completely new concept. But in the end this lab helped create index to cohesively display my labs, so anyone wont be confused. This lab will be helpful in the future because now we know ho to use servers in order to upload our files and create a complex website that contains all of our work

Lab4-Color Table

Image
The directions for lab 4 was to create a table made up of hues and the corresponding hexadecimal value for the hue. In order to complete this lab a new HTML tag was introduced, the <table> tag which creates a table. however that isn't the only tag necessary to complete the lab we also needed to use the <tr> and <td> tags. tr signified a row on the table and td signified a row in the table; with all three tags we could create and manipulate a table into what we needed. The actual table we created consisted of three columns and twenty rows. The three columns are the color name, hexadecimal value, and the actual hue. Each row had a different hue and the first row is the titles for the columns. We didn't have regular colors, such as red or blue, we had absurd hues that had names you only see on crayons like Dark Magneta and Midnight Blue. Of course we didn't know the hexadecimal value of the hues; therefore we used w3schools to search up the values, it had it

Lab16: My First JavaScript

Image
This lab was the very first time we implemented JavaScript into our webpages. While we have been practicing JavaScript on code.org, that was the only platform we used. Now for the first time our website have HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It may not be complex JavaScript, but it is a small step as an introduction. The lab was just create a button that when pressed would change the contents of the paragraph written. We also create a base format for our webpages so wouldn't have to keep repeating the same long process of writing the basic html codes. The button was quite easy to create because all that was needed to be done was to create a button tag inside a script tag. The script tag specifies that whatever inside the tag is pure JavaScript and the button tag is exactly was the name entities, a button. It was small step, but I suppose we will build off these skills until we eventually get into complex JavaScript.

MLH Local Hack Day 2017

Image
This past Saturday, December 2, Queens College hosted a local hackathon on their campus. As a student currently enrolled in a computer science class it was a great opportunity for me and other classmates to learn and showcase our skills. Walking into the hackathon was a little bit daunting because most if not all the participants were college students except for me and the other people from my class that also attended. However, once the actual event began I didn't feel out of place, on the contrary the people where very nice and welcomed me even though I was very young. The first secession/activity was a sort of free learning hour where we had the freedom of doing whatever we wanted. The organizers gave us a link to the MLH website and there were multiple activities that we were able to do, but they all involved programs that I was unfamiliar with and they all were very complex. Therefore, it was basically an hour of just learning what different programs did and the basic commands
