Coding

While no code is the same, many forms of code are similar in their methods to complete a task. Some programming languages, like C, are very extensive and difficult to master. Others, are much simpler like python. Then there are HTML and CSS. HTML is used for building the frame of a website. CSS is the stylizing. I only have a very basic understanding of each, but it is enough to be capable of building the front end of a website. It also gives me an idea of what is possible in the back end programming of a website or app, and an understanding of some of what a developer is required to do.

YourPT

The project was at the request of a family member to present a project idea for her graduate class. All of the design was based on her design brief. The case study  over the user tests is on the evaluation page. The button below will open the zip folder containing PDF's of the code files.

HTML, CSS, Bootstrap

I wrote the HTML5 code, as well as the stylesheet in CSS3 first. Then the bootstrap and Javascript were loaded from a downloadable bootstrap file for responsive design. I implemented the original stylesheet into the bootstrap file. To take the page live, I would have a developer code the search and map abilities. This is an important level of functionality that I hope to learn to code myself. I used Dreamweaver for this project being comfortable with Adobe programs.

Caves

This project was a game created for a teacher to implement in google. It is a quiz game for high school students in biology. The game is a story line that takes students through a series of caves. At each crossing, the student is asked a question. If the student selects the correct answer, they move forward in the game. If they select the wrong answer, they are sent the wrong way, and forced to go back and correctly answer the question.

Python

The program is a series of loops designed to keep the student in the activity and moving forward with each question. I also used a few if/else statements to create an exit in the loops. Finally, I created a count in the program that totals the number of questions the student answered correctly on the first try. I used Atom for this program.
