XiAcademy did a great job with the Phase 1 Javascipt by explaining contents of javascript easily and well. The phase was a bit challenging but with practice and determination it was easy to get a grip on. Javascript helped me understand other languages like html, CSS and other frontend fundamentals. Other than that, I have learned many helpful commands to use in the terminal while scripting the language. Concerning the project I have completed for phase 1, it was a simple yet exciting and modern idea i rest assured would work well with the skills I have attained. And so that it is what happened, the project is a online web/info store that shows the user a simple one page html with pictures of AI and tech products. The html was written within the span of around 3 weeks with the CSS along with a block of javascript. The CSS was the most code written within the project since it handled most of the design and clean look. It also handled the design of the buttons, navbar, and some hover effects. The html included many classes which were then styled in the CSS file. Javascript was a huge help in functions like button as well as “fetch”. This function helped me grab a simple and quick google search engine and integrate it into my website. Needles to say, my first SPA was not a piece of cake, I faced many challenges where I would sit for days in order to solve the problem and would find a random answer on Stackoverflow (huge shoutout) which would help by changing a semicolon or such. The problems weren’t as harsh as the solutions proposed, and a little patience solved every obstacle. Thanks to YouTube my fetch function was written clearly and neatly and learned new abbreviations when writing “classes” and “div’s” in html and then referring to them in CSS. I truly believe after this project my frontend development skills have grown, but no to forget, I also have long way on the road to being full stack developer.
