Probably my favorite website that we made was our AllRecipes website where we found 5 recipes that had videos. We used ordered lists to put the instructions and unordered lists to add the ingredients to make the recipe. The element we learned in this project would be the video element, so that we could insert almost any video into a website. I used a table to represent the nutrition facts, one of the most surprising being one of the dishes having more protein than the other, thinking it would be the other way around.
For the video element, we take the link of the video, translate it and download it so that in case of it being taken down, we don’t lose it. Then we insert it into the coding platform and rename it so that it is easier to use. You should have 2 lines in case one doesn’t work, one being an mp4 and the other being an ogg. Underneath the 2 lines of code for the video, but inside the video element you should put something along the lines of “video is not loading”. If this does not work, there may be a different way of inserting the video, but we have not learned other methods other than just posting the link into the website.
One of the few “tough” projects that we did was the personal organizer. Inside that program we improved our skills of using arrays in python, which are lists that hold values. I also had to use multiple functions for different ways of confirming whether a given value was valid. One of the hardest parts of the validate day was confirming if it was a leap year.
When I was going into this project and I saw the instructions, I thought that it would take forever to complete it. It didn’t take that long, because the moment I took my time to actually read and think, the functions all meshed together and made sense. The largest problem I had was when I tried using the functions, I needed to make them a variable, but I didn’t and now I know what to do in a problem like that. The assignment for me lasted about 2-3 days and if I noticed my very simple problems, then it could have been done about 1 day faster.
