Week 3: Javascript Exercise – Murray Lu

http://imanas.shanghai.nyu.edu/~mwl323/week3/emptyExample-intro-to-js/index.html

This assignment was definitely really challenging for me, but I found that when I was finished, I had already learned so much about coding and it was a great exercise for me. Although it was hinted on the slides to make the html and CSS first, I decided to just start with the html and JavaScript first instead. For some reason, despite learning CSS before JavaScript, I found that applying the JavaScript wasn’t too difficult and was rather pretty straightforward. Perhaps this was why during recitation on Thursday (despite having zero background in coding even though my brother is a computer science major and my father used to be a software engineer), I was able to follow through and understand what was going on for the first time in class when we learned about JavaScript. So for this assignment, creating the JavaScript was the least of my worries. I also felt like I had a much better understanding of html this time because I still remember how on the very first assignment, we were tasked to use html to create a personal portfolio. But this time around, the html part was the least of my worries for this assignment. However, I still had a lot of trouble with the CSS part just like I did for the last assignment. But after a lot of trial and error as well as getting help from the IMA Learning Assistants and using W3School, I was finally able to complete the assignment.
