  • (c) Update your hours in your Senior Project Hours link. Make sure it is clearly labeled with hours for individual sessions as well as total hours.
  • (d) Explain what you completed.    
    • I made a weather app and it might not be gorgeous. However it is completely functional, works in every city in all 50 states and has the most solid code backing it. Most of my hours were spent researching with my mentor however I'm not sure I'm allowed to count them towards my mentorship hours so I'm calling them component hours
  • INTERPRETIVE 

  • My finished product. Not bad not bad. But to get to this point was a ridiculous amount of trial and error that drove me nuts and I'm happy with what I've got
  • Here is one example of the ridiculous amount of lines of code that go in to such a simple program. I made an error on purpose and the line number can be seen in the lower right with the warning triangle. It reads error in line 16150.
  • Here is my HTML where I wrote in the reference call for the different table elements and my ability to simply name all 50 states. Not validate them and reference them.
  • APPLIED
    For one I learned that it's very easy to hit audiences with an app like the one I built. A lot of  development is researching. And I made sure to tailor my component to my EQ. My best knowledge on my topic came from sitting for hours and hours straight trying to understand to the fullest extent, what I was writing.
