(c) Update your Independent Component 2 Log - Tah Dah, all done
(d) For my independent component #2 I taught myself JavaScript and jQuery using the book cited above. I counted only 50% of my time learning because I feel like although it was necessary, it would be an unfair way of picking up hours. With the two languages I was able to create a full website, that I turned into a faux store. The store has large fancy jQuery animations that each took hours, even with my mentor's help. Taking a few code languages and making them work together is like taking people who all speak different languages and telling them to cooperate and make something nice. There's going to be a lot of issues. And of course the issues are what takes the longest to fix. The longest (smiling through agony).
(e)
This is just the beginning format to tell the computer that there will be a website. The reference to the jsonp, which is necessary for all websites takes the lower portion. Locating a json file for my website took a few hours, but it worked well enough for me to work off of. I also added a popup feature so that when the site is visited, the consumer is greeted with a, "Welcome to the Shop," this small page alone took hours, because of how much I needed to go back and reference.
This is the code to get one option for the pulldown menus at the top of the page. Imagine all the options I need like footwear, sweaters, t-shirts, button ups, sportswear, bottoms, accessories.
My Pulldown Menus actually work. Thank god they work.
My homepage, not bad for a first timer in a store. I attempted to go for a more new's style layout. So it's like a user's number one place to go to for clothes and new fashion. This tactic was taken from Nike's SNKRS, which is the first to make new releases for shoes and Nike products into a timeline instead of just a place to buy.
This is for animating a pulldown menu, which is different from the actual information that goes in. This animates it and reflects it to however many other menu's I need to gather.
This is what I used to enlarge images when a mouse is hovered over. Each of these take me hours. Honestly just learning how to do stuff like this in the first place would be enough to fill the 30 hours. It's a whole new language and I need to know how to use it and make sure it doesn't break.
My Men's Section, works with the header always in the same place and items hiding behind it to keep a clean look as suggested in my research.
(f)How did the component help you answer your EQ? Please include specific examples to illustrate how it helped.
My EQ is, "What is the most useful web application for all audiences, and how can those audiences be reached?" Just like mt first answer, my Independent component was a platform to build my answer instead of leaving it on paper. I built what I said would be the most useful web application, and to reach all audiences I decided that a "purchase" of $300 in Google Adsense would be the best way to get out word of a store. The work and research I put into my component, is my actual second answer. First, I designed a store that was friendly on the eyes, and followed a template I made up that followed the rules of thumb my research pointed to. This includes font, background color, image mapping, and content. After my store was complete, This component is important to my topic and my EQ because it stresses my skill and gives me insight to the actually possible for a web product.
