Journey

Process
Understanding Requirements: Start by breaking down what the project/task demands. For instance, creating a visually engaging webpage required understanding HTML/CSS for layout and JavaScript for interactivity.
Experimentation: Testing different approaches—like deciding how to animate backgrounds or create a snowfall effect—helps refine your skills.
Iteration: Implementing features incrementally, debugging, and improving upon feedback ensures the final product meets expectations.
Integration: Combining various skills (e.g., styling in CSS, scripting in JavaScript) into a cohesive whole demonstrates your ability to integrate knowledge.

What I Learned

Technical Knowledge: Deepened understanding of DOM manipulation, animation effects, and event-driven programming in JavaScript.
Creative Problem-Solving: Learned how to create visually appealing yet functional design elements, like responsive backgrounds or snowfall effects.
Importance of User Experience: Realized that small touches, like smooth animations or snowfall, make a big difference in engagement.
Debugging and Testing: Strengthened debugging skills and the importance of testing across devices and browsers.
What You’re Proud Of
Visual Impact: Successfully creating a dynamic, visually stunning experience with animations and snowfall.
