Unit 7 - Reflection

For this unit, I added a simple, scroll activated ‘chat’ box for users to communicate when they reach a certain ‘scroll’ point. I had a bit of trouble activating this plugin at first, due to the ‘bootstrap’ framework stylesheet overriding many of my native styles.

I also added social media share buttons to the footer as well in order to add a way to share my website through social media.

I have revised my website on many responsive displays and dimensions, but I regret being unable to actually finish all the mobile animations, a task for another day.

 Thank you for the wonderful opportunity to partake in such an educational program. Due to this class, I now feel more confident in my ability to continue to learn javascript and jQuery. I want to keep exploring many other libraries such as angular.js and fiddle.js in the future to further expand my knowledge as a developer.
