Work Completed for Unit 7

Before starting this unit I needed to once again do some research. I had to figure out what exactly an external data source was. Luckily it didn’t take as long to figure out what an external data source was compared to what a jQuery was.

 

Learning outcomes completed

  • I am now able to use JavaScript to access and use web service for dynamic content
  • I learnt what exactly an external data source is
  • I learn that I can use other websites to make my website have more functions

 

What went well, what could be improved, what was difficult

Coding the map to display in my contact page was simpler then I was expecting. It only took me a few hrs when I was expecting to spend all day on the project. Surprisingly enough it actually look me longer to figure out how to put the Facebook features in my website. I was surprised at this because Facebook is such a popular site I was expecting it to much faster than it was to implement the features I wanted to include. As for things that were difficult, there weren’t really any. Like any codding it take time, but it was fairly smooth sailing because I didn’t have any major issues.

 

What I would do differently

Nothing went really wrong so if I had to do it again I would do it the same.
