To start this unit I went to w3schools to learn how to use JQuery. After that, I made a new random HTML page to start testing some things out and just play around with JQuery in general. Now that I had some experience using JQuery I decided I wanted to change how my side navbar opened and closed for mobile users to use JQuery I also wanted to make the toggle for challenge solutions to work with JQuery too. I also wanted to add a new feature for users that were not on a phone, the ability to click on an image, and be shown a blown-up version so that they could view the image larger. As far as adding a new useful feature goes though I was not able to come up with any ideas. This is due to the fact that I want the site design to not be all that flashy or have animations everywhere. So were the complexity of JQuery is concerned there was nothing all that complicated to add to the site.
Almost everything went over pretty smoothly, the only that wasn't all that convenient was that I refactored some of the HTML of the pages because I found a better way of doing things.
Overall, I don't think there is anything that I would do differently aside from hopefully find some feature to add that is a little more complex to implement.
How to use JQuery was it. I am far from a master's in it but I learned how to use its a basic function and other operation as well as add plugins (even though I did not need any). I also learned how to make a plugin (but I did not make one).
When you have completed this unit, you should be able to use JavaScript libraries (e.g. JQuery) to create dynamic pages.
- My ability to use JQery is shown in Site Files/Scipts/myJQuery.js. Where I use JQuery the change CSS and make use of an array of JQuery methods.
B - As I did not write anything that was all too complicated.
