WIT Hour of Code

With the WIT Hour of Code I was able to be qualified with a certificate of understanding basic code. I was also able to go to the Adobe Hour of Code Convention. It was super cool and i was very impressed with the new adobe building in Utah. I was able to talk to many of the booths that were set up and was also able to investigate some of the programs, such as; Blendr, Wasatch Institute of Technology, and the Piston mini computers. (image below)This was a very cool experience and I hope that you will check out the Hour of Code.

CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets. In my own words it shows the advanced properties of a webpage.  I am mostly done with my food website.

Anchor: Marks where a hyperlink begins and ends.

Button: Graphic that acts like a link.

Hotspot: Button that connects within the website.

Hyperlink: Allows opening related web pages by clicking the mouse.

Hypermedia: Electronic linking of related media.

Hypertext: System of writing that allows for linking to other pages.

Link: Allowing user to jump from page to page.

Rollover: Graphic element that changes appearance when activated.

Target: Lets user link to a specific place.

White Space...

White space can be used for many things. It doesn't even have to be "white" space, it can be many different colors. White space isnt just for filling space that you have left over, it can be used to border things like  tables or pictures. It even can be used to "fill the space" to balance a page.

White space can be used to focus your attention on a central or shifted force... an example would be Google. "Less is More."

          After reading an article about Google, for article follow link,
(http://www.webdesignerdepot.com/2013/09/is-google-finished/) I decided that Google was not finished and probably not be finished for a long time, if ever. My reasons; Will technology ever be done advancing? And will there ever be no competitors? I don't think that Google will ever finish due to the demand and also due to necessity to stay ahead of other businesses and web mega-companies.

I think blogs are great to use and a helpful item for many things. I like blogs but I don't get around to doing it that much. I would like to blog outside of just webpage design for things that are going on in my life. I would also like to do blogs for YouTube videos and such. I love the format for blogs and I would probably still use Blogger because it is fast, easy to use, and user friendly. It is also free unlike many blogging sites.
