Week 3: Training Overview.

April 8, 2022 By Hoa Truong

This has been my third week working as a STA. It has been a really exciting journey for me because I have learned new things everyday.

For this week, I have been working on the Grav assignments, particularly are creating my own Grav site and practicing making my Grav page become visible to other users.

Here are the screenshots of my first Grav site including the “Home Screen” and “About

This assignment helped me learn a lot of new things such as how to add the content to the site, add the logo to the banner,…

After finishing creating my first Grav site, I started working on “Write Documentation via Admin Help Docs”.

I practiced cloning the admin-helpdocs repo to my laptop and then moved it to the grav-admin folder.

After that, I finished the assignment by creating the Help Docs page and make it visible to my sub Grav account.

Finally, when I log in to my sub account, I am able to see the Help Docs page shared by my main account.

Overall, I am very excited for what I have learned and things I will learn in the future 🙂 .

Week 2: Web Dev Basics

April 1, 2022 By Hoa Truong

For my second week, I have been learning and practicing new skills for Web Dev Basics assignments.

Github is one of my favorite tool. It is the tool to share your coding project and for developers to work on their projects.

I have uploading my first repository to share some information about myself and also practice using Github to upload my future coding projects.

I have also learnt so many new things about the Website such as Clients and Servers, DNS, and Component Files,…

To reflect my understanding for Website, I made a powerpoint to summary everything I learnt.

After that, Inspect was the next tool that I learnt and applied. I could see the component files of a website using Inspect and know how to do changes on the website.

Last but not least, I really enjoy learning and practicing Web Accessibility Standards assignment. It provides a lot of valuable information about how we should design our website,  the format of the information we want to share on our website.

I had the opportunity to work on analyzing different infographics and what we should do to improve the site’s accessibility. With the feedback from Ingrid, I have learnt a lot about the need of using Tab key to navigate where the users are on the website.

Overall, I have learnt a lot of valuable skills and hopefully I can apply them to produce the best products for the LAITS team. 🙂

First Week as an STA

March 23, 2022 By Hoa Truong

Today, March 25th marks my first week of working as an STA. I am very excited and thankful for having this opportunity to work and contribute to the LAITS team.  I gained a lot of valuable information about STA, LAITS during the orientation. It was a really good time.

During my first week, I designed my self portrait. I learnt how to use photoshop to crop the image.

This is the picture of my self portrait.

Also, I finished the handbook webpage. The idea is to make a flip book and each page of the book contains the information from the handbook that I found interesting.
