Hey, this week was my second week working as an STA and I got to spend majority of my time this week working on my training assignments for web development. I’m really passionate and interested in developing a lot more in the future, so I really enjoyed getting to learn more about the more programming-based aspects of being an STA.
For the first two assignments, I used the inspect element tool on the LAITS website and got familiarized with using git/github to update my code.
Finally, I created a Google Slides presentation to recap the basics of the network communication behind websites at this link: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/17DDB9X6w8SLe34A-k0s3oAyGvhqJZU5f8600OadVzwc/edit?usp=sharing
One thing I learned about was that HTML, CSS, and Javascript files worked together to compose a component file. Once a server receives a request and approves it, it sends back the component files to the browser to display it to the user. I have worked with the three scripting languages I mentioned above to a limited extent, so I am excited to continue creating bigger things and expanding my knowledge in this field!
In addition, Suloni seemed to enjoy the design for my slides, so today she was kind enough to ask me to help her work on a flyer and screen ad for a COLA course. I’m excited to tap my toes into the design field, since I’ve never done too much of it before.
