Suloni asked me to create an “Advanced Cascade Tutorial” on the Knowledge Base since I’ve been doing a lot of Cascade stuff recently. She asked me to start with a tutorial on creating tables! You can check out the tutorial here, but here’s some screenshots.
Today I sat in on a PhotoShop lesson that Chloe, Tate, and Jac were putting on for the Mellon scholars. I have zero (0) experience with PhotoShop so this little class was great for me to dip my toes into design! Here’s my finished product!!!
Suloni asked me to migrate the Cascade Tutorial for STA admins that was on UT Box to Knowledge Base. I migrated the Tutorial, updated some of the instructions & screenshots as that the databases & interfaces had changed since the last update.
So if you ever find yourself having to learn Cascade as an STA, you’ll be using my site. :0
Suloni had me complete the Cascade training tutorials with the hopes that I’ll be able to finish some Cascade projects this semester. Here’s the finished result!! I overall thought it was super fun and turned out pretty cute.
One of the tasks was to create an “invisible” page and to create a “magic trick” with it. Here’s some snapshots of what it looked like.
Another cool task was to enter in the LAITS address & then link the box to a Google Maps display of the location. Here’s the output.
There were some cool other things like add related links (fellow STA links are linked now :’)) and contact information (I had clickers drop a line to Leonardo da Vinci). Overall I really liked working with Cascade!! I’m excited for some more projects. 🙂
Since I started working later into the Fall Semester, I never created an avatar to join the other STAs in the “Backyard Party” banner at the head of this blog! So, we knew we had to remedy that so that’s what I did today. Valerie was so helpful in helping me use PhotoShop & finding an online Youtube tutorial that would make my avatar look more “cartoony.” Here’s the finished result!! Not bad for a first try.
I’m baaaack!! Hey STA-ers, we’re finally back from Winter Break. So ready to start off Spring Semester!! After speaking with Suloni, it looks like for this month I’ll be working on learning how to use Cascade to help with faculty maintaining their pages. I’ll also be learning Canvasser and how to manage the assets to help with the VLabs!
So today I started the Cascade tutorials. Here’s my finished product.
Short blog post but there’s more to come 🙂
