Part 2

HOMEWORK

  • Assignment: your choice!
    • Create your own playground with at least 5 DOM elements, 3 listeners (onclick, onchange, etc.) and 2 functions besides initialization (set up). Link to your Github Repo AND Github Pages URL.
    • Or, create a single web page that uses AJAX (fetch); to load and display data from one of The New York Times APIs. Your page should also include at least one form of "user interaction".
    • Bonus: Use Github Desktop to create a new branch in your midterm project. Link to the branch's Github Repo.
  • Prepare a presentation for your Final Project idea. Your presentation should be shareable. Include a moodboard, site map, and wireframes. The final assignment is similar to the midterm in that you are expected to have a complete idea and a reason for why you want to make this. You are responsible for making a web application that is thoughtfully designed and built for a responsive experience and utilizes at least one API to populate data or introduce a service to your app. This API can be from a content management system (CMS) powering a personal portfolio. You are allowed to continue work on your midterm project (but I expect to see a significant update) or pivot to a new idea.
