Well I've been in class for a few weeks now and I'm learning bit by bit. This is my first time working with JavaScript and Ajax. So I know there's a big learning curve. I was really nervous about iteration 1. I know the professor said that the first program would be pretty simple, well maybe simple for someone who has had JavaScript experience. I got started on iteration 1 a week early. I don't think i knew exactly what to do. I used the professors example as a reference and then I went from there.
I had a bit of trouble in the beginning, I had a few errors in the program. in the script tag i forget to put the name of my JavaScript file. Also the naming of titles in my HTML didn't match the names in the JavaScript. The biggest issue is just trying figure out why the program is not working. I found after checking for errors several times and then loading my program to the server it finally worked. It only worked when i put it on the server. I know the professor and several other students said that loading the program to the server may help.
I think the hardest part of iteration one is figuring out how to start or what you want your program to do. once you plan it you just need to put the program together sometimes its easier said then done.
I agree with you. The hardest part for me was envisioning what I wanted to do. Once I got the HTML put together it was much easier to look at the examples and try to compose the code. I'm right there with you.
ReplyDeleteThe individual projects sound like they are going to be really easy but even a simple Ajax application takes time and a lot of thought. I feel it is going to take a lot of time to figure it out and get it to work.
