Iteration 1: AHHHHHHHH!


Iteration 1 is due on Wednesday! Have I started, that would be a firm, NO! But I have at least thought about it and am very worried that it won't live up to the expectations of the class. I've never done AJAX or heard of it before this class. I will try and do my best but like Drake said if it doesn't work, we don't get credit. I was thinking about doing something with a picture like the lab but with a button like Drake's example. I don't even know where to begin with this process. I guess I can try it first and then see what happens with it.


For starters, I guess I can read over the lab again and try to go over Drake's example. If I still confused which I probably will be, I'll probably check out the w3schools site to see if they can help me on a beginners level.


I'm just hoping that I can get through the course. I'm curious to know what other people are doing for iteration one as well as how they're doing. Is anyone else frustrated with this programming language that has no compiler which we have gotten so used to? If I'm struggling I might be asking my classmates for help so be prepared classmates because I will probably be confused and frustrated by Wednesday.

  1. I so totally agree with you. I thought the first individual project was going to be easy but I was WRONG!!! It sounds like it is really easy but it is not. I hope everyone can figure it out by Wed!

  2. The individual project is for us to work on the code some more by ourselves so when it is time for group work we will be able to contribute. He also said many times to make it a "simple" application. When that was in my brain it made me relax a little. I think a lot of people are trying to create an END OF SEMESTER project when we are trying to just create an milestone. I hope this helps.

  3. Yeah I know programming in general can be frustrating and so i tried to start on iteration 1 early and in the beginning i was just lost but after talking with Drake it helped a lot.

  4. Nothing in this class has been as easy as it appeared on the surface. I have been trying to take just one step at a time and one day at a time. My first post is still very true.. there is too much information available to us and we are getting lost in sorting it all out to find the information we need to finish our projects.
