Get your work done on time
If you don't finish your work in class, I highly recommend that you
finish it after school. It is really easy to fall behind on
assignments and catching up at the end of a term isn't as easy as it
may seem. This class is full of infomation and remembering all of it can be difficult.
Use Auto-Generated Styles
If you aren't great a styling your sites, using auto-generated
color palettes and
font generators will be your best friend.
Be Consistent With Names
There is a lot of naming things and if you aren't consisten
with how you work, I suggest you figure it out. For example, Mrs. Bishop is consistent with the first part of a variable
having a lowercase letter and the second part having an uppercase letter. While this clearly works for her, it didn't for
me. When following notes, I was switching between the variables she used and the ones that came easiest to me (all lowercase
names because I can't comfortably click shift). Pick whatever comes easiest to you and stick with it.
Learn How to Type With All of Your Fingers
In this course, we do a lot of side by side notes with
Mrs. Bishop. If you are a slow typer, it can be easy to fall behind. Taking just 10 minutes a day to impove your typing can
greatly inprove your skills. Typing is also becoming an important life skill, so it never hurts to improve. There are fun
typing games like ztype (kinda like Galaga, but typing based)and typing tests like Monkey Type (you can customize the colors at the bottom). Both of these websites make learning how oto type fun!
