DECO1800 Course reflection Meeting expectations: From first blog Based on what I know of this course, I expect to be doing advanced website design and construction(advanced javascript and php) this semester. I want to learn/experience/do more complex website that involves using multiple functions that can fetch data from database and also more functionality with javascript and php.

After the wireframe is drawn, I though about the content that I could put on the website. And found that DECO1400 personal interactive story book website and DECO1800 group project can be counted as main web development projects. And i believe my other two python projects from CSSE1001 can also count as software development projects. Besides projects, I also thought about other parts in the webpage, like About Me and Contact Me sections. And thus, I did a more detail and accurate design drawing. In implementation, most images i used were from creative commons, the rest images were created by me (either photography or drawing) Main page finished About me sectoin fin...
