What's the coolest thing you've learned in this class so far this year? Now that you have a little knowledge, what do you want to learn that you don't know how to do yet?

This class has been very interesting because it has taught me to code with CSS and HTML and has let me applied it by creating websites about me and my interesting life. The coolest thing I have learned in this class is that I could change the layout of my website. I can make my website look exactly what I want it to look like with nice font and pretty colors. In the future, what I want to learn is how to use Python in Code Academy. I think it would be cool to be able to learn Python coding because I can do more things with my coding skills!

Tell me all about your Sweetheart weekend (even if you sat at home on the couch!). Include photos!

My Sweetheart weekend was great because I got to hang out with a bunch of my Jewish friends and go to Comedy City. Friday night was awesome because I got to go to someones house and eat a Jewish dinner with a lot of my Jewish friends. We played games like chess and got to eat delicious desserts like cookies. I spent the night at that house with my friend Amit and we hung out with Andy, our friend from New York. The next day, I went to the BSA merit badge forum at the Church of the Resurrection and got training for planning an eagle project. The, I helped out with a mock trial case and was the defense attorney. My client was found guilty and I left with disappointment that I couldn't win that course case. Later that day, I was reunited with my Jewish friends and we went to ComedyCity and saw a lot of funny skits. On Sunday, I stayed home and did a bunch of my homework. I was pleased to see that the Patriots won the Superbowl!This was my Sweetheart fun filled weekend.

What is a website wireframe? Explain. If you don't know what it is, look it up. Find an image online to place on your blog that represents a website wireframe and how they work

A website wireframe is a visual guide that represents the skeleton of a website. We use wireframes because  it helps us to arrange elements to best accomplish a particular purpose. For example, if I was to make a website the wireframe would help me to accomplish what I want the website to be about. It would be the backbone of the websites structure and it shows the page layout of a website's information. I can also use a website wireframe to focus on what the computer screen of the website looks like.

Finish this sentence "10 years from now I will be...."

10 years from now I will be finishing my college masters degree for computer programming from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. I will have bought a house in Boston and will be living there working for a company like Google. I will be paid plenty of money and will have a boat that I can ride on the Boston shore lines. I will have plenty of friends to hang with and we would have a spot at a bar we will meet at every weekend to talk about life. The last thing that would be nice is that I am married to a beautiful girl who likes computer programming as well.

Tell me about your weekend. Go.

My weekend was fun because I got to represent the school and play at a Rockhurst chess tournament. At this chess tournament I went with 2 wins and 4 losses which allowed me to qualify for state. I also watched as my friend Ben went and placed 19th in the tournament which is awesome! Afterward, I got to hang with my other friend Dean and we got to have a sleepover. We talked a lot and played video games like Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare and Black Ops 2. The next day, we went to my house and played more games. Once he left, I made pasta for myself and worked on AP Human Geography and Honors ELA homework.

Kids these days are so immature because of there gizmos and gadgets no one gives a crud about. Back in my day, I would be outside on my bike but electronics have corrupted the new generations. For peat sake's, the day I get my kid of a phone is the day I meet a angel. Those gizmos and gadgets ain't nothing but trouble. I know that there are to many gadgets like those I phones and I pads. I'm surprised that we still have war with nuclear missiles everywhere.I hope i'm dead by the time those things go of on my house. Why has this society been so STUPID! We are eons behind future medicine because of these dumb gizmos and gadgets. Oh and also I am sick of seeing my kid stare at a dumb box with that "enjoyment" they crave. They are frying there brains! So, yes I very much dislike the future.

What do you find the most confusing and frustrating part of web design and HTML code so far? What would make it easier? What don't you understand? What do you understand? Explain yourself.

The most confusing thing that has happened in this class so far is definitely the website we started yesterday. I was lost and behind because my computer didn't have Google Drive downloaded. Finally, when I figured out how to download Google Drive I was behind because everyone was getting instructions while I was on the first step. I asked my side partner for help and he helped me catch up but I still got confused with instructions so I had to stay after school to catch up. It would have been easier if instructions were said slower and the teacher made sure everyone was on the same page. What I understood was most of the instructions the last 1/4 of the instructions I did not comprehend. I didn't know how to make multiple pages for the new web site which made me fall behind.
