Lab: 4
JavaScript 2 - Quiz Builder
Link to Website

Overall Objective(s): Create Two HTML Pages that Store and Retrieve LocalStorage Quiz Objects

What I enjoyed about this Lab: Working w/ Local Storage, it was interesting to see how that functionality of browsers worked

What I disliked about this Lab: The utilization of Classes for quizzes and a quizlist, I tried repeatedly to utilize class methods, but it just wasn't working, leading me to elect to use a variable to create quiz local storage objects based on localstorage.length and how many "Quizzes" were already in local storage, and get them using an integer in a retrieval method of "get.Parse("Quiz + integer");

Techniques Applied throughout Dynamic HTML Pages:
Id/Class/Element Selectors
JS Named Functions (mainly event handlers in this instance)
Local Storage get and set with JSON.Stringify() and .Parse()
JQuery Functionality

Lab 5 – JQuery, AJAX, and Web APIs

Project Description
Home Real Estate Program

Link to Project w/ WebAPI Code

Overall Objective(s): Create a working WebAPI and Application in which users can add, delete, get, and update Homes to A Database.

What I enjoyed about this Lab: Working w/ the DB and Bulma (as I did in the tutorial, it is pretty much the same in appearance besides some color and column changes), it was interesting, as the amount of CSS we used was really small in comparison to previous projects, only that being some padding and backgroundColor properties a majority of the time

What I disliked about this Lab: Some hiccups with the attempt implementation of Ajax, as I, in the same fashion of the Tutorial Project, employed XMLHttpRequests.

Techniques Applied throughout Dynamic HTML Page:
Bulma Framework - Modals Toggled On and Off
Bulma Framework - Columns for appearance
Bulma framework - Cards For appearance
Bulma framework - Static Buttons For appearance

Tutorial Project

Project Description
Book Reviewer w/ Bulma Framework

Link to Project w/ WebAPI Code

Overall Objective(s): Utilize the Bulma framework, along with a Web API (nonfunctional at this link) and Books and Reviews DB, to create a book review application in which users can search for books based on filters, add books and reviews, delete them, and/or get recommendations based on similar genre and same authors

What I enjoyed about this Lab: Working w/ the DB and Bulma, it was interesting, as the amount of CSS we used was really small in comparison to previous projects, only that being some padding and backgroundColor properties a majority of the time

What I disliked about this Lab: Some hiccups with the attempt implementation of Ajax, as we ended up using XMLHTTP Requests to make calls to the Web API and its get, post, and delete methods
