My Phase 1 Project

My Phase 1 Project was a random joke API. I chose the random joke API because I like jokes and I thought it was easy to build for my first project.

It was a bit challenging at first because I had to create a HTML file from scratch, but I was able to do so from the skills I obtained from my first few weeks in class and how to use Google to get exactly what I needed. In my HTML I had a body, sections, div’s, buttons and gained the knowledge on how to add emoji’s to my code. I also was also able to link it to my JS & CSS files .

Writing my CSS was fun because I found a CSS cheat sheet that had all the CSS syntax and how to use them. So I played around until I got what I needed. I was able to gain some knowledge in using border radius, alignment, flex, padding and lots of other cool things using CSS has to offer. With everything that was to offer I still tried to keep it simple.

Creating my JS file was also challenging because I had to use the skills I obtained to google what methods I needed to use and how to execute it using add eventlisters. I was able to make my buttons fire off when clicked on, and used fetch methods to get needed information from the API. I also learned how to add media sound to a like buttons while researching on this project in which case I used successfully.

Overall I used all three languages I have learned in school and was able to create my first project. I love my project and think I did a great job doing it all by myself. I hope it could bring some laughter and positive vibes to anyone who comes across it.
