My First Web Application Project at Flatiron School

For my first project at Flatiron School, I was given a task to build a Single Page Application (SPA) by using only HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The data had to be accessed from a public API. All communication would be through JSON fetch requests. Before coming up with a plan, we must understand what an API is. An API stands for Application Programming Interfaces. It provides an easier syntax to use by allowing difficult features to be more easy to use.
After carefully planning my project, I started building my HTML file. It is used to format my structure of the application. Unfortunately, you don’t get to see your work come alive yet.
Here’s where JavaScript comes in! JavaScript is an object orient programming language designed to allow users to create interactive and responsive web pages.
Now here comes the fun part! Creating the CSS file allows you to customize the HTML elements by defining styles that includes the layout, the design, and much more. You can play around with the features until the application is the way you want it to be!
Here is my full code: https://github.com/hanaxdo/phase-1-javascript-project-mode

I have just started my journey in becoming a software engineer at Flatiron School. I was stuck in retail management after graduating from college while trying to pursue a career in marketing. During quarantine, I felt it was a sign for me to look for other options and possibly choose another career path. I came across coding through a friend. At first it all seemed so intimidating to learn but I figured I have nothing to lose and had enough time to dedicate my time to learning to code. I did a lot of research and applied for several coding bootcamp schools. I felt that Flatiron School was the best choice for me after speaking to one of the admissions team members.

I wanted to go into a career path where I was being challenged everyday. I want to feel like I have done something productive and learn a lot of new things at the end of the day. After years of failing to pursue my dream, I believe Flatiron School will give me another chance in finding a stable career. I finally feel hopeful and I’m looking forward to this journey!
