Week 8

Today we were shown what hour of code was. We were told to jump right in and pick whatever games we wanted to see what coding really is. I started with a harder game and finished with an easier one. The games made you critically think without really showing you that you were doing what coding is. I took away from this that coding is simply just a long list of moves for the computer to do to create something awesome. Then we used dreamworks to begin on making a website. It is very interesting that you have to edit your website in the application and then go to the website to see how it actually what you have made. It seems every plan and boring, but it is awesome to see how the basics of a website is made. I don't know how much I would use this application down the road because it does seem very complex, but the website looks very plain. After being introduced to this application I can see why people are intimidated by it. After working in dreamworks for awhile the application became more complex and more scary, but it was so cool to see how the website grows. Today was just another day of learning something new. I can't wait to see what next week has in store. Until next time!
