We started off today with learning about assignment three. This assignment is for the actual designing of the website. We have to create a website about ourselves and include features such as a table, 5 pages and images. I have started to plan my website however I did not have too much time to do so as I was working on assignment two.
I firstly worked on assignment two task two as it is in for Friday and I had a bit left to do. I had to write about CAPTCHA, Data Protection Act and Barclays policy on data protection. This took a bit of time as I had to research all of the different parts. In the end I managed to get it done just before lunch so after lunch I could work on assignment three.
Finally I worked on assignment three. I worked on designing a structure diagram for my site as this was the first part I needed to do. This did not take too long however I did have to come up with my different webpages. After that I worked on designing my web pages. I managed to get the design I wanted down and I just need to add the information to all of the other pages.

Tuesday - Assignment two nearly finished!
As I had finished and submitted assignment one yesterday, I aimed to get most of assignment two done today. There are two tasks in assignment two and they did not seem too hard to complete. We started off learning about task two with a group activity. We all had a term to research about and get the definition of it. This was quite good for learning about the different terms for task two.
After that I started off with task one. I had not started other than create the file so I had quite a bit to do. There were the user side factors and the server side factors that I had to write about. In the end this was not too hard to write about and it did not take me too long as it was only for a pass.
Finally I worked on assignment two task two. For task two we have to write about different security threats and different ways of preventing it. In the end I had done most of it and I only have a little bit left to write about. I will finish this off tomorrow or on Thursday.

Monday - Assignment work
We started off today with learning about assignment two. This assignment has two tasks in it and we have to explain about user and server sides of loading a webpage. I did not start this today as I wanted to finish off assignment one as it is due in Wednesday.
I firstly worked on task three as I had a bit left to do. This took quite a bit of time because I had to research all of the different key terms as I had no idea what they meant. I managed to finish this just before lunch so I could work on task four.
I started to work on task four after lunch. I was aiming to finish this today so I could work on assignment two tomorrow. Task four was not that hard as we had done some of the work beforehand. This did not take as long as I expected so I managed to finish it off just in time.

Friday - More assignment work completed!
We started off today with the quiz that Brandon made as he forgot to make it for yesterday. The quiz was about a web designing site called MGR. It was quite an interesting video and I managed to get 6/8 that I was pretty proud with.
After that we moved onto working on our work. I had started T2 and I still had a bit left to do so my aim for today was to finish off T2 and start T3. I had to write about two hosting services and write about the structure of a domain. This took quite some time to do however in the end I managed to finish it.
Finally I worked on task three. I spent the rest of the day working on it and in the end I managed to nearly two of the diagrams done. I will try to finish off T3 either other the weekend or on Monday as I have not a lot left to do.

Thursday - Assignment work!
For most of the day we have been working on assignment one. We did not have the normal quiz today as Brandon forgot to create it. I was aiming today to complete assignment one task one and start task two. There are four tasks for assignment one so there is quite a lot to do.
I worked on assignment one task one to start off with. I had finished a good chunk of it however I still had quite a bit to do. This took quite some time to finish but in the end I managed to finish it just before lunch that I was happy with.
Finally I worked on assignment one task two. This task is mainly about web hosting services and the domain registrars. It seems quite straightforward so I do not think it would take too long to complete. I will be aiming to finish off task two and work on task three tomorrow.

Tuesday - Starting assignment one!
We started off today with a little video that was quite funny. It was a comedy about the internet and it was in a box. If that box was dropped so much would happen and it fell and everyone went pretty crazy in the video. This was quite funny and it was a nice break into assignment one.
After the video we did a quiz about terms in assignment one. I was not too good at that however quite a few people were not too good at it. After it we went into pairs and had to do some research about the terms. We were all assigned one term each and we had to work in pairs. We were assigned application layer and that was quite easy to find out about.
For the rest of the day we were working assignment one task one. I was aiming to finish the first part and in the end I did. I will be aiming to finish off most of it on Thursday as it is not too hard to do. I have about six parts left to write about and I am done.

Monday - New unit!
Today we started off the next unit that is web design. I have done web design once at high school however we never went into too much detail with it. I have wanted to learn how to create websites with code so I hope I will enjoy this unit.
We cracked straight on with learning about HTML. The program we were using for writing the HTML was Notepad ++. I had never used Notepad ++ before so it was another new thing to learn about. Notepad ++ is pretty handy because it highlights the code that allows you to easily understand it.
After we finished learning the basics from Zoe, we moved onto practicing our HTML/CSS skills. I decided to experiment with the CSS. I wanted to learn about if you could change the cursor when they are on the website. I managed to find out this however the cursor could not be animated. I also found out about adding a background colour as well.

Thursday
We started off the day with matching starter. These were quite helpful as it is a good way to start off learning about the criteria for assignment 4. The first one was to match up the pass / merit / distinction with the criteria. I found this useful for breaking into assignment four.
After that we moved onto creating our survey and doing other peoples surveys. It was interesting to see other peoples animations and review them as we have only been working with our own animation most of the time. Creating the survey took quite a bit of time to create because we were filling in other peoples surveys at the same time.
We sent out the survey and got the responses to write about. I am aiming for a merit so I need to write about 400 words that is not too much. I am writing about three of the questions we asked and I have nearly finished the second one. I can finish a large majority of the work today so I will not have a lot to do tomorrow.

Tuesday - Submitting assignment three
Today our main aim was to submit assignment three as it was due in for today. We had finished our animation however we still had some paperwork to do and we needed to add some titles and credits. The starter of the day was a maths game. It was called "You cant do simple maths under pressure". Hence the name, it was a game that tested our math skills. In the end I managed to get to level seven then I stopped.
After that we moved onto working on assignment two and three. We wanted to finish assignment three first as it was due into today however we worked on bits at a time. I started off writing about some pictures on task three. This took quite some time as I was also working on assignment two.
After we finished all of the written work for assignment two and three, we worked on adding the titles and credits. The music was out so we had to edit it down. This took some time as we also had to change the volume of the music. In the end we finished the editing and the work has been submitted.
