Blog Entry - Assignment Reflection

Date: October 8, 2023

1. What challenges or troubles did you have with completing this assignment? How did you work through them?

I had challenges and troubles with Git and GitHub. I found it a little confusing to use separate devices and was also unsure about committing and pushing. However, I figured it out later by watching YouTube tutorials and attending office hours.

2. What did you learn from this assignment? What did you already know?

The most important thing I learned from this assignment is how to use Git and GitHub, which I'm new to. I hope to improve my skills in the future. I already knew HTML, so that part was easy for me, but Git and GitHub were a bit confusing.

3. What resources (e.g. specific web articles, the class Campuswire forum, the TAs) were most helpful in completing this assignment? How did you use these resources?

My friends were definitely helpful, and I also found YouTube tutorials to be valuable. Finally, I went to office hours, which were the most helpful resource for me.
