I was assigned the task of designing
a website application which is something I had never done before. I had to
create a functional website by Friday to show my manager so that I could move
on to the next phase of my project. At first designing a website from scratch
seemed like a daunting task especially since I had no idea where to start. I
started doing a bit of research on web development and saw a few tutorials on YouTube.
I quickly learned that I needed to be proficient in two programming languages
namely HTML and C# both of which I had no prior knowledge of. So I started off
by teaching myself these two languages and started writing some simple programs
in these languages just so that I get comfortable with them. I then was able to
begin designing the website. At first I encountered quite a few problems and my
program crashed many times along the way, which left me feeling quite
frustrated and unsure of whether I would be able to meet my deadline. My
manager reassured me by providing a few tips and letting me know that it was
more important I learn than meet the deadline, which took some pressure off.
However, I stayed up late on Thursday night and managed to complete the
finished website which took a username and password and opened up to three
different pages. After completing this task I felt like it was the most I had
learned in a week ever. I went from not knowing the programming languages
required to make a website to making my first functional website.
Congratulations on making a website! That must have been a stressful week but it sounds like you really pulled through, good job!!
