Context:

We had 6 days to complete this project. We completed this project during the fourth week of Module 1 at the Turing School of Software and Design. It took us a total of 6 days to finish the application. The main goal of the project was to showcase our abilities in developer collaboration, as well as create well-structured HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code.

Contributors:

• Alice Abarca
• Scotty Brown
• Mary Bruff

Learning Goals:

• Write semantic HTML and efficient CSS to form a usable UI
• Write clean, DRY JavaScript and leverage functions, creating and using an effective data model
• Manipulate the page after it has loaded adding, removing, and updating elements on the DOM
• Refine your collaboration skills

Wins + Challenges:

Wins:

• Accessing DOM and Data Model.
• Utilizing event delegation and bubbling to have efficient event listeners and non repeating functions.
• Improving our git workflow so all collaborators have the same understanding of the status of our project.

Challenges:

• Updating CSS styling as we added features.
• Naming our variables and functions was a challenge at first, but we conciously decided what the function or variable was doing and kept the naming consistent accordingly.
• Accessing innerHTML elements.
