Bi-Weekly Design 2/23

Brainstorming and Tutorials 

I think the hardest part of designing and using any type of coding language is knowing what you want to create and understanding how to create it. What I want to create is basically a website catered to the creation of stories, the process of creating that story, and also the other projects that go along with it. So what you will see when you click on the link is a page dedicated to a writer with another connecting link that connects to a few short story pieces that they’ve created, and also a separate page for miscellaneous add-ons that the writer wants to add.  So it would have elements of Archive of Our Own, Tumblr, and also 8tracks. But this is only one idea I have, and I’m still trying to flesh out all the other kinks in the idea.

 

So at the present moment, I’m trying to learn how to code using Python. With Python I am able to create interactive commands that allow me to create interactive activities and stories for an audience to enjoy. With Python the hardest part is learning how to use and create commands. The second hardest part is learning all the functions.  What I am also trying to learn is how to use HTML as a way of designing a website that can handle all the components that I want to create.  Also I’m trying to learn how to use board DOHTML as a way of creating templates for authors and creators to use.
