Web Design Portfolio

  • Assigned: Before the middle of the academic semester
  • Due: At the very end of the academic semester

Building on material in the textbooks and the content covered during the entire semester semester, the web design portfolio has the following goals:

  • Help a learner to demonstrate that they can remember learned material by recalling facts, basic concepts, and answers to questions presented in the textbook.

  • Allow a learner to demonstrate an understanding of facts and ideas by translating, interpreting, and stating the main technical ideas presented in the textbook.

  • Equip a learner to solve new problems in the field of web development by applying — in a new way — your knowledge of the facts, techniques, and rules of the programming languages used for mobile-ready web design.

  • Afford a learner the opportunity to compare and contrast implementations of web site components in a programming language, enabling you to find evidence to support both the generalization and specialization of a component type.

  • Enable a learner to develop the technical skills needed to build and deploy their own mobile-ready web site, either by starting from scratch or by reusing and customizing a learner-chosen web design template.

Building on the concepts and source code in the textbook, practical assignments, and laboratory assignments, the web design portfolio invites you to complete tasks like the following:

  • Use a text editor, a terminal window, and a web browser to design, implement, and use a new component of a web site, describing its appearance and behavior when provided with different user interactions and explaining why you decided to implement it in the chosen fashion.

  • Use a text editor, a terminal window, and a web browser to write and run (manual or automated) test cases for a component of a web site, describing its appearance and behavior when provided with different inputs and explaining why you decided to implement it in the chosen fashion.

  • After using a text editor, a terminal window, and a web browser to refactor the implementation of a web site component to ensure that it strikes the right balance between understandability, generalizability, and specialization, justify and reflectively examine your decisions in technical writing.

  • Compare and contrast different web development frameworks and libraries, ultimately picking the most suitable one to fulfill stated objectives for a mobile-ready web site with a specific theme.

  • Leveraging pre-existing web development frameworks and libraries, pick the most suitable web site components and then use them to build, test, document, deploy, and maintain an integrated mobile-ready web site.

  • After using a text editor, a terminal window, and a web browser to design, implement, test, and use an integrated mobile-ready web site that features user documentation, a test suite, and a complete web-based interface, critique the overall quality of the web site based on pre-defined criteria involving aesthetics and accessibility.
