In chapter 1, I gained a better understanding of what a web animation is and what it does, along with how
it can affects the users on the page. On the linked page, I go over what web animation is along with an example of one.
In chapter 2, I learned more about how to create animantions and the key tags that need to be included for them
to work correctly. I show an example from the text book and show how changes in an animation can affect the time
and movement of an animation.
In chapter 3, I learned about CSS transitions and how to use them properly. I also was able to understamd the coding for it
and I was able to put all the steps together to create a transition.
In chapter 4, I was able to learn about timing functions and what is important to keep in mind when using them. I also was able
to learn all the various timing functions that can be used while working with timing functions and I was able to test and edit the code
from the book to learn how each option works.
Chapter 5Ensuring Your Animation Run Really Smoothly
In chapter 5, I was able to learn what a smooth transition is and how important it is that all animations are able to run smoothly. I also
was able to learn what the transform property does and how it works.
In chapter 6, I learned how to take some less beaten paths and expand the ways we can interact with animations and transitions by adding
in JavaScript to my coding.
In chapter 7, I learned about the similarities and the differences that exist between CSS animations and CSS transitions. I also was able to know
when or where the differences occur which helps me for the future because I now know when to use each and can put them in as needed on web pages.
In chapter 8, I learned the three different ways to animate my link which allows me to include animatins in my webpages in a subtle and / or meaningful
way. The different types can all be used on the same page or seperate, and are very helpful to bring attention to the links on pages.
In chapter 9, I learned that not all animations have to be flashy to grab the attention of the users. I also learned that sometimes the best uses for
animation are in the very subtle cases where the viewers of the website may not even notice an animation is present.
In chapter 10, I learned how to create a sliding menu to use on web pages I include and how to make it work smoothly to keep my pages looking neat and
professional.
In chapter 11, I learned how to make the content a user scrolled into view appeared and the content that a user scrolled out of view just disappeared. Which
is a scrool-activated animation and I learned some advantages and disadvantages of them.
In chapter 12, I learned how the wobble affect on the icons work when you press and hold an icon on your iOS (iPhone/iPad/iPod) device’s home screen. I learned
how the coding works and what all goes into this simple animation.
In chapter 15, I learned how to code a content slider and how to use it on my webpages. I also learned about how the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript elements can be
combined to make a content slider and see how they all work together.
