Testing JavaScript & Using Adobe Photoshop!

Testing the JavaScript from the week’s assignment was pretty straight forward. It was a simple calculated addition problem. The interesting part was the built in JavaScript object, document. Outside of the JavaScript is a <p id=”demo”></p> tag with the id “demo”. Once the calculation is performed, the document.getElementById(“demo”).innerHTML function finds the <p> tag since it’s id is demo, and changes the text to read “The total is: 11”. Very cool demonstration on how JavaScript can be used not only to perform a calculation, but can dynamically update what is displayed on the page without having to reload.

Adobe photoshop was a bit of a challenge at first. I have never used any graphic design applications in the past. Once I got the hang of it, I saw how powerful of a tool it can be. I still have a lot to learn, but I was able to transpose the University of South Florida over Rocky, I was able to place the text exactly where I wanted it, and I think it looks pretty cool. It was enough for me at least as a beginner, but I will continue to play around in photoshop and see what else I can do.
