Activities: Working on the Apex mobile site

Technical Information: Using Dreamweaver and other website design tools

Reflection: I feel very accomplished by all the work that I've done on the mobile site. There's a lot that I've had to learn to be able to do what I did. My dad was a tremendous help in showing me which tools were better than others and showing me a few tricks he had learned from his research. Overall, I felt very positively about the internship experience. I think that it would be a good idea for even non-AOIT students the try and get an internship, just so they have real-world work experience. I feel like this is an invaluable asset that I will be able to tap into at multiple times in my life.

Activities: Working on Apex mobile website

Technical Information: Using Dreamweaver and other website design tools

Reflection: It's really coming together nicely now. I've been looking at other mobile sites, especially the Google mobile site. Most of them have just a list of buttons and very simple redirections. I've incorporated that into the Apex mobile site along with some neat hyperlinks that do things like automatically calling a phone number when the hyperlink is activated. Most of this internship makes me proud. Routine things not as much, but they still give a little of pride because when I first started I had very little knowledge of the Dreamweaver software and only a basic knowledge of HTML.

Entry #8

Activities: Working on mobile version of Apex website

Technical Information: Using Dreamweaver

Reflection: I've been doing a lot of work on the mobile site. Not necessarily a finished product but definitely something someone else could easily mold into a finished product. I've got the basic layout figured out and I've figured out some cool things that phones do automatically when they follow a link from a web browser. The only things that changed about my duties is that now I'm working on my independent project; which is harder, but also more fun. I'm really excited to see how it works when they get the mobile site up. I'll be able to see what I figured out and how close to the raw version it is.
