My MAGICal Experience

  • A few bullet points about my experience - incorporate more into slide
    • Highlights
      • Being able to finally update/add/delete from my database
      • When everything started working cohesively
    • Lessons learned
      • I learned about the back and front side of websites and how they work together
      • I realize the importance of breaking down problems instead of doing all at once.
    • Any Challenges
      • It was challenging at first learning JavaScript because it differs from C
      • Debugging was difficult at times, especially when I did not know where the issue was coming from.
