Assignment 2 - SF Dev Workshop
INTRODUCTION
Are you a beginner web developer looking to enhance your skills and create a challenging project that
incorporates various JavaScript functionalities? This project is designed to help you build a dynamic quiz
application using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Throughout this project, you will encounter a series of
progressively challenging tasks that will test and strengthen your web development skills.
PROJECT OBJECTIVES
● Create a responsive web page structure using HTML and CSS to display the quiz.
● Use JavaScript to manage quiz questions, options, and user interactions.
● Incorporate features like timers, score tracking, and dynamic question loading.
● Ensure a visually appealing and user-friendly interface with CSS styling.
PROJECT TASKS
7. ADD A TIMER
● Implement a countdown timer for each question.
● Automatically move to the next question when the timer expires.
This project will challenge you to apply your HTML, CSS, and JavaScript knowledge creatively. Take your
time, break down the tasks, and don't hesitate to seek help from online resources or communities when
needed. Good luck, and have fun building your dynamic quiz app!
RESPONSIVENESS
As a number of different devices keep coming up, the variety of screen types and screen
sizes keep increasing. As a developer, it is important to make sure that the website UI is just
as properly formatted, well proportional and usable, on each screen ranging from mobile
phones to tablets to laptops to monitor screens and all the different available screen sizes
within these as well.
Now, if we start testing and modifying our website for each of the commercially available
screen sizes, then that won’t be feasible at all. This is where responsiveness comes into
play. It helps in making sure that the website does not break (overflowing texts, overlapping
components, too tightly packed content or too much blank space, unnecessary scrollbars
and so on) for a large range of screen sizes.
After developing the website for your laptop screen, try to make it responsive. Learn the
different ways to make each of the different types of components in a website responsive.
Understand and choose the ways which fit your application and implement them after
completing your webpage. Learning how to use media queries is very critical to make a
website responsive.
You may want to create a number of breakpoints in your website, but it is recommended to
use breakpoints only when you want to change the structuring of the content. For other
cases, try using responsive units: rem, %, vh, vw, etc. for dimensions and position, and rem,
em for font sizes. Using grid and flexbox wherever possible and playing around with their
properties can lead to very highly responsive components.
At this point, you aren’t expected to come up with a perfectly responsive webpage in your
first try.
* While writing CSS, don’t limit yourself to just using pixels (px) as a measurement
unit. Read about other units like rem, em, %, vh, vw and understand how using
particular units in particular places can help you design better and make your
website highly responsive.
* Try to add interesting animations, creative styling and patterns wherever you can.
Also, try to choose your color combinations wisely and make sure that your website
looks neat with proper spacing, alignment and sizing of all components (we’re talking
margins and padding). Show off those creative and artistic skills!
* We understand a lot of you would be starting from scratch with no or minimal prior
knowledge. So, the assignment might look a bit overwhelming at first glance and that
is fine. Don’t think about the website as a whole, rather focus on one section at a
time. Start building and working upon the components in each section
one-by-one. Slowly, seeing the sections come to life visually should motivate you to go
further. Also, it’s okay if you’re not able to fully complete the assignment. Try to do as
much as you can in the given time.
* Lastly, web development is a vastly interesting and highly sought-after field that can
open up a plethora of opportunities for you, in web dev as well as other software
domains. With everything shifting online and digital, the demand for skilled and
proficient developers is enormous. And this is your chance to get a head-start in
this widely potential field. So, give it your best shot because who knows where it
might lead you to.
