Blog 4

This past week, I decided  to work on the defond component of my app.Working on thr "forgot yout password" and "create an account" pages. I learned how to create a button in which can link you from one tab to another.For example, if you click on "forgot your password" on thr log in page, thr button will take you to that page.It's much more simplified than I imagined it would be! The biggest challenge I have faced is scaling the data on the website page to fit my mobile app page.Because the scale is a little off and the data is widely spread on the page, it's hard to compress it all neatly onto a mmobile page.luckily,I have learned  to work around it and have gotten use to it.Im currently working on the profile and the different components that the app will feature.By nect week, I would like to have the list of doctors tab finalized as well as the diary tab.
Until next time!

From Coding to Designing (changing the mission)



After deciding that there is a plethora of information on the internet about coding, and that I am not actually coding the app, I realized I would be better off storyboarding the app. In other words, giving you the visual representation of my app! So follow my APPventure!

Recently, a fellow classmate told me about a free site called Wix,which helps you storyboard an app for free! I'm going to use this app to create the layout for my application. The site is great because it has simplified things as much as possible. So far I  have created the log in.I know it's not much, but I really wanted to use this time to get use to the website and all its different tools. A challenge that I faced this week  was understanding what kind of process it would be to storyboard the whole thing. The word itself, is more complex than I imagined. Lets say you've created the log in page. Think you're done? Ha. You have to storyboard the page that users would go to if they forgot their password for example. There's a lot of detail that goes into it, and I definitely was not prepared for that.  For my next step, Im going to be creating the "forgot your password page" and the "create an account" page.  I've learned that I like to learn things in the simplest way possible! I could have gone with other storyboard outlines but they were very complex.

I have provided a screen shot for the log in page! All suggestions are welcome- also I still red to add 2 links (forgot password , and creating account) to the log in page so please ignore that! Lastly, Im still in the process of finding the perfect background, are the roses too girly?
Till next time!
