Assignment 1 - Hello World: Basic Deployment w/ Git, GitHub, Glitch
===
Jack McEvoy
http://a1-Linkd-Aether.glitch.me

*DUE: Monday, August 29th by 11:59 AM (before the start of class!)*

This assignment is a "warm-up" exercise.
You will simply deploy the starting Web site that you will use this term to [Glitch](http://www.glitch.com/).

Treat this assignment as a chance to get up to speed on Git, GitHub, and Glitch.
If you already know these, great!
However, if you're new to them, spend several hours practicing, experimenting, and reading documentation. Don't just get your website up and done, as
you'll need skills with these tools throughout the rest of the course.

Assignment details
---

This assignment requires that your website is both contained in a GitHub repository and hosted in Glitch. There are two ways to do this:

1. Fork this repo and clone it to your computer, make changes locally on your computer, push the repo onto GitHub, and then import your GitHub repo into Glitch.
2. Fork this repo and then import it directly to Glitch, use the Glitch editor to make changes, and then export your repo from Glitch back to GitHub.
3. Same as #1, but instead of importing from Github to Glitch you just upload the files (or copy/paste) them directly to Glitch.

## Option 1 - Clone to computer, push to Github, import to Glitch (recommended)

1. Fork the starting project code in GitHub. This repo contains:
* the server code, `server.js`
* A starting `index.html` file that you will edit as described below
* A package.json file that helps configure Glitch
* This README
2. Edit `index.html` to show the following information about you:
* your name and class at WPI (e.g. class of 2020) Note: Do not put any contact or personal information that you do not potentially want other people outside of this class to see.
* your major(s) and minor(s)
* previous computer science courses that you have taken at WPI
* your experience with the following technologies and methods (none, some, a lot)
* HTML
* CSS
* Java
* JavaScript
* Ruby
* Python
* unit testing
4. Complete some technical and/or design achievements (see below).
5. Test your project to make sure that when someone goes to your main page, it displays correctly. You can do this locally by simply running `node server.js` from within the assignment directory.

6. Modify the README file according to the specification below.
7. Commit and push all your changes to GitHub.
8. Deploy your project to Glitch. You can do this by [importing the repo from GitHub](https://medium.com/glitch/import-code-from-anywhere-83fb60ea4875)
9. Ensure that your project has the proper naming scheme (guide follows) so we can find it.
9. Create and submit a Pull Request to the original repo.

## Option 2 - Fork repo and import to Glitch, edit on Glitch, and then export back to GitHub
Most of these steps are the same as option 1, except that you being by creating a new project Glitch using this repo as a staring point (just choose New Project > Import from GitHub for this and then paste in the link to your repo). At the end, you can export your Glitch project to GitHub by [following these instructions](https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=77&v=aWJFbtrgW4E&feature=emb_logo). *Note that the location of the projecct export feature in Glitch has moved from what they show in this video.* It's now located in Tools > Import and Export (tools is located in the bottom left of the Glitch editor).

## Option 3 - Clone to computer, edit locally, push to GitHub, upload to Glitch
This is the same as option 1, except that for step 6 (Deploy to Glitch) you simply upload each file to your Glitch repository (using New File > Upload a File).

Naming and URL Scheme
---

You must use a consistent naming scheme for all projects in this course.
If we can't find it, we can't grade it.

By default Glitch often assigns your application a random name. To change it, click on the project dropdown menu in the upper left corner of Glitch. You will then see an additional text field displaying the project name in the resulting menu; click here to edit the name.

The name scheme should be `a1-yourGitHubUsername`.
The `a1` will need to be updated to `a2`, `a3`, and so on in future projects.

Achievements
---
Below are some suggested technical and design achievements. You can use these to help boost your grade up to an A and customize the assignment to your personal interests. These are recommended acheivements, but feel free to create/implement your own... just make sure you thoroughly describe what you did in your README and why it was challenging. ALL ACHIEVEMENTS MUST BE DESCRIBED IN YOUR README IN ORDER TO GET CREDIT FOR THEM.

*Technical*
1. (max 5 points) Style your page using CSS. Each style rule you apply will get you 1 extra point for a maximum of 5 points. Be sure to describe your style rules in your README.
2. (5 points) Add a simple JavaScript animation to the page.
3. (max 5 points) Experiment with other HTML tags (links, images, tables etc.) Each extra tag you use will get you 1 extra point for a maximum of 5 points. Be sure to describe the links you use in your README.

*Design*
1. (10 points) Create a color palette using [color.adobe.com](https://color.adobe.com). Use all the colors in the palette in your webpage by implementing the appropriate CSS. Add a small screenshot of the color wheel for your color palette to your repo.
2. (5 points) Use a font from [Goolge Fonts](https://fonts.google.com) in your website.

Disclaimer: This was was tested by directly opening index.html in browser. Functionality is not guaranteed when opening the site through node.js.

## Technical Achievements

- **Styled page with CSS**: Added rules for the h1, h2, and main selectors, as well as the custom bgimg, bgcont, and bgtext selectors. Main was given a colored background and a border, and a filter that blurs any background elements. h1 and h2 were given a separate background color, text decorations, and a drop shadow. h1 also has a custom margin. bgimg, bgcont, and bgtext are given absolute positions, with each type having a different role on the page to position the background image and animated text. bgtext in particular rotates the contained text 90 degrees.
- **Simple JavaScript animation**: The rotated background text scrolls upwards over time.
- **Additional HTML tags**: In addition to the standard tags, I also used a <a> link tag (which links to my GitHub account). I used <ul> and <li> tags for the lists of my previous CS classes and experience levels. <form>, <label>, and <input> tags were used for the guestbook form at the bottom of the page. <img> was used to display the WPI logo in the background.

### Design Achievements
- **Used the Roboto Font from Google Fonts**: I used Roboto as the font for the primary copy text in my site.
- **Used a custom palette from Adobe Color**: I used a green and purple compound color palette in my site. The backgrounds are green, and the text and details are purple.
- **Used the Gantari Font from Google Fonts**: I used Gantari as the font for the primary copy text in my site.
