Week 1:

I Need Help With:

• Growing my expertise with CSS and HTML
• Practicing more agile development

What went well?

Having a smooth transition into Agile Development, although I still need to practice more to better deploy software creation.

What went less well?

Getting along with CSS and HTML since I'm still not so strong with my skills and knowledge on the ground.

Lessons Learned

I learned that the 'agile development' methodology can be a great asset into a successful software creation and implementation while working alone or collaborating with others.

Week 2:

I Need Help With:

• Improving my CSS & HTML skills.
• Mastering Agile Development Mindset.

What went well?

Working together with the team building together the two websites we were asked for.

What went less well?

Building my part of the website using CSS & HTML since it's still a work in progress.

Lessons Learned

I learned that working together can be very beneficial when coding because it allows you to brainstorm whenever lacking of ideas on how to put together the website itself.
