JavaScript HTML CSS jQuery Angular
jjams is a single-page music player application built with Angular that is much like Spotify. It is my first web development project where I had to fail many times in order to learn from it.
As this was my first project, there were many instances of wanting to give up, many confused moments especially with how things were working with Angular. I was somewhat familiar with JavaScript by this point, but introducing Angular as my first framework threw me off quite a bit. It was quite difficult for me to grasp the concepts of directives and modules, as well as the introduction to the MVC and MVVM framework. It felt like a lot of information to take in when just a few days ago I was finally getting the hang of loops and if statements in JavaScript.
It took a lot of research and becoming accustomed to asking for help, especially in this industry. One of the main things I needed help with was creating the directive that controls song and volume sliders, I couldn't get the jQuery to work properly, but was able to find a solution to this issue with the documentation and some trial and error.
I was able to complete my first project! Although it isn't quite up to Spotify's level with multiple artists to choose from, it's functional with a set of pre-saved music. The work process was filled with a lot of anxiety and stress, but overall I'm satisfied with the end result of this project. I was able to learn a lot, especially about DOM elements and jQuery, and hope to be able to go deeper into web development to create more and more apps.
