Web App Design Update

Objective:

 Create an interactive audio-visual web application.

 Reference: http://unseen-music.com/yume/

 Update:

 I have looked through the three.js library and have decided on a visual that I want to incorporate into my web application - Interactive Cubes.
I have finished the CodeAcademy tutorial on HTML and CSS (refreshed myself) and have begun to start working on the Javascript tutorial.

 I also started tweaking with Tone.js, and more specifically have been looking at the animation sync section to learn more about synchronizing visuals to rendered visuals.

I found code for an audio spectrum visualizer built with HTML5 Audio API, that I might decide to use.  It allows you to upload a song file, and create visualizations in waveforms.  However, there isn't an interactive component, so if I were to use it, I need to find a way to incorporate it.

It adds so much to the interactivity. By simply adding small animations the page suddenly feels alive. It can also make the user experience better overall.      An example is the use of animated loading screens or progress indicators. Using a creative progress indicator reduces the user perception of time. Animations can also make the sit or app seem better than it really is.  Another really useful time to use animations is when drawing the users attention. A good example of this is in notifications.  By animating the notification you can draw the users attention more easily. Overall animations should be used in most websites and can add a lot of value to the...

A Case Study (?) of a JavaScript Problem

By -
This week at work, I ran into a very basic problem that needed to be solved with JavaScript. It involved lots of trial and error, but after 3 hours or so, I finally solved it. I wrote an article on my personal blog detailing my thought processes and research trail, in case anyone is interested:  http://emilyserven.net/2016/09/30/js-problem.html (I also included a bunch of footnotes, so if any jargon is confusing, it should hopefully be explained in those.)
