I started this project by writing the HTML using the content provided. This was the easiest part, as writing HTML is something I enjoy doing and it was a fairly quick process. The CSS came next and this is where I tend to struggle a bit. I usually need a bit of a refresher on this material and then it comes a bit easier and this course was no different. The initial projects we had to do took me a lot longer than they should have but once I figured everything out it went a lot quicker. I chose to keep the basic design as I felt it looked good and was easy enough to pull off. Testing went smoothly, only minor changes were required. I chose to not include the links for tickets as I didn’t have anything to link them to. Had I incorporated them, I think it would have looked better if the location text was the link. I copied the LASTNAME_FIRSTNAME.html to an index.html in order to get it to show up on GitHub Pages, as it was showing the readme prior to me doing that. If I had more time to work on this project I would have liked to add a lot more interactivity, such as clicking on one of the books and having it expand and show more information, with the rest of the website blurred out behind it.
