My 20% Time Speech

                My name is Justin Sprouse, and for my 20% time project, I learned how to code. Coding is where you write scripts for a computer. Code has many uses, such as making websites, games, and more. My goal of the 20% time project was to learn code and learn about what motivates me, and I accomplished this goal.

                During this project, I learned the 3 types of code required to become a computer programmer and how to make a website as you will see in a few minutes. I learned HTML, JavaScript, and CSS code, the three codes required to be a programmer. I also learned a code called Batch which is used for making viruses, games, and has many other uses. HTML is sort of the back bone of the website; it is the basic parts of the website. CSS is like the muscles and the other parts of the body, necessary to complete the body. JavaScript, the final code I learned, is used as the makeup of the website. It isn’t necessary, but it makes the site look better.

                Although I accomplished the goal I had, there are still many things I would like to learn about code and myself. I still have yet to learn any other kinds of code other than JavaScript, HTML, Batch and CSS. I learned code because learning code can help me get a job in the future.

                My biggest accomplishment while learning code was making batch files. Making batch files helped me demonstrate my favorite kind of code I learned; Batch. I consider this to be an accomplishment because it helped me understand how I can use code in the real world.

                I think that the 20% time project helped me learned more about myself and learn more about something I can use in the real world; code. I learned what motivates me; hard work for the future. I work hard so I can have something to look forward to. I learned code now so I can know it whenever I try for a job in that field.
