Learning Chrome Extension Development and JavaScript
I am the type of individual who always is curios how technologies work. It is what drives me always to keep learning in this fast pace technology field. An example was when I was curious how Chrome Extension worked. All I knew was that Google had a set of JavaScript API's that interacted with Chrome. During the Summer, I set out to teach myself with the power of the internet. I started to read examples and look at the documentation. My first road block was when I realized that these Chrome Extension were written in JavaScript. I did not know JavaScript but thanks to my education in computer science it allowed be to establish a base. This allowed me to leverage any language and use it.
Once I got the basics, I started to develop an app called Reconsider. This extension would search for Amazon prices and convert them to workday prices. An example would be if an item costed $100.00 then instead of displaying the price it would display 4.5 days of work to pay this item. This would allow the shopper to see how much hard work it would take to purchase that item that they might not need.
