Risk Assessment
There are plenty of problem that I worried in this final project.
Problem:
1) Music Copyright Problem
There will also include sound interaction in this website. The risk that I might face for this copyright problem. There will have problem in choosing the original soundtrack or the non-original soundtrack.
2) Negative message
The other issue that I worried is the negative message that spread on this website. This is the issues that I
cannot prevent because different user has different opinions.
3) Coding Error
There will still need some times to develop the suitable coding that need to apply in this website. Besides, there will be taking long time to do some testing to the coding and keep delay the process of this project.
Solution:
1) Citation
I have asked suggestion from the guest lecturer, Mervin. He stated that it is possible to get the music through online and is not necessary to create ourselves. The sound can be getting from Sound Cloud. Another way is the sound need to be cited.
2) Honour Message
For the issues of negative message, Mervin has suggested that I can use some honour message.
For example: “Be nice, I am preventing bad words.”
3) Prototype
To prevent the problem of coding error, I decided make some prototype based on the different coding that I decided apply in this website. I also will try to manage my time well and prevent the waste of time in this website.
How this project relate to your existing skill and knowledge?
I am familiar to some of the coding like CSS, JavaScript, PHP & HTML. Before that, I have learned to code and design a website by using Adobe Dreamweaver. To be honest, I am still a basic learner and have a little knowledge for those codes.
How this project address new skill and learning?
In this final project, I decided to try and apply new coding like web GL & Jquery. I want to challenge myself to learn a new kind of coding.
How this project relates to your degree essay?
The topic that I choose for the final degree essay is somehow related with my final project. That is about web technology. To shorten the topic, I decided to write the history of web programming and developing the language of the internet. Besides, I also keen to write on the relationship between web designer and web programmer. The reason that I choose for those topic is I am curious on the way that how the different of web programming can produce an interesting website on a global network.
