Building a Javascript Clock – Part 2

1. Building a Javascript Clock – Part 2 Web Design Sec 6-5 Part or all of this lesson was adapted from the University of Washington’s “Web Design & Development I” Course materials

2. Design a better clock… • Consider the clock that you created in the previous lesson. How could it be improved? What features would make this clock better. Don't worry about how to make the improvements. Just imagine all possibilities for now.

3. Design a better clock… • In the world of software development and web design, this process is known as the design phase. Since you already have a product (your clock), you are essentially brainstorming ideas on how this product can be improved (your next generation product, Clock 2.0). Every idea is a good idea during this phase. Then, once you have a long list of desired features, you begin the process of prioritizing that list and identifying which features are currently possible, given your skill set, available resources, and timeline.
