Discussion topics and projects

Here is the discussion forum for this part of the course. Please post your comments/observations/questions and share your creations.

Here are some suggestions:

SUGGESTED TOPICS

  • If you’ve followed the course, then you will have visited the webcomponents.org Web site and browsed some Web components galleries. Did you find any super cool components? Did you try them? Please share your findings in the forum!
  • Did you look at the Polymer and X-tags projects? Do you understand their philosophy? Did you try some tutorials? Did you notice that they propose a higher level approach to the creation of Web components? Do you like that or do you prefer making them using the low level techniques explained in the course?
  • What Web component would you like to use and could not find out of the box?

OPTIONAL PROJECTS

  • Try-out these WebAudio control widgets that look incredibly good (I used them with my Guitar Amp Simulator). And use them in your audio player or other applications that would look cool with rotating knobs, switches, LEDs, etc.
  • Try making your own Web component! For example: an enhanced audio player that uses Web Audio. 
  • How about building a <gamepad-tester> component which will display progress bars and the states of the different buttons/joysticks – reuse the example from the course! I couldn’t find any Web component like this! Another challenge 😉
  • Try writing a small tutorial about reusing and customizing a super cool Web component you have found!
