Reflection: My First Project

The first assignment was quite simple: build a form with text and a simple image. As long as I could clearly see where I was supposed to click, there wasn't any issue or need for problem-solving. However, sometimes the images from the presentation didn't look exactly like what I was seeing on screen, or I just couldn't keep up with where I was supposed to go. In those cases, I turned to my elbow partner and asked for help understanding the steps I had missed. Overall, this assignment was a good introduction to getting comfortable with Visual Basic.
