Star Ratings with Javascript and Font Awesome

Minus a sizable hitch, this was pretty fun.

My Github Code => HERE

NOTES:

I am not sure if the Event Listener for getRatings loads in time so the difference in ratings via the Font Awesome stars doesn't work. See the bottom of the getRatings function; the .style doesn't update the stars after changing a rating when I put it back in the code proper.

If you run the code and check the console, the artist names did initially appear, in 5 separate lists with the rating for the current item in the list.

My guess is that because most of the artists are more than one word (You can see in the video that he uses single-word brands; Sony, Panasonic, Phillips, ect.), it threw it off a bit.

Further along in the project, it does straighten out to be similar to the given example, though you can see that Hippolita is first, mainly because of that single-word-ness.

Try putting in a number larger than 5 in the box :)

Connecting IoT Devices to a Registration Server (Packet Tracer, Cisco)

In Packet Tracer, a demo software made by Cisco Systems. It certainly has changed a lot since 2016. It's almost an Olympic feat to even get started with it now, but it does look snazzy. This is for the new CCNA, that integrates, among other things, IoT and Automation, which I've worked on here before. Instructions here . I don't know if this is an aspect of "Let's make sure people are paying attention and not simply following blindly", or an oversight - The instructions indicate a Meraki Server, when a regular one is the working option here. I have to enable the IoT service on this server. Also, we assign the server an IPv4 address from a DHCP pool instead of giving it a static one. For something that handles our IoT business, perhaps that's safer; Getting a new IPv4 address every week or so is a minimal step against an intruder, but it is a step. There are no devices associated with this new server; In an earlier lab (not shown), I attached them to 'H

Building, Breaking, and Building A CRM with Retool

I like no- or low-code solutions to things. I've often wanted to simply push a button or move some GUI around and have the code implement itself. I've thought about building something that's like a customer relationship management (CRM) system for keeping up with my network better than my little spreadsheet where I click links and then go like something. The general idea in this CRM Development is: To have a GUI to add people to a NRM (Network Relationship Management). Attach it to a database (MySQL is what I went with eventually using Amazon Relational Database service, but you can use PostGRES, and probably others). Make sure components are connected to each other in the retool interface. This video is a good start. Watching the tutorial video, heard some SQL commands and went 'Oh no 😳" before going "Wait I know basic SQL", which is good, because you'll see. When you get set up, there's a plethora of resources you can use -- Incl
