FINAL PROJECT: Abstract and Reader's Reponse > Code Annotation for a Website Collecting User Infromation

Website Functionality Annotation

Abstract: Code annotation is an integral part of documenting the functionality of programs for future use and improvement. This code annotation documents the structure and function of a website designed to collect user information and upload it to a central database server. The writer first explains the underlying structures of the program, including the programming languages and the database services used to store user data. The writer then examines individual aspects of the code, such as the purpose behind individual sections and how the code in those sections function. In these sections the integral aspects of the program are broken down into pieces and explained in prose. Each section strives to explain the code in such a way that it would allow a new programmer to understand and make updates to the code. The annotation ends by restating the purpose of the document and furthermore explains why code annotations are an integral part of continual code design. It also ends with a summary of the individual nature of code design and attempts to persuade skeptical readers to accept the validity of the annotation. Overall, the annotation seeks to explain website coding practices in a way that allows new programmers to improve the existing code.

Reader’s Profile: I imagine a reader skeptical of the decisions I made when designed my code.

Reader’s Response: Code design is not a formula that everyone needs to follow. It is an individual process that can be accomplished in many different ways. Maybe I will try to read the annotation and see what kind of code it explains. It might be possible for me to find new ways of tackling specific coding problems and it could help me understand new languages and services for website design. This would allow me to accomplish the same task while also retaining my own unique coding style.
