MI © 2012) 		BACKGROUND: I had a Colisa Lalia before. When it died, I tried replacements a few times but none could fit in the place of the first one.
So in 2002, I immortalize it and its main behaviors that I remembered, by starting off this VIRTUAL interactive aquarium.

The skills that were entailed to complete this web creation exercise are:
  • Object-Oriented Design & Programming (e.g. object = fish; methods = behaviors)
  • Planning & programming logic; Problem analysis & solving; Debugging
  • Javascript, CSS, D/HTML
  • "geometry" (positioning within aquarium)
  • graphics design & creativity
