Boot Camp Projects

Project 1

First HTML Project

This project was to test being able to code a website using provided images. As this was the first project of the class, it is very basic, and doesn't have a many features as future projects.

Project 2

Guessing Game Project

This project was started after introducing Javascript. The objective was to make a guessing game, like hangman. The word is randomly chosen from an array, and input is captured with key presses.

Project 3

jQuery Gem Clicker

A rather unfair game that makes no sense in the long run. This project incorperates jQuery for grabbing click events and modifying text on the page.

Project 4

Giphy API Project

My first dabble into APIS and AJAX, this project displays GIFs using the GIPHY API with AJAX calls.

Project 5

Train Timetable

Using Firebase for a remote database, and moment for time calculations, this site can be accessed anywhere, and will show the same anywhere.

Being Updated
Project 6

Friend Finder

The first time using Heroku to push a site, and using Express for API routing. A lot of new stuff in this assignment.

Group Project 2

TOYoda

The first presentable group project I did, this one uses everything we learned to make a used toy selling site, much like "Offer Up". I did work with the front-end for this, and helping around with some back-end development. New things used were Handlebars, and using a Google login.

Project 7

Mongo Web Scraper

Using MongoDB and Cherio, this is just a web scraper. Nothing fancy going on, but it was my first time using MongoDB as a remote databse. While it's not my best work, it shows that I can put together a web app using MongoDB.

Project 8

React Memory Game

This is the first time I used React. While not very content heavy, it is using a brand new technology to me, and will get better as I continue to use React, and become more aquainted with it.
