As part of a project in University, three other students and myself worked together to build an online magazine prototype for a high school called School Notes. This was a full stack project using a noSQL database, Angular, Node, and jQuery. I wrote some games in JavaScript such as a word finder game and a word scramble game. I had also created a reactive image carousel to showcase artwork at the top of the page. The whole project was built with the agile development style and that’s where I learned about user stories, weekly stand up meetings, burndown charts, and all that good stuff. I did some HTML and CSS stuff for this project, but I spent most of my time working on JavaScript games and working with backend database stuff.
The word finder was pretty cleaver in that the user could use a form on the website to type in a list of words and the JavaScript would auto-generate the game based on the words. Then the result was stored in the noSQL database to be served up on the website. In the class we live demoed it on a Heroku server but at the time of writing this portfolio and gathering images, the website is no longer up, but I do have a few screenshots from the live demo.
