Well…the month has finally come. I am down to my last project at Flatiron. I have decided to build an application that would tie in my current career industry, legal, to software engineer - a case and document management system. I used rails for my backend and react/redux for the frontend. Keep in mind that I plan to add to this app.
For my fourth project, I decided to build an exercise tracker application, where users can track/log their exercises. The frontend is built with HTML, CSS and Vanilla JS, all the while communicating with my backend API that I built with Ruby and Rails.
Ruby on Rails is surely a magical thing. So many behind the scene actions that you just got to trust what is happning, and understand how it affects your code. I decided to build my app for dogs, because I love dogs and I have a dog. The app is called Sniff n Play, because the idea was it being a social/dating app for dogs.
For our second project at Flatiron, we were tested on our knowledge about Sinatra, MVC, Sessions, and ActiveRecord. It was an exciting project to do because we finally got to build our first simple web application.
For our first project at FlatIron, we had to design a CLI application using either an API or scrapping. I decided to use API for retrieving data for 50 breweries in San Diego. In my application, I give the user a choice to either search by name or brewery type, and based on their input, a list will generate. If they wish to learn more about a particular brewery, they can. The data that they will find includes the id number, name, brewery type, street address, phone number, and website.
