My first project, done during my coding bootcamp with
The Tech Academy (Portland, OR), was a cute little sea shanty
sing-along app. It would play a song for you and show you the
lyrics, and give some details on the historical background of
the song.
This app used a MySQL database. I created a form which
I could use to input new songs into the database which would
then display in the app.
The whole app was just a basic Django implementaton, an
example of the Model-View-Controller (MVC) design pattern
of web apps.
My internship involved work on an actual in-production website
for Theatre Vertigo, a local independent theatre club. I added
some functionality to the site, including the ability to add
events to a calendar.
This was another web app, built in ASP.NET, written in C#. It used
a code-first database; here you can see the table I built for my
calendar app implementation.
And here's a fun thing I built entirely on my own -- it's a
camera controller, which manipulates a pan-tilt-zoom camera
and shows a live feed of what it sees. It features pre-set
locations that you can click on in the panoramic image, which
it will move to on its own. This app works on desktop or on mobile,
and is currently in use with several cameras in my home town.
