Here are some of my favorite projects we got to work on during my web development program at NWTC. From learning the basics to eventually getting a little more advanced. These projects were part of the reason I really wanted to pursue a career with my web skills!

One of my eariler classes when starting my web development program being Web Front End Design, we mainly learned the basics of html and css. Here we worked on layouts, color schemes, creating cards, formatting images for better website performance, etc. My theme for this project was to display the most famous forest on planet earth. I am really into nature so I like to apply my interest when working on these projects to make it more engaging. Check out Forest of the World Project

This has to be one of my favorite projects that we worked on. For our Web Front End Design 2 final project, we made a mock website for the digital arts showcase that is hosted every year at Northeast Wisconsin Technical College, for all students to showcase their knowleadge and skills based on their program. Including design and graphics, digital media, photography, and web development! Take a look at the Digtial Arts Showcase project.

With my javascript course, we dove into more dynamic techniques to include our websites with more functionality and interactivity. For our final project we worked on using validation when users enter in a form to display errors if their input is not correct. Then we worked with JSON (Javascript Object Notation) to implement an API (Application Programming Interface). Then lastly, we were to create and load in a google map through javascript. Check out the Javascript Final Project.

With PHP server-side-scripting, we didn't have a final project but one large project to build during our 8 week course. What I like about php is how it reduces its redundancy of web pages but using includes so that you don't have to manually change a certain part on each individual page. You can add the include on that certain page and if you need to edit that part, you will edit within the include file so that it changes on each individual web page. With this project we created a form to send mail to a user that would subscribe to the newsletter, user signup and login to enter in to protected data, thumbnail image uploads by the user, and my favorite part which was created the blog page.
