A Developer's Grimoire

At least tried to add some styling to my React portfolio project.


Rails and Javascript -- Demons and Letting Go

For my rails and Javascript project I was stuck between two former projects that I thought I could improve. After a bit of peer pressure from my friends, and the Valentine’s Day spirit – perhaps re-writing my demon summoning app as a game to woo a demon to you would be a great idea. I was also struck with how quickly my friends gave me my needed assets – the game was written and the UI was presented to me to implement and well, that’s how I was stuck making it.


The Rails Project Challenge

I took a rather esoteric and strange route for this project. I thought it would be fun to make a demon summoning app. While the coding of it was straightforward, figuring out the ActiveRecord associations was surprisingly difficult, and is what caused the most problems.


Augmented Reality Project

While I personally don’t gravitate towards using augmented reality in day-to-day life (let’s be real, I pretty much immediately turned off AR in Pokemon Go) – I’ve worked on one really cool project that I want to showcase that combines AR with 3D mapping. I focused on importing the 3D scan and used xcode and Apple’s ARKit to make it seem like you’re walking through the first Boeing 737.


Sinatra CMS Project

To continue with my video game theme that I had from my CLI project, I decided for my Sinatra project to create a video game CMS. It would be a simple system, with users who would have many video games. Users didn’t need much more than an email, username and password. The username and password would be used for logging in. With the way I work, it was important for me to start with the migrations.
