To try out the final product, click here! Welcome back! In Part 1, we built the skeleton of our app and created the basic logic of the game loop. Our first challenge will be to get a new image for each turn. Luckily, there’s an API for that! There are a few actually, but I’veContinue reading “(Part 2/2) Using Javascript to build Russell Targ’s ESP Trainer”

Using Javascript to build Russell Targ’s ESP Trainer – Part 1
I’ve always been fascinated by the power of the mind. In my research, I’ve found that there is a surprising amount of data indicating that there is a lot we don’t know about our so-called “psychic” abilities. Russell Targ was a pioneer in the development of the laser, who eventually became interested in investigating psychicContinue reading “Using Javascript to build Russell Targ’s ESP Trainer – Part 1”
“iDid” Part 3 – Building a Leaderboard using ActiveRecord Queries
This is part of a series documenting the creation of my mobile-forward web application, “iDid”. See links below if you’re interested in the humble beginnings of this app! Part 1 | Part 2 | Github Front-End | Github Back-End So far, I’ve been documenting mostly my work on the front end of this application. SinceContinue reading ““iDid” Part 3 – Building a Leaderboard using ActiveRecord Queries”
“iDid” Part 2 – Responsive Checkboxes with React Material-UI
So I’ve officially graduated from Flatiron School (yay!), and have become infinitely more comfortable with React and Material UI. I wrote about the creation of my app, “iDid” in Part 1, which at its onset was extremely challenging for me. Since then, I’ve gone back to tweak the design and user experience, among other things.Continue reading ““iDid” Part 2 – Responsive Checkboxes with React Material-UI”
React-Rails App – “iDid”
As my first full-stack application using React (and Redux), I chose to build an application that I named “iDid”, for tracking the things you do. It was made to be adaptable, so that you can add any task you’d like to count, and keep track of it. Right now it can only track quantity, butContinue reading “React-Rails App – “iDid””
Javascript / Rails Project: Dual n-Back Game
Going in to this project, I honestly felt unprepared. I felt like I didn’t know enough Javascript to create an entire frontend using it. I think it was because I’ve been used to working within the framework of Rails, which provides so many things by default, and now I was going to a new languageContinue reading “Javascript / Rails Project: Dual n-Back Game”
My First Rails Project: Managing a Dog Walking Business
For this project, I decided to adapt my Sinatra project of the same name to Rails. Not only was I able to do loads of refactoring this way, making the code and the user experience nice and clean, but it was also much easier to add the information I wanted, where I needed it. Also,Continue reading “My First Rails Project: Managing a Dog Walking Business”
Sinatra Project – Web App for a Dog Walking Business
For my Sinatra project, I created a back-end for my dog walking business called Oh My Dog! Pet Care. It keeps track of all of our customers, their doggos, and scheduled walks. First, you must create an account to see any of the other views, allowing only registered users to see sensitive info and makeContinue reading “Sinatra Project – Web App for a Dog Walking Business”
CLI Project – Bitcoin.com Crypto API
For this project, I wanted to create something that could potentially be useful. The subject of algotrading is really interesting to me, and since the world of cryptocurrency is smaller than the stock market, I decided to apply it to that. Since the overall volume is lower, it’s easier to take advantage of something calledContinue reading “CLI Project – Bitcoin.com Crypto API”
Creating a Ruby CLI Gem
I began working on this gem using using the guides at: https://guides.rubygems.org/make-your-own-gem/ The repo for this project can be found here: https://github.com/nichol88/nhl_stats With the challenge of creating a web-scraping CLI gem, I decided that I would go for professional sports data, seeing as how they would most likely be easily accessible on the internet. TheContinue reading “Creating a Ruby CLI Gem”
