Jessie's Flatiron Journey


My Journey

JS Breathing Bubble Animation

In my guided meditation app, Pause, I incorporated an animated breathing cirlce in my project. I first used CSS to create the animation, by grabbing some code online, If was fairly simple to get the bubble to expand and shrink on an interval, but I needed the animation to start, pause and end with the event listeners that I already created. I decided that I wanted to use pure Javascript to build this animation.


Rails, One Form Three Views

My roommate recently bought a new house. As someone who has been passionate about interior design since I was a teenager, I was immediately inspired by the large empty rooms and blank walls. As I decided how I wanted my bedroom in the house to look, and helped my roommate design multiple rooms in the house, I ended up with dozens of tabs open on my phone and laptop while research and shopping. I decided to create DSGNR, to have a place to keep track of stores, pieces and inspiration photos that I find online.


Relationship Problems - Sinatra Project

First, I must congratulate myself because this project went much more smoothly than the first project. I went into the project with a better understanding of the material than I did for the CLI project and I took a lot more time with planning before I started coding. My project is title FlatFile. A flatfile is a cabinet with shallow drawers that you use to store art. A user would use my application to remember and keep track of artists and artworks they find interesting. To build this app I started with Users, Artists, Artworks and UserArtists tables and models. I also had Users, Artists, and Artworks controllers and views folders associated with each of those.


Managing Plants CLI

For my Command Line Interface Project (CLI), we were allowed to build anything, as long as we utilized an API or scraped data from a website. Although consuming an API is said to be easier, I decided to take on the challenge and scrape data from a website.
