I recently built a React-Redux app for my final Flatiron School project. The project requirements specify that Redux must be used to manage state. What the requirements don’t specify is that Redux doesn’t need to be used manage ALL state.
For my culminative final school project, Flatiron’s React-Redux Portfolio Project, I chose to finally bring to life an application that for decades many have wished existed–one that combines some of my greatest interests in life: pop culture, the 90’s, vintage fashion, and digital nostalgia.
Amongst the many technical requirements for the Rails With JavaScript portfolio project, one in particular stands out near the top of the list, in bold monospaced type:
The process of creating my Rails Portfolio project was drawn out and full of mistakes. It started with an idea. I wanted to have a bowl in real life, fill it with scraps of paper, each with an activity written on it. In my downtime I could pull a random scrap from the bowl, and do the activity written on it, filling my free time with productive things. Bowls is a digitized version of that idea.
I created a Sinatra-based web application for my end-of-unit Sinatra Portfolio Project. It is a content management system (CMS) for Sickbay, an ongoing series of live alternative music events in Lafayette, Louisiana. The app is designed to allow the organizer of Sickbay to easily create, read, update, and delete shows and news items, as well as artists and venues.
