WDI Darth Vader

Portfolio Requirements

It is the final 3 weeks of the 'in-class' portion of WDI, i.e. the independence section! During this section, you are to deliver a portfolio site complete with your pair programming project and the below listed applications. Each should be their own github repository.

Classical MVC (Pair Programming)

  • Sinatra or Rails
  • Authentication + Single Model C.R.U.D.
  • Use the Classic MVC pattern
  • One-To-Many (Users have many x)
  • ActiveRecord
  • Examples:
    • ToDo App
    • Note App
    • Twitter Like App

Sinatra or Express SPA

  • A "Sign-Up" or "Contact Form" style application
  • Must be responsive and tested on mobile phone(s)
  • As a user, I can enter in my name, email, etc. so I can 'sign-up' to be contacted later
  • Or I can send someone a message somehow.
  • Utilize Mandrill or similar service to send emails to your clients

API

  • Use any framework/language of your choice to build an API!
  • Sinatra, Express, Rails allowed. .NET, Django, others will be considered.
  • We're going to build a RESTful API for a single model!
  • You just need to serve data. No rendering anything.
  • Don't give stangers create/update/delete access.
  • Test with CocoaRest / Postman

Portfolio Website

  • Host your portfolio at http://your-username.github.io or your own custom domain.
  • We will build in class but you must polish it and push to your own Github.
  • Jekyll/Github Pages/Gitbooks are great starting places.
