Welcome to the CSC325 Personal Portfolio Project repository! This repository is dedicated to building a professional online portfolio for undergraduate computer science students. The project focuses on creating a well-structured and visually appealing personal website that showcases skills, projects, and experiences to enhance career opportunities. It serves as a platform for students to develop their web development skills while establishing an online presence.
This repository provides:
- A central location for project files – All source code, documentation, and assets for the portfolio website are stored here for easy access and collaboration.
- Version control and development workflow – Using Git and GitHub ensures efficient tracking of changes, collaboration, and integration of features.
- Task and progress management – The repository facilitates project organization, milestone tracking, and task assignments.
- Learning resource – Students can use this repository as an example of web development best practices and software engineering methodologies.
The repository is organized as follows:
/src– Contains all source code for the website, including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and backend components (if applicable)./docs– Includes documentation such as setup guides, technical specifications, and project design rationale./assets– Stores images, icons, and other media files used within the portfolio./tests– Includes test scripts and validation tools to ensure functionality and performance.README.md– This file, providing an overview of the project and repository.LICENSE– Licensing information for the project.
The portfolio website will include the following sections:
- Homepage – An introduction to the student’s background, interests, and career goals.
- About Me – A detailed biography, educational background, and a downloadable resume.
- Projects – A showcase of completed projects, including descriptions, technologies used, and links to source code or live demos.
- Skills – A list of technical proficiencies, programming languages, frameworks, and tools.
