Background

• Brockit is a project I built(10/2017) during the MVC phase of my web developer program at Bloc. A few of the many things I learned from building this site are:
• how the Model, View and Controller operate and interact within the MVC Framework
• user authentication and authorization via Ruby
• mailer functions via Ruby and Sendgrid
• C.R.U.D. operations
• Sessions

Note: Brockit is still in Development. Plans include

• Photo posting capability
• Fully responsive
• Given a nice theme
