PenPal reLOADED is a new twist on an old concept. Unlike other pen pal approaches, we allow you to connect with people who have similar interests and tastes that allow you to expand your communication outside of your normal friend circle and learn more about the world around you.
At the beginning of the semester, I had hoped to have a fully accessible page. Despite some snafus, I believe the overall product is decent regards the conceptualization I had for this assignment. The goal was supposed to be a site that allowed people (pen pals), to share their interests and possiby find new things to intrigue them. I had hoped to have the profile pages that I created work, but that seems to be far out of my knowledge base. Overall, by visiting my site, you can look at interests like arts and crafts, reading, sports, etc. The target audience is for individuals 18 or above.
[
- Online interconnectivity with possible offline capabilities (you shouldnt be constrained to only socializing online) *add
- 19 MVC Pages that demonstrate GET and POST (actually its probably 18 if the artscrafts is still having problems) *storage *9 RESTful services that return JSON
- 12 repositories
- 14 entities
- 14 MVC Controllers that implement GET and POST methods *Modified READme and CHANGELOGs
The home page includes a slideshow of possible new friends and includes a link the about page, signup page, and log in option.
Aside from having user input forms like the examples provided, I included a sign up form (seen below)
User can post additional intersts to each MVC page.
The tags I used most in this assignment (besides the necessary ones (e.g. ), inluded <iframe>, , <a href="#",.
I ran into a lot of errors and mishaps while accomplishing this assignment. It seemed as though every time I attempted to implement a new attribute I ended up with the dreaded whitelabel internal error. Despite these adversities, the current issues that the site currently has includes the about.html not being able to be updated, artscrafts.html not allowing me to post, and the profile page not loading. Aside from that there are various pages that are working and my Travis CI build is still passing.
- Spring Boot - Takes an opinionated view of building production-ready Spring applications.
- Codenvy
- Bootstrap via W3C - While I was researching tags and additional components I wanted to try for this assignment, the W3C has some bootstrap capabilties that I tried to incorporate (without actually trying to use bootstrap).
- Maven - Apache Maven is a software project management and comprehension tool.
- Heroku - hosting my application
