Resume

The purpose of the original project was to develop a resume template using jQuery and AJAX. See the original layout here.

After I completed the Neighborhood Map project, I revised my resume using Knockout.js and Bootstrap 4.0. The final project is posted here, and the files can be downloaded here: https://github.com/lisacowan27/resume-knockout.

Arcade Game

The purpose of this project was to create a simplified version of the game "Frogger" using JavaScript. In addition to the rubric, I adapted the HTML layout and styles to Bootstap, created additional "capture-the-gem-functionality", and added scoring to the HTML5 canvas element.

Neighborhood Map

The instructions for this project were to pick a “neighborhood” and show at least 5 places from it on the map. The left-hand column is filtered using Knockout.js, and the map is generated through the GoogleMaps API. I incorporated information about the specific locations using the Wikimedia API. Rather than using Google StreetView images, I elected to use my own photography because the available images didn't convey the beauty of the Upper Peninsula. This choice added certain complexities to the project, but I’m very happy with the results.
