This project was very fulfilling because I was just beginning to learn about the skills of web development and given an actual task to be able to work on. Originally I just used a theme from HTML5UP [0] and would edit the HTML by hand. Needless to say this became quite cumbersome. Later on I learned about static site generators. Through plenty of trial and error I was able to port the theme to the static site generator Jekyll [1]. It was a fun project and I learned a lot of web development skills along the way (as well as a bit of Ruby).

URL: https://mighty-retreat-64474.herokuapp.com/ Source code: $/enbw Languages: Ruby, Ruby on Rails, HTML, CSS, PostgreSQL Description: East Nashville Beer Works has a display in the taproom used to show what beers are currently available. Originally Anthony (the owner) or Sean (the brewmaster) would have to contact our web developer to make any changes to the beer list. This was problematic for obvious reason so I set out to fix this issue. At first I created a Beer List that was ephimemoral (i.e. the bartender would have to select all the beers that would avaiable at the beginning of a shift). This version of the beerlist was imple- mented in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Although this was an improvement over the original beerlist, it still could be improved upon. After reading the documentation for Ruby on Rails [2], I then implemented the beer list in the framework. It was actually a lot simpler than I had thought. RoR has excellent documen- tation. Features of the new beerlist included: - Persistant Storage - Create, Read, Update, Delete (CRUD) functionality - Admin verification ______________________________________________________________________ [003] Start Page
URL: https://startpage.chrisbohn.org Source code: $/startpage Languages: HTML, CSS, JavaScript Description: This is a (small) project I put together for personal use. The movitation was to create a simple start page that matches my color scheme on my computer. I used the project to familiarize myself with as much JavaScript as possible. All the links are shorcut are generated in the $/startpage/blob/master/script.js file. ______________________________________________________________________ [004] Personal Website URL: https://chrisbohn.org Source code: $/blog Languages: HTML, CSS, POSIX Shell Description: I have had so much fun building this website. Everything about it is incredibly simple. Each page is generated from a a plain- text document which is inserted into some html tags in a template. The template contains the inline CSS. Every page is entirely self- contained and each page load of this website is only a single network request. The build script is incredibly simple too. Any POSIX compliant machine should be able to build this website. The `make` script consist of nothing, but a few `sed` commands and a couple of variables. The script clocks in at 45 lines of SLOC.
