“I really enjoyed my final capstone ‘Spooktober.’ In this project I was able to design a halloween/fall movie database that a user can search through, and save to their calendar. I also got to implement Google Authentication which made signing in a breeze! I really got to learn how to use Django to handle data, and I found it is so nice to use compared to the front-end where we just had JSON data. This project was also the first time I worked with a calendar and all I can say is that it's very difficult, but I got it to work with my teammates' help!”
“I would say ‘you can do it!’ It's not the easiest topic, it's actually very complex, but the instructors and your teammates will help you understand what is happening. I truly believe that anyone who is patient with themselves can code.”
“Getting to know my instructors and classmates”
“I was working part time in the evenings and it was a stretch for me physically and emotionally. But I made it!”
