Projects
Here are some of the projects I have worked on, or are currently working on, in my spare-time. In every heading you can see which languages/techniques I have mainly used in each project. More detailed descriptions and explanations will be added in the future.
JWeather 1.0 (JAVA/WEB API)
Github link
After taking a course in web programming, I was looking for a simple, public API to experiment with to expand my knowledge working with web API's in general, and JSON data in particular. I found OpenWeather's API and decided to develop a small weather desktop app to showcase my understanding of API and JSON usage.
Initially I thought it was a good opportunity to work on my Swing skills, but soon found it to be tedious and decided to try out IntelliJ's UI Designer plugin instead. The plugin had a steep but short learning curve and it works well with getting a decent UI up quickly. Not sure if I'll use it in future projects.
I've decided to keep this repository open from start, so feel free to follow along with my progress or fork it to make your own improvements.
GameDeals (HTML/CSS/PHP/JS/WEB API)
Github link currently not available
This little project came about when I wanted to freshen up my knowledge regarding web api's. Prior to this I had taken a course in web programming, and after that experimented a bit with OpenWeather's API. I have been looking for more small projects which includes some of my interests.
I've been fairly frequent visitor/user of GameDeals.gg, but while that site does its job it does way too much for my needs which affects UX as well. I wanted to see if I could build something similar that would be easier to use.
