CS 234 Website Project

Link To Github Page

This is a project I completed for my CS 234 class (Database & Web Development) and is also the first project I made. Before this project, I still loved coding and comp sci, but the idea of doing more work outside of class kind of bored me. Even though I had to do this for a class, it was still a lot of fun working and learning more about web development and databases. This project was built using PHP, CSS, HTML, and SQL. PHP, HTML, and SQL were fun to learn about but doing CSS from scratch was the hardest part. Constantly refreshing the site hoping my div would be in right place, only to see nothing changed definitetly soured my opinion of CSS and Web Development overall. Though in retrospect this was a good thing because I didn't really know what I wanted to do with computer science yet. Me and my friends were focused on software development, I didn't really see web development and automation engineering as options.

Working with new languages is always fun but the database aspect of the project was surprisingly my favorite part. Connecting the site to the database for the login functionality and working with the data was cool. One of my favorite parts of working with computer science is learning how everyday things we use like websites work. Though this definitetly made me underestimate SQL, once I started using it in my first internship and saw what a nicely constructed query looked like I was a bit blown away.
