My second attempt at a project for my Code Institute diploma in Web Application Development was focused on created interactive content for a website user using JavaScript. JavaScript is hard!!
MVP for this was a lot less than what I ended up doing, but I wanted to make something actually useful, not just something to pass a coursework assignment. So I designed, implemented and documented Surfergirl’s Seaglass Gift Guide, which is live on my jewellery/surfing website. SGS sells silver and seaglass jewellery handmade by me with local, natural materials from the beach (trash to treasure) and eco-silver.
I attained a Merit grade for the project and I am super, super proud of that. It was the most frustrating yet rewarding thing I have done in quite some time! Rather like writing, you can get yourself so tangled up you don’t know where to start with fixing it. Rather like a tangle of silver chains that haven’t been stored properly, or a bangle that just won’t solder closed. But I made it, and it works. (I do hope it still works by the time you find it…)
