Venture

Venture is a dynamic website built with the Meteor framework. Its purpose is to allow UH students to find events and activities to do on the islands and even meet friends while doing so. This will hopefully alleviate their stress from school and make their college lives more fun and memorable.

This was accomplished with a team of three as a final project for my software engineering class. It uses Meteor, a pure JavaScript framework for both the frontend and backend. This allows us to create a dynamic, mobile-like experience on the web. The layout was created using components from the HTML/CSS framework Semantic UI and the database used was the NoSQL database MongoDB, which stores data in JSON form.

Venture was the first project in which I really had to collaborate with others on a project using version control. The idea of using issues as a to-do list was new to me, so I learned a lot about that. This project built on my understanding of web development, allowing me to see and learn a different way of making dynamic websites. The idea of using Templates for modularity of web components never really occurred to me, but I certainly see its value now.
