Deck of Cards

Pick a Card, any card ...

I started playing a game called Cartograph (pick it up on itch.io or DriveThruRPG) and needed a way to pick a card at random. I came up with this random card picker that I could access online. Mind you, I typically have a physical deck with me, but now if I don't have it handy I can still get a random card. This could use some CSS but it's a start.

Dice Bag

A tool for any table top gamer

For this tool I dove into utilizing gitHub to find a solution that was close to what I needed. I added a three sided dice (it's a thing). I found utilizing gitHub to be a great way to get a headstart on a project. I'd like to do some styling but for now it does the job. And yes, I use this in conjuction with my Deck of Cards tool!

Tools & Samples

building as we go

I learn best by diving in and "doing" so in this section you'll find tools or samples I've built as part of my learning process. Go ahead and lower your expectations now.

Tré C

Cake Cost Calculator - Work in Progress

Someone very dear to me does a lot of work making items for other people. This specifically is for baking but the concept could be applied to any product that requires raw materials.

A Helping Hand

Ticketing System

I'm working on building a tool that will be used by my church to help track when things are needed ... like ordering more coffee, paper, or kids room snacks. Incidents would be for when things break, so the problem can be tracked, repaired, and hopefully steps can be found to keep it from happening again.

HTML, CSS, & JS Specialization

John Hopkins Univeristy - Final Project

As I've done this work for so long I wasn't surprised to not cover a lot of new ground. I will say that I did learn more about the use of terminal & gitHub as part of this course than anything else. The final focused on mobile responsiveness and the random target of the 'specials' option on the home page. One thing I didn't like about this assignment was the requirement of the use of frames. While it does seem to help in the speed of the page, the browser controls lose their functionality. I personally wouldn't take this approach as I feel it makes for a poor user experience, but it was part of the assignment.

Interactivty with JavaSCript

University of Michigan

This course covered a LOT of fundamentals, getting into the theory behind the reason we do things with JavaScript which I appreciated. I got a lot out of the deep dive into testing your site for accessiblity, and then using those tools to make your site more userfriendly for those with certain disabilities. This final project lacks my normal design approach but it's intent is to allow a user to navigate the site with or without a mouse. Try using 'Tab' to move through the pictures and see for yourself.

Foray into C#

This is a work in progress, I do have some C# knowledge already but I want to learn enough to build my own thing from the ground up. I may already know it but I'm going to go through Microsofts Training anyway. Expect things to look painful at the start. I'll put a last updated note at the top of the page so you can see how recently I've updated the page. Again, don't expect much to start with.
