Audio Visual Slider
An application I created at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic as part of the course content of a Dynamic Web 1 (JavaScript) course I was (and still am) teaching. We had just migrated to online learning, and I wanted to create an application that visualized what we were all feeling. I selected images that expressed those feelings, and synched the animations with the beat of music I chose. It was a rough time, but my students for that class were really amazing. I was truly inspired by them.

Canvas 2D Breakout Game
I always had wanted to be able to create games using the HTML5 Canvas 2D API, so I built (and refactored) a Canvas 2D Breakout Game inspired by one I came across on MDN.
#babel, #canvas 2D, #eslint, #innerhtml property, #keydown event, #keyup event, #modern javascript, #mousemove event, #node sass, #project, #webpack
Dragging Bubbles App
I have always wanted to closely tie audio and audio volume controls with visual and creating multiple audio sources, which I tie to one input of type range. So what better way than with the HTML5 Web Audio and HTML5 Canvas 2D APIs!

Making Music in the Browser

Monsters API JS App
This little search application utilizes two APIs. One is for the text called {JSON} Placeholder, and the other API is for the images called Robohash. The app also utilizes the fetch API method, the map() method, event listeners, createElement, appendChild, JavaScript array of objects, template string literal interpolation, Modern JavaScript, and more!

Monsters Rolodex (React Hooks)
I recently upgraded this project to React 18 using functional React components AND hooks. For state I use the useState hook, for side effects the useEffect Hook, and the useCallback hook to prevent infinite function calls to the function created to fetch the data from the JSONPlaceholder API.

OMDB API JS App
I originally created this client slide application using the OMDB API before creating my OMDB API Node.js version. After I created that one, and discovered potential built-in API errors in the Node.js version, I applied and transformed them into their client-side rendition. I felt it important to introduce my students to application error handling and thus a basic form of "testing".

Poke API Web App
An application which utilizes the Poke API based on Pokemon characters and uses both the fetch API and AJAX, JavaScript promise chaining, the map method, creates most elements rendered to the html pages, checks for non - existent images and removes them or or sets their display properties to none, uses pointer events to replace touch and mouse events, custom build script, and Modern JavaScript in general.
