Wall Desk Floor 

Wall Desk Floor is an 'online store' built with the MEAN stack (MongoDB, Express, AngularJS, and Node). There is no specific meaning to the name. I am pretty certain that one day we just randomly came up with the expression. Though none of these books are curated, we know for a fact that we have some damn fine books. This is an ongoing project and the checkout doesn't actually work.

Like many of the other group projects completed while I was doing the WDI program at GA, I tackled mainly the front-end of the app, and working on simple wireframes prior to writing any code. The app really tries to highlight the needs of the user (sprinkling a little bit of that UX knowledge I have). Hence, we have attempted to make callout buttons obvious and an easily navigable site and allowing the user to return to a page they were previously at. 

I wrote all of the CSS and utilized Angular's powerful built-in functionality (such as directives and two-way data binding). It was definitely a hard transition coming from a jQuery background. Before getting remotely comfortable with Angular, I have always simply written AJAX calls and added interactivity with jQuery. After this project, I have realized how amazing Angular is and cannot wait to work on a future project with it (which I actually did!).

Personal Achievement:

I experimented with bower - a front-end dependencies package manager. I originally wanted to write in Sass and use gulp.js to compile it into CSS but time ran out and we wanted to be able to deliver an MVP.
