- The goal was to use the tools we learned in class and make a working game through a webpage that is hosted/run on a Virtual Machine. By using our Virtual Machine (IIS Server) we were to use node.js to run a JavaScript program through a webpage we created through HTML. I added inbound/outbound port rules to allow established connections to be able to properly run the game through the webpage. I needed the web page to display the buttons properly and, when clicked, display an alert to let the user know the result of whether they won the game or not (by picking rock, paper, or scissors). The result was that I was able to successfully get the webpage and the game to work, whilst running the IIS server through my Virtual Machine. I was able to add new rules for ports and placed the HTML and JS files in their rightful locations in order to have the game work properly. I learned that this whole process is very versatile, during the course of the semester we learned both Virtual Machines (Azure), and coding (node.js), however we learned them separately. This exercise helped combine the two and show what’s possible with what we can work with. I also learned how important adding inbound/outbound port rules were, in order to allow connections to be able to run any webpages, programs, or games that you make.

MIS 2402 Web API Proof of Concept
The goal of this project was to demonstrate how an API can be used. In order to do so, I used Javascript to create a page that displays dinosaur species that have been discovered relatively near the user’s location using the Google Geolocation and GeoCoding API as well as the Paleobiology Database API. My page ended up doing exactly this though it could use some adjusting. The address that is displayed is not perfectly accurate to the user’s location and the area created to find dinosaurs within varies in distance, since the measures are in latitude and longitude. While it still needs work, I think the project perfectly displays my proof of concept for a program that can identify dinosaurs nearby based on a user’s location.

MIS 3406 Pro Point WordPress Class Project
This project focused on WordPress, specifically coding on top of WordPress, to showcase the platform’s customizability. The platform allows users to customize the blocks of text easily to display html, CSS and user-written JavaScript. I showcased this using a locally-hosted version of WordPress and a small sample JavaScript code. The site also allows for theme customization and includes CSS editing to change the theme, and therefore your text site-wide. I learned the application of these techniques and they will be helpful to know when I need to work with WordPress again, or in web design at large.
