Inspiration
The current TTU Map website is ugly in my opinion and could use a new look. I also have been wanting to learn how to use the Google Maps API, so this was the perfect project.
What it does
Informs on important locations and allows you to search for them as well.
How we built it
JavaScript, HTML, CSS and the Google Maps API
Challenges we ran into
Both my teammates bailed on me the last second before the hackathon began so I was alone until my girlfriend decided to help me. Thanks to her I have at least a working project to show.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
A completed map project as a team of 2, and she has never programmed before.
What we learned
I learned how to use the Google Maps API and I was also able to practice making a responsive website that scales to fit the window size. She learned the basics of programming in JavaScript.
What's next for Texas Tech Map Website
More locations added and a feature to filter out what locations you want to see to make the map more customizable to user needs.
