Inspiration
Our portfolio name, the SSquad, was inspired from the fact that both of our names start with an "s" and we make a fun programming squad.
What it does
Clicking on the photos that appear after you scroll down from the initial landing page leads to a page introducing each member of the SSquad. Each page consists of full-screen sections describing the respective member's previous work experience, hobbies, education, and where they've traveled before. Each section can also be accessed from the navigation bar at the top of any page on the website.
How we built it
For remote collaboration, we used Discord, Github, and Zoom. Each web page was structured with HTML and styled with CSS. Python and Flask was used to re-route between pages and sections. Jinja was used to create a template for additional work experience, hobbies, and education.
Challenges we ran into
Neither of us were familiar with Jinja so it took some time to read its documentation and incorporate it into our HTML code. It had also been a while since either of us had used HTML and CSS extensively so re-learning how to use both languages also required reading documentation and watching tutorials.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We're proud of completing the Github, portfolio, and Flask tasks as a team in incremental steps and carefully managing the time we had until the deadline. We're also proud of learning Jinja and becoming re-acquainted with HTML and CSS.
What we learned
- Github
- how to create issues, branches for each issue, and pull requests
- HTML
- how to structure a web page in an organized manner
- CSS
- how to style HTML including centering, shaping, spacing, and coloring elements.
What's next for The SSquad
We hope to use the Github best practices and technologies we learned while building this portfolio for more exciting projects in the future.
