Serious question: Can someone recommend a program or type of program to code for my example that would show I'm capable? I'm a self-taught beginner but I want to tackle something that would be more intermediate to demonstrate I have gumption.
Right now I'm coding an entire redo of my state's legislative site because I find it lacking in too many ways but there's not really any JS in there that I would say is impressive (plus that's how bad their site is).
- rjbond3rd 13y agoHmm, how about if you build some kind of API to the legislative site's data somehow? Bills coming up, etc.? Or whatever data is there. Then a widget could display the data on other sites. Just a (very conventional) thought.
- MWil 13y agoThat's a good idea, haven't attempted an API yet (and it would be one of the next steps for the project anyway)
- sbuccini 13y agoI don't think it has to be in-depth. I just made an implementation of Blackjack in Python. The rules are very easy to code up, and the AI (the dealer) is actually hard-coded by the rules, so no nasty trees or recursion. It also allowed me to demonstrate my knowledge of object oriented programming, program design, etc. I would probably recommend something other than a mostly HMTL/CSS website because that doesn't show off your programming chops very well. Don't stress about it too much!
