I am particularly excited about this project as it is an opportunity to strengthen and utilize my computer sciences skills combined with my passion and love for travel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Web applications have multiple components, from how it appears to the user (referred to as the &#8220;frontend&#8221;) to what is actually happening behind the scenes (the &#8220;backend&#8221;) to make everything work together and interact with the database. When a software developer is able to do both frontend and backend work, they are referred to as a &#8220;Full Stack Developer&#8221;.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Typically, my comfort zone and interest would be more behind the scenes in the backend of the application. However, I wanted to use this project as an opportunity to strengthen my frontend skills (what the user sees and interacts with) to become a more well-rounded developer, and thus volunteered to take this on for PlanIt! My goal is to make a responsive web page that is functional and looks like something from the current decade. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In future posts, I will be sharing more about my experience with frontend development for this project and helpful tools along the way. Stay tuned!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello!
