CHum 489R Project: Writers Camp

Well, it is finally done. Sort of.

Tonight was the final presentation for my CHum 489R Computing Project class and I had to take my website that I had built and go present it in front of the other students from the class as well as the professor and my technical and content advisors.

My project was a website called Writers Camp which I built for Stephen Tuttle, one of the faculty members in the English Department and a teacher that I've taken a class from before. I wanted to find a teacher I felt like I would enjoy working with rather than someone who I didn't really know. As it turns out building the website for Professor Tuttle was a great experience.

I think the website turned out quite well, and it accomplishes everything that he wanted plus a little extra. As it stands right now if I never worked on it again it would serve the purpose it was built for to let Professor Tuttle manage the students in his class along with their stories, but I think there are some great things that could still be added to the site that wouldn't take much to do and that I think I can do with little to no extra help if I put my mind to it.

I'm glad the class is finished and I'm glad that I can take a week or two to relax and take a bit of a breather and enjoy some time to myself. I need to help Holly around the house with a few things and Jack is starting to learn new things all the time, so not having class for a little while will certainly be a good thing for me.
