Current Portfolio

By Andy Grossberg

Description

A .Net portfolio with blog and user comments.

Rules

This is a personal portfolio site. I'll be building this same project for the next two Fridays.

The site must include:

A landing page featuring an image of yourself or an image that expresses your style.
A blog section featuring your posts. You are not required to write any posts for this project.
Users should be able to:
- comment on specific blog posts I’ve made.
- see all previous comments left on blog posts. (All comments should have body and author fields)
I should be able to log on/off as an administrator for my portfolio.
- I can choose to either seed my database with an admin username and password, or include a registration page to register.
At the admin level I should be able to:
- Create, Read, Update, and Delete blog entries.
  - (I will Use AJAX for the GET methods for this)
- Create comments and view and remove comments anywhere on the site.
My site must include:
- My work experience
- My relevant skills
- My education
- How I got into coding
- A personal story and interests
- Contact information (link to GH, linkedin)
- My Your personal and work projects

Methodology and Comments

This week we studied Authentication and AJAX and so I'm using those class projects as inspiration for the back end of the app. The last two-week project had reviews and those are the same as comments so I will use something similar in structure.
