Bella's Movie Recs


This is a silly little site that displays movies that I recommend based on genre. The main goal of this project was to create my own server-side JavaScript file/API and then access it via the client side. This was completed individually as part of a web development course that I took as a student for the University of Washington.

Technologies/skills employed:

HTML: forms the structure of the webpage
CSS: manages all the styling, thematic elements, fonts, etc.
Server-Side JavaScript: my own Node.js web service, sets up the data and request endpoints
Client-Side JavaScript: defines all of the client-side functionality. It makes requests to my API based on the genre button that the user clicks and dynamically displays those results (AKA the movies from that genre and their details) on the page
Visual Studio Code: IDE used for the development of this game/site
Gitlab: managed and saved various versions of the project during the development process, ran code quality tests
Glitch: when migrating from my school files to my personal portfolio, I used Glitch to host this site (I didn't use my ususal Github pages for this one because Github pages only hosts static sites)
