My Mohawk College Android Final Project. The application connects to an API where it gathers course information and parses it. Using fragments and listviews for navigation the application shows a user course codes, course names and course descriptions. The user can also fire off and event to call the API and get new data.

For some clients Google Analytics can be too complicated to navigate so I developed my own simple solution, I will add it was alot of fun! Utilizing a the jVectorMaps jQuery Plug-in and the Torann - Laravel Geo-Ip Package this solution plots red circle markers to indicate where visitors are coming from. Additionally the visitor data captured is stored in a database which is displayed on a responsive, paginated, searchable and, sortable table. The Visitor Table offers summary and detailed views including flag icons beside the country names with the ability to export data to Microsoft Excel files. The Visitor Tracker uses a series of Ajax calls and never reloads the page. This application is also written in Vue.js utilizing live Pusher.js Events and a JavaScript backend to display data live as visitors arrivate to this site. Additionally it sends out a SlackBot notification when a visitor arrives so chances are I already know your reading this page. See it here for yourself!

The purpose of this application is to manage and track proper nutritional intake, specifically calculating the required daily intake of each basic food group as specified by the Canada Food Guide for Healthy Eating. The target user base lodges that take care of older folks and those with mental health issues this software is solving the problem of feeding these patients. Every month these businesses are being audited to ensure they are feeding the patients according to the Canadian Health Food Guide. The problem being solved with this application is to help the owners and their staff make daily menus that meet the Canadian Health Food Daily Requirements. This software will also store the menus and allow the staff to access them during an audit. All food data is imported from the Health Canada Website – Canadian Nutrient File (http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/fn-an/nutrition/fiche-nutri-data/cnf_downloads-telechargement_fcen-eng.php) to assure accuracy.
From Conceptulization, Mockup, Development, Design Phase, Testing and Reporting this project was completed in 4 months time by just me following the complete SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle). The documentation for the Menu Builder Project which illustraits the detail and work put into this project can be found below.
