Skills

Basic Skills

Before the Iron Yard, I had a fascination with tinkering with website design, now I have the tools to get the layout done efficiently, and professionally. My attention to detail with layout and design is something that I pride myself in.

  • Html5
  • CSS3
  • Bootstrap
  • Sass
  • Responsive Design

Javascript

I began the Iron Yard with no javascript knowledge, and am now fully versitile with javascript and javascript frameworks. For my final project, I used Angular.js with a boiler plate comprised of NodeJs and MongoDB. I was especially proud of my ability to manage the scope of my project and turn a prolonged dream into reality.

  • Backbone.js
  • Angular.js
  • jQuery
  • Underscore.js
  • JSON/JSONP

Testing tools

A portion of our projects at the Iron Yard were required to be tested so that we could understand the importance of, and gain experience in writing test driven applications.

  • Mocha

Other Skills/Tools

My final project allowed me gain some limited knowledge about MongoDB and NodeJs. I was excited to get hands on experience with a new set of backend tools. At the Iron Yard, Github, and package managers like Bower and NPM were used everyday, these things have become second nature.

  • light MongoDB
  • Light NodeJs
  • AJAX
  • Github
  • NPM
  • Bower
