Wordle!

Tools/Languages

C#, Blazor, .NET, gRPC

Summary

A Wordle clone utilizing multi-service gRPC architecture, where the game service was set up as both a client and a server, a client that requested the word-of-the-day from the word service, and a server to the user client that managed game state and streamed a response for every guess that the user submits. This was a group project with 2 other peers. I decided to challenge myself to learn Blazor for this project. We worked together really well and had a lot of fun with it.

Learning outcomes:

1. Blazor
2. .NET
3. gRPC
4. Collaborating with other contributors

Flask, Python, HTML, CSS, Visual Studio Code

Summary

My first full-stack app project as part of Harvard's CS50 programming course. This is a mock trading app that allows a user to create an account, lookup real-time stock prices using Yahoo's API, and spend their cash to purchase and sell stock shares at their current prices. The user can view their current holdings and their transaction history using an intuitive simple-to-use interface.

4. Interfacting with a back-end SQL database
5. Graceful error handling e.g. invalid login, invalid stock lookup
6. User input validation
