Week 11
After reading the title of this post, if you don't have the rock sounds of Europe playing in your head, shame on you!
...lectures are over, much to Instructor Chris's delight. Though now we move into the final project phase of our course. We're on our own time (for the most past) and under our own direction (again, for the most part...I mean, Chris is still there to guide and assist as needed.)
The course is normally only 12 weeks, but with the Holidays, this cohort is on a 14 week schedule. This means I've got until Jan. 8th to complete my proposed project.
For my proposed project, I'm playing off my experience with Swing Dance events, their organization, the headaches, and attempting to create a web application that will make things easier.
Through this, I'll be showcasing my ability to create a website that utilizes users signing up/logging in/logging out (hopefully with Facebook or Gmail as options), with the ability to choose events they are attending, track these events, be given information regarding them (cost, housing info, maps, etc.) with updates and reminders when the event is near, link with Facebook, show who else is attending, in addition to a wide variety of other options I'll spare you from having to read through.

In theory, this will also allow a small portion of the site to be used for hosting dance events, so smaller dance groups or college scenes needing a quick website for their event can easily get the information out. By utilizing this platform, smaller groups also link with an platform where bigger events are listed - hopefully spurring more interest.
Essentially, I'm hoping to create a web hub for swing dance events. Let's do this!

In his later years, Frankie Manning taught all over Europe.
