This repository showcases my web development projects created in support of my application to the Vets Who Code program. It includes an "About Me" webpage highlighting my personality and skills, a tribute page dedicated to the inspiring Grace Hopper, and a foundational web form project. I am eager to demonstrate my passion for learning and my commitment to developing a career in technology through these projects.
This repository is organized into the following directories, each representing a distinct project:
about-me-webpage/: Contains the files for my interactive "About Me" webpage, featuring a forest background, multi-tiered dropdown Q&A, a small gallery of paintings and a book quote quiz game.grace-hopper-tribute-page/: Holds the files for the tribute page dedicated to the remarkable life and work of Rear Admiral Grace Hopper, created as part of the FreeCodeCamp curriculum.web-form-project/: Includes the files for a basic web form, developed as a FreeCodeCamp exercise for a fictional educational study app.
- Description: A small web page project used for an application to the Vets Who Code program and it is intended to introduce myself and show my personality. This project demonstrates my ability to create interactive elements and a unique user experience through HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
- Key Features: Multi-tiered dropdown menu, a gallery, and a book quotes game.

- Description: I chose to dedicate my tribute page to Rear Admiral Grace Hopper because I was deeply impressed by her life, her monumental achievements in computer science, and the enduring impact she continues to have on our modern digital world. Surprisingly, I realized I knew very little about this remarkable woman and don't recall ever learning about her in my formal education. Creating this responsive tribute page became an opportunity not only to fulfill the FreeCodeCamp curriculum requirement, but also to personally learn more about her inspiring story and a significant part of computing history.
- Key Features: A historical timeline of Grace Hopper's life and some major events during her lifetime. A gallery of pictures with Grace Hopper featuring quotes from her.

- Description: I chose to model the web form project as an intake form for a fictional educational application because it offered the creative flexibility and freedom to design the questions and form elements in a way that best demonstrated my understanding of user input and interface design. This approach allowed me to envision practical applications of web forms. While this version showcases fundamental form structures and validation, I see it as an evolving project and a foundation upon which I intend to build more advanced web development skills within the Vets Who Code program.
- Key Feature: Basic HTML5 form validation.

- There is a visual anomaly where header sizes within the multi-tiered dropdown menu on the "About Me" page appear larger when certain sections are clicked in the GitHub Desktop profile view on a mobile device. This issue did not manifest during local development on a laptop and requires further investigation.
