on this blog post, I will be writing about how I and some of my cohort mates worked together for a week and created a full-stack react app with express as our server and MongoDB as our database, that pulled data from 3 different API’s and implemented them. Our full-stack application is called HouboutdatBeer. we named it after our instructional lead that helped oversee our workflow. our application is deployed at http://yeetbeer.herokuapp.com.

our application HouboutdatBeer is about how friends can register for an account and share different types of beer they have tried and the location of where they tried it. we used one API to pull the image of the beers around a specific area and seeded them in our database and made each beer it is individual posting. also, with each posting, you have full CRUD capability.

you also can register yourself as a user and post beers on your own. you can also delete the postings you have already made. unless logged in you can not see posts from users and yourself.

when pressing the “Random Beer” button a beer API will randomly get a beer and display an image of the beer and the name, as well as a marker pointing at your location and the location of the brewery the beer is brewed.

now, reflecting on my time at GA and what comes next, I feel proud of this project and how it turned out and how well I was able to work in a group with all of us assigned different tasks and how fast we were able to complete it. but sometimes the days at GA where a struggle and somedays I wanted to give up because I didn’t understand some stuff and I find it hard for myself to reach out for help but I got through it and now I think I’m better for it. what’s next is now finding that job that’s right for me and working my way up and I’m looking forward to the interview process and how to learn more as my career progresses
