Personal Note
Here’s another LIM I’ve designed for myself! It will begin next Sunday (10/25).
Why?
- I need to build more and better projects for my almost non-existent portfolio.

Class Duration
10/25 – 12/4
Class Meeting Times

Class Goal
The goal of this class is simple and straightforward: to create three portfolio-worthy projects based on your skills in web development.
Class Overview
You will have two types of assignments for this class:
- Project Overview — Due every other Sunday, starting from the first day. For each project, you are required to give a brief description of what project you would like to create, based on the project requirements. List which requirements you cover.
- Project — Due every other Friday, starting from the second Friday. Based on the overview you gave on Sunday, work on bringing your ideas to life. You can, of course, always tweak and change your original project idea.
- Mockups — Due every other Friday, starting from the second Friday. After you finish your project, create mockups to showcase your work. This should take you no longer than half an hour — use templates.
No late work will be accepted.
