Node Skeleton

Resource Wall

Created a Pinterest-style resource wall using RESTful conventions and HTTP routing. The front end was built with jQuery, Javascript, Flexbox, CSS, and Ajax while the back end included Node.js, Express, and Knex. The database used was PostgreSQL and the server side rendering was done through a EJS view engine.
