Production Engineering - Week 1 - Portfolio Site

Welcome to the MLH Fellowship! During Week 1, you'll be using Flask to build a portfolio site. This site will be the foundation for activities we do in future weeks so spend time this week making it your own and reflect your personality!

Tasks

Once you've got your portfolio downloaded and running using the instructions below, you should attempt to complete the following tasks.

For each of these tasks, you should create an Issue and work on them in a new branch. When the task has been completed, you should open a Pull Request and get another fellow in your pod to give you feedback before merging it in.

Note: Make sure to include a link to the Issue you're progressing on inside of your Pull Request so your reviewer knows what you're progressing on!

GitHub Tasks

  • Create Issues for each task below
  • Progress on each task in a new branch
  • Open a Pull Request when a task is finished to get feedback

Portfolio Tasks

  • Add a photo of yourself to the website
  • Add an "About youself" section to the website.
  • Add your previous work experiences
  • Add your hobbies (including images)
  • Add your current/previous education
  • Add a map of all the cool locations/countries you visited

Flask Tasks

  • Get your Flask app running locally on your machine using the instructions below.
  • Add a template for adding multiple work experiences/education/hobbies using Jinja
  • Create a new page to display hobbies.
  • Add a menu bar that dynamically displays other pages in the app

Getting Started

You need to do all your progress here.

Installation

Make sure you have python3 and pip installed

Create and activate virtual environment using virtualenv

$ python -m venv python3-virtualenv
$ source python3-virtualenv/bin/activate

Use the package manager pip to install all dependencies!

pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

Create a .env file using the example.env template (make a copy using the variables inside of the template)

Start flask development server

$ export FLASK_ENV=development
$ flask run

You should get a response like this in the terminal:

❯ flask run
 * Environment: development
 * Debug mode: on
 * Running on http://127.0.0.1:5000/ (Press CTRL+C to quit)

You'll now be able to access the website at localhost:5000 or 127.0.0.1:5000 in the browser!

Note: The portfolio site will only work on your local machine while you have it running inside of your terminal. We'll go through how to host it in the cloud in the next few weeks!

Contributing

Pull requests are welcome. For major changes, please open an issue first to discuss what you would like to change.

Please make sure to update tests as appropriate.
