JavaScript Software Development Course - Fundamentals of JavaScript and ES6, jQuery, Events/DOM, JSON, HTML/CSS, Bootstrap, JSX - APIs, OAuth - ASYNC JS and Callbacks - React hooks - Building applications using React.js, Node.js, CRUD & Firebase, APIs. - Command Line Interface, GIT and version control, CLI applications, VS code - Frontend and Backend Development Final Project: - Built a "News Sentiment Analysis Application" using React.js, Node.js, HTML/CSS and Heroku. - Application allows users to perform search queries of a News API on any topic. Users can then navigate to a separate page and drop a news headline or article text into a form where instant sentiment analysis is performed returning Sentiment scores (scale +5 to -5) and General Sentiment ranking. I built the application using the Node.js "Sentiment" library which uses the AFINN-165 wordlist/corpus. My goal of the application was to combine JS development skills with my data science/NLP skills in Node.js. Skills: Git · JavaScript · Python (Programming Language)
