Who Should Lebron James sign to?
This project gives a chance to all fans of Lebron James to state what team he should sign to and why. I will show Lebron the results before he decides his next team.

How It's Made: Tech used: HTML, CSS, Javascript, Node, Express, Mongo, Embedded Javascript
I started off by using Node and Express to create a server that my browser can connect to. After ensuring my server was up and running I created a form in Embedded Javascript that the user can input info to. After that I linked my Mongo database to the form so when information gets entered it also gets stored into the database. I then added 2 pictures of Lebron that allows the user to vote on the post, one with him giving a thumbs up and the other with him giving disapproval. All of these results are logged to the database so I can show Lebron.
Optimizations: Instead of having a simple thumbs up and thumbs down button I wanted to use pictures of Lebron that could represent what the user felt so I found those 2 pictures and used those instead of a thumbs up and down button.
Lessons Learned: I created an express server, learned to execute CRUD operations, save and read from MongoDB and I also learned to use a template engine like Embedded JS. I also learned how to tie a click event of a picture to a vote count.
Examples: Take a look at these couple examples that I have in my own portfolio:
