This is an event planner app that was built as a final project for Harvard's CS50 Introduction to Computer Science course. It aims to help users organize events by managing shopping, to do and guest lists. Short video

With this project I expanded my knowledge in writing model validations (using attributes like presence, inclusion, format, acceptance etc.), witnessed the importance of writing and running model, controller and integration tests that I wrote using Minitest, practiced writing helper methods and creating model associations, and learned how to use SASS to modify Bootstrap themes.
One of the main difficulties I faced was combining data from existing data tables (Events, Contacts) into a third table (Connections). Creating a Connection model and using foreign keys allowed contacts to be added as guests to multiple events without repeating information from Contacts and Events tables. Working on design and coloring has also been a challenge and I tried to create as smooth user experience as I could.
