Pokemon Party Web Application
A web application that uses PokeAPI to fulfill course tasks. Built for the Web Applications fundamentals course, demonstrating proficiency in modern web development: front-end scripting, APIs, and basic backend with Node and SQL.
Skills & technologies
Inspiration
The project was part of the Web Applications course. Using PokeAPI gave us a real, well-documented API to work with so we could focus on fetching data, rendering it in the UI, and handling user interactions—without building our own backend from scratch.
Approach
I built a front end that calls PokeAPI for Pokemon data, displays it in a structured way, and lets users perform the required tasks (e.g. search, filter, or list). I used Node.js and SQL for any server-side or persistence requirements specified in the course, and kept the UI simple so the focus stayed on scripting, virtual machines, and security concepts covered in the class.
Takeaways
Integrating a third-party API, handling async data in the browser, and applying course material on performance and security in a concrete project.
