C#, ASP.NET, MVC Web Application
The OLaunch mini-project will result in a small web application that will use an open source API, ASP.NET, and C# to return information about orbital launches happening around the world.
OLaunch App Purpose
To demonstrate a level of proficiency with C#, ASP.NET, and MVC as part of my portfolio.
Product Development
Since it will be a small demo app, I will use an abbreviated FDD/Agile approach to develop OLaunch.
Environment and Tools
The app will be developed via Hyper-V inside an evaluation virtual machine with Windows 10 and Visual Studio 2019 that runs on my local box. Github will be used as a remote repository for the project.
I did trial a Hyper-V in an Azure environment, but from a scope and cost standpoint, a local VM was best.
Related Work
My previous project, Affirm (app, series and code), is similar in that it, too, is an MVC app developed in a VM.
Affirm was, however, developed under an Ubuntu Vagrant VM (tutorial and code) I configured myself. It’s also a Rails stack app.
I’ve worked with MVC apps before OLaunch and Affirm. At Jeppesen, a Boeing subsidiary, I worked on Terminal Charts, a MVC application. See my resume.
