Hyun’s Dojo

Hyun’s Dojo is a social platform and animation portal for young amateur animators. I designed the entire website and built it with the then-popular forum software PhpBB at its core. This was the first major project I took on as a full stack web developer.

The frontend is founded on jQuery and CSS done “the hard way”. I designed and developed all of the UI components with more advanced functionality through heavy use of jQuery plugins.

The backend that I wrote largely resides in a single PHP file that switched on the passed action and returned some HTML or JSON. Never do this, it is a terrible idea.

This project’s structure reflects my knowledge at the time. I like to reflect on it as a personal example of how both people and software grow over time.
