BrokeBuzz is a fun project that I put together to improve upon and demonstrate my rails ability. The idea behind BrokeBuzz is to enable users to search for beer, wine, or liquor, and after making a few additional inputs, determine which selection will most efficiently get them buzzed (based off the lowest price per pure ounce of alcohol). Several items I focused on including in this project were:
- use of HTTParty gem to connect with BreweryDB and Wine.com APIs for wine & beer searches
- rails conventions like restful routes, div_for, and form helpers
- before save / after save functionality in the Items model
- continuous integration and deployment to Heroku through circle CI
- randomly generated, dynamic background
- single page applicaton
- rspec testing
