About

For my final project, I built a web application consisting of everything I had learned in the 12 weeks that I was in BrainStation.

Concept of project was to promote local dancer instructors in Vancouver and allow users to book them for lessons. The contact form involved was used to sent an email to the user, followed by a text message to verify if the user was a real person prior to obtaining further information.

In addition, an Event page was created with the use of Eventbrite API. Events posted on page were narrowed down to any events located in Vancouver that fell into the "Dance" category.
