Mine: I made a simple SQL database for a T-SQL Foundations course 😄

I made a markdown portfolio as part of a GitHub Learning Lab course (now https://skills.github.com/)

A little class calendar plugin for WordPress written in PHP for my first coding job ever

🚀 I helped build the software for a competition with my university's rocketry team. The goal was to identify a target on the ground using a camera attached to a payload falling under a parachute. We had a webcam on two servos with software that tried to aim the camera based on orientation & GPS location. It didn't work (the batteries died on the launchpad 😅), but it was so much fun. It wasn't just the first time I used GitHub -- it was also the first time I'd ever written code on a team ❤️

I was young and a fan of the show Serial Experiments Lain, so I created a blog page for the show from scratch.

Funny enough, my user handle was inspired by Ghost in the Shell, another show I was a fan of at the time. So I guess my love of anime inadvertently guided me here 🤷🏾‍♀️

Oh man..... It had to be to create a blog for myself but professionally was contributing to SuiteCRM

I built a to-do list (of course) in Ruby on Rails (it was 2014! 😁 )

My choir had a directory built in MS Access that had suddenly stopped working properly (this was 2011). I was learning Ruby on Rails and needed a portfolio piece to find a junior dev position. I rewrote the directory as a Rails app and deployed it to Heroku 🚀

I think mine was something to do with the LIFX lights and building a controller for them so I could control them from my Stream Deck while live on Twitch 😋

My first assignment for an HTML course, our teacher tasked us to create a character sheet for some random characters from World of Warcraft 😆

Thank you everyone for contributing to this discussion 🚀 This particular discussion was a part of Universe 2023 that we are now moving over to other relevant categories -- moving this thread over to the New to GitHub category. We'd love to hear more from you 🙌
