The task was to write a User Manual for Needles Case Management Application and SQL Anywhere Database that would assist technically inclined users in learning how to use Needles without initially relying on official documentation. Wrote several sections drawing information from experience with the application and database and the official documentation, added multiple screen captures to aid readers who prefer a visual learning experience and provided brief but detailed summaries and tutorials on various features and utilities of interest to MCV Law staff and future interns.

Used Java to create a program that interacts with a fictitious MySQL Database used to keep track Capstone projects for graduate students. Provided code for the Database connection and Data Layer classes. Worked with the group to document project milestones and unit test.

The goal was to create a professional web page, with responsive CSS, centered on a location we either lived at or visited. Developed and implemented the HTML, CSS, Javascript, and PHP code used on the page and also used a MySQL Database with phpMyAdmin to select and insert user comments on the page.
