Learning by making little things
I worked through exercises from Brian P. Hogan’s Exercises for Programmers to deepen my skills in multiple languages and frameworks. Each challenge focuses on a practical task: calculating, converting, checking, or playing with words.
I approached each problem by first planning a basic structure, coding a rough solution, and then iterating to make it cleaner and more efficient. Building the same kind of interaction in PHP, JavaScript, and Vue meant rethinking the solution for each language.
What I built
- Small forms and interfaces for the exercises, including a character counter, currency converter, and anagram checker.
- Reusable structure around the individual exercises.
- A growing collection I could revisit as I learned more.
This is an archived arcade project. The source preserves the exercises; this portfolio page is a record of the work, not a running version of the original PHP app.
