Parmageddon

...more detail

Are you a serial parma orderer? Do you ever wonder where the best parma in your area is? My friends and I would rate the dish each pub outing we made. Some were average; some were horrible. Occasionally we'd stumble across an amazing offering. There exist a sizable quantity of rating services across social media, but the vast majority are voted on by the content creators. I found there was something missing - a site where the public could rate (that's you!) and then search and find a winning parma right near them. And Parmageddon was born!

This site was designed with a specific purpose in mind, and pulled together a lot of skills I've learned over the past year. Working with and parsing the Google APIs was a challenge but I was persistent and made it through with all the functionality I had planned complete. Parmageddon helped me broaden my Rails knowledge, allowed me to fully push a hosted site to the public, and gave me a foundation in SEO and the like.
