-Assignment 3 - Persistence: Two-tier Web Application with Database, Express server, and CSS template
-===
+## CS:GO User Intake Form
 
-Due: September 22nd, by 11:59 AM.
+Link to website: https://webwarea3.herokuapp.com/
 
-This assignnment continues where we left off, extending it to use the most popular Node.js server framework (express), 
-a database (mongodb), and a CSS application framework / template of your choice (Boostrap, Material Design, Semantic UI, Pure etc.)
+The goal of my application was to create an account based intake form for stundents looking to join an esports team. I made the form specifically for CS:GO player, but it could be modified to fit any game or platform with a few minor tweeks. When building my application I ran into many hurdles with express and getting data to go back and forth properly. I also had an extremely annoying bug where one of my javascript files managed to unexplainably break google light house, but the entire script works fine when put into a script tag instead. My authentication strategy was rather simple. I used a username and password system and would then redirect the user to home.html with there information if there username and passwords were correct. I used bootstrap as my CSS frame work and modified there style template to create a blended hue of red and blue for my background color. 
 
-Baseline Requirements
----
+The five Express middleware packages I used were 
 
-Your application is required to implement the following functionalities:
+Express body-parser used for parsing the body of html files as well as object from my data base
+Express static used express dot static to initialize my public and view directory for use with other Express packages.  
+Express get used express get to retrieve information from my database and to get directories for essential files for the site. 
+Express post to upload, add, and update information to my database as well as update the site based on values already stored in the database for a given user profile. 
+Express JSON used to allow for the parsing of JSON objects that were being sent back and forth from the database and the user input form. 
+Express Use to allow for the use and inplimentation of other express middleware packages 
 
-- a `Server`, created using Express (no alternatives will be accepted for this assignment)
-- a `Results` functionality which shows all data associated with a logged in user (except passwords)
-- a `Form/Entry` functionality which allows users to add, modify, and delete data items (must be all three!) associated with their user name / account.
-- Use of at least five [Express middleware packages](https://expressjs.com/en/resources/middleware.html). Explore! One of these five middleware 
-can be a custom function that you write yourself; if you choose to do this, make sure to describe what this function is in your README.  
-- Persistent data storage in between server sessions using [mongodb](https://www.mongodb.com/cloud/atlas)
-- Use of a [CSS framework or template](https://github.com/troxler/awesome-css-frameworks). 
-This should do the bulk of your styling/CSS for you and be appropriate to your application. 
-For example, don't use [NES.css](https://nostalgic-css.github.io/NES.css/) (which is awesome!) unless you're creating a game or some type of retro 80s site.
 
-Your application is required to demonstrate the use of the following concepts:  
 
-HTML:  
-- HTML input tags and form fields of various flavors (`<textarea>`, `<input>`, checkboxes, radio buttons etc.)
-- HTML that can display all data *for a particular authenticated user*. Note that this is different from the last assignnment, which required the display of all data in memory on the server.
-
-Note that it might make sense to have two pages for this assignment, one that handles login / authentication, and one that contains the rest of your application.
-For example, when visiting the home page for the assignment, users could be presented with a login form. After submitting the login form, if the login is 
-successful, they are taken to the main application. If they fail, they are sent back to the login to try again. For this assignment, it is acceptable to simply create 
-new user accounts upon login if none exist, however, you must alert your users to this fact.  
-
-CSS:  
-- CSS styling should primarily be provided by your chosen template/framework. 
-Oftentimes a great deal of care has been put into designing CSS templates; 
-don't override their stylesheets unless you are extremely confident in your graphic design capabilities. 
-The idea is to use CSS templates that give you a professional looking design aesthetic without requiring you to be a graphic designer yourself.
-
-JavaScript:  
-- At minimum, a small amount of front-end JavaScript to get / fetch data from the server. 
-See the [previous assignment](https://github.com/cs4241-19a/a2-shortstack) for reference.
-
-Node.js:  
-- A server using Express, at least five pieces of Express middleware, and a persistent database (mongodb).
-
-General:  
-- Your site should achieve at least 90% on the `Performance`, `Best Practices`, `Accessibility`, and `SEO` tests 
-using Google [Lighthouse](https://developers.google.com/web/tools/lighthouse) (don't worry about the PWA test, and don't worry about scores for mobile devices).
-Test early and often so that fixing problems doesn't lead to suffering at the end of the assignment. 
-
-Deliverables
----
-
-Do the following to complete this assignment:
-
-1. Implement your project with the above requirements. A good potential starting point is to use the "hello-express" project template inside of Glitch; this appears as an option when you hit the "New Project" button. Use the work you did in the last assignment as a reference to implement functionality.
-2. If you developed your project locally, deploy your project to Glitch (unless completing the alternative server technical acheivement described below), and fill in the appropriate fields in your package.json file.
-3. Test your project to make sure that when someone goes to your main page on Glitch, it displays correctly.
-4. Ensure that your project has the proper naming scheme `a3-yourfirstname-yourlastname` so we can find it.
-5. Fork this repository and modify the README to the specifications below.
-6. Create and submit a Pull Request to the original repo. Name the pull request using the following template: `a3-firstname-lastname`.

-Acheivements
----
-
-Below are suggested technical and design achievements. You can use these to help boost your grade up to an A and customize the 
-assignment to your personal interests, for a maximum twenty additional points and a maximum grade of a 100%. 
-These are recommended acheivements, but feel free to create/implement your own... just make sure you thoroughly describe what you did in your README, 
-why it was challenging, and how many points you think the achievement should be worth. 
-ALL ACHIEVEMENTS MUST BE DESCRIBED IN YOUR README IN ORDER TO GET CREDIT FOR THEM.
-
-*Technical*
-- (10 points) Implement OAuth authentication, perhaps with a library like [passport.js](http://www.passportjs.org/). 
-*You must either use Github authenticaion or provide a username/password to access a dummy account*. 
-Course staff cannot be expected, for example, to have a personal Facebook, Google, or Twitter account to use when grading this assignment. 
-Please contact the course staff if you have any questions about this. THIS IS THE HARDEST ACHEIVEMENT OFFERED IN WEBWARE. You have been warned!  
-- (5 points) Instead of Glitch, host your site on a different service like [Heroku](https://www.heroku.com) or [Digital Ocean](https://www.digitalocean.com). Make sure to describe this a bit in your README. What was better about using the service you chose as compared to Glitch? What (if anything) was worse? 
-- (5 points) Get 100% (not 98%, not 99%, but 100%) in all four lighthouse tests required for this assignment.  
-
-*Design/UX*
-- (10 points) Make your site accessible using the [resources and hints available from the W3C](https://www.w3.org/WAI/), Implement/follow twelve tips from their [tips for writing](https://www.w3.org/WAI/tips/writing/), [tips for designing](https://www.w3.org/WAI/tips/designing/), and [tips for development](https://www.w3.org/WAI/tips/developing/). *Note that all twelve must require active work on your part*. 
-For example, even though your page will most likely not have a captcha, you don't get this as one of your twelve tips to follow because you're effectively 
-getting it "for free" without having to actively change anything about your site. 
-Contact the course staff if you have any questions about what qualifies and doesn't qualify in this regard. 
-List each tip that you followed and describe what you did to follow it in your site.
-- (5 points) Describe how your site uses the CRAP principles in the Non-Designer's Design Book readings. 
-Which element received the most emphasis (contrast) on each page? 
-How did you use proximity to organize the visual information on your page? 
-What design elements (colors, fonts, layouts, etc.) did you use repeatedly throughout your site? 
-How did you use alignment to organize information and/or increase contrast for particular elements. 
-Write a paragraph of at least 125 words *for each of four principles* (four paragraphs, 500 words in total). 
-
-Sample Readme (delete the above when you're ready to submit, and modify the below so with your links and descriptions)

+### Design/Evaluation Achievements
+- **Design Achievement 1**: I implimented the CRAP (contrast, repetition, alignment, and proximity) principles into my site:
 
-## Technical Achievements
-- **Tech Achievement 1**: I used OAuth authentication via the GitHub strategy
+For contrast my site used a vibrant mixed hue background that blended complementary colors like blue and orange to create a unique but appealing visual look to my site. I used rounded white card components from bootstrap for my main content which popped well in contrast with the colorful background. I added black boarders to certain text boxes and cards to really put an emphasis on the important information on the screen. Using contrast I was able to make my cards and textboxes pop without it being to distracting from the overall aesthetic of the site. For Repetition I used the same theme throughout the pages on the site with main color palette being blue, orange, and white. I also used similar geometry for my buttons and cards surround the content of my page. The buttons were all blue with padding when you hovered over them, and the cards were all had rounded corners with a white background. My text box inputs all had similar white backgrounds with rounded corners but changed to a lighter blue when being interacted with. For alignment almost all the content on the sight had a focus on symmetry. In the case of the login and registration screen symmetry was used for the alignment of the text boxes and the buttons. I then aligned all these elements withing a card object which I could move to be centered on the page no matter the screen size of the device viewing the website. This automatic centering helps the cite remain consistent across devices with varying screen resolutions and aspect ratios. As for proximity I made sure that everything was evenly spaced out so that the gaps between elements would remain consistent through out the sites design. In particular I had to put in a quite a bit of effort adding padding or recentering button divs in order to make the spacing look good. I also had to use bootstraps cards and containers features to orient certain elements correctly. Overall, I am happy with the way the website turned out and think I incorporated these design rules well when building my website.
