I'm trying to break into software development/data analytics sector and I wanted to build a project to practice my coding. I wanted to build a novel project rather than following along to a basic YouTube video project and not really learn anything. I'm interested in the renewable energy sector and after browsing the web noticed there isn't any public data on real time wind energy production in Ireland. I took the task onto myself to attempt to build a dashboard that solved this issue.
It was a painful task at the start. I had very little coding background and I felt swamped by the sea of information out there. I didn't know where to start. I didn't know what tools to use or how to even approach a project like this. I didn't understand how I was going to make the dashboard interactive and how I was going to get my data to the user, how to store the data or how to even get the project online (if I could get that far).
But after many many hours of development and a steep learning curve I finally created something I'm proud of. I can't say it's the sleekest project and under the hood there is definitely a lot of code that's janky, but on the surface it does what I set out to do!
If you're interest in finding out more about the project there is an "About" page on the dashboard that gives an insight into how I created it.
Please feel free to make any suggestions or comments!
