Portfolio

Portfolio - Desired Outcomes

A key part of ITEC4610 is the capstone portfolio. The portfolio has two general goals:

  • Document application of core competencies learned through the IT Minor program
  • Demonstrate to potential employers the value you could offer as an employee with skills obtained through the IT Minor program

You will have two sites:

  • A well-formatted LinkedIn profile with a link to your portfolio
  • A portfolio of your work using one of the following techniques:

You can see an example of a portfolio at https://blbauer.github.io/portfolio/.

You can also see previous ITEC 4610 portfolios.

Portfolio - Grading Rubric (Total 100 Points)

Your portfolio will be a demonstration of your skills, your personality, and your career goals, so you can expect your portfolio to be different from those created by your classmates. At a minimum, however, all IT Minor portfolios should be delivered in a web-based digital format and demonstrate the following:

  • An Elevator Pitch that serves as a home page (5 points)
  • A current Resume in HTML format (5 points)
  • A current Resume in .DOC format (5 points)
  • A generic Cover Letter (5 points)
  • Writing examples (2 examples are required, each worth 5 points)
  • Web examples (2 examples are required, each worth 5 points)
  • Database examples (2 examples are required, each worth 5 points)
  • Programming examples (2 examples are required, each worth 5 points)
  • Soft Skills examples (2 examples are required, each worth 5 points)
  • A reflection on the capstone client project (20 points)
  • A well-formatted LinkedIn profile with a link to your portfolio (10 points)

You will present your completed portfolio on December 3.

Creating Your Portfolio

You will use AWS to develop your portfolio, but you will use Github host your portfolio

  1. You can read more about how Github works at https://guides.github.com/
  2. Create a Github account (use a professional username, such as your initials and last name. Use all lowercase.
  3. Add a repository called "portfolio". Use all lowercase. Be sure that "Public" and "Add a README file" are checked, then click "Create Repository". You should have a "README" file in your repository. Leave your github browser tab open.
  4. In the upper right tabs, click on "Settings".
  5. Scroll down ot "Github Pages". On the Source value, click the dropdown and select "master branch", then click "Save". It will take a minute or two before your portfolio is published. You should be able to see the portfolio at https://yourusername.github.io/portfolio
  6. On the top of the screen, locate "yourusername / portfolio, and click on "portfolio"
  7. Click on the green "Code" button. It should say: "Clone with HTTPS". Click the clipboard next the name of tye URL. The URL should look like "https://github.com/yourusername/portfolio.git"
  8. When you publish to github, it would be nice to establish the name and the email of the person posting uploading the data to the repository. In the "bash" tab at the bottom o the page, enter your name and email:
    • git config --global user.name "USER_NAME"
    • git config --global user.email EMAIL_ADDRESS
  9. Now enter the following command to clone copy your repository to AWS. You should now see a "portfolio" folder with a README file in it.
    • git clone https://github.com/yourusername/portfolio.git
  10. Now you will want to start your portfolio with by donwnloading a template. I have stored this template in a github repository for you to copy. Enter the following command. This will create a foldered called "portfoliotemplate" with all the necessary files.
    • git clone https://github.com/blbauer/portfoliotemplate.git
  11. Drag and drop all the the files in "portfoliotemplate" to "portfolio". "portfoliotemplate" should be empty. Delete "portfoliotemplate" folder
  12. Open "index.html" in the "portfolio" folder. Click the preview tab and you should see the homepage of the portfolio.

Publishing Your Portfolio to Github

  1. Make whatever changes you want to your portfolio files
  2. When you are ready to publish, enter the following in the bash tab. See Steps 4-9 https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cloud9/latest/user-guide/sample-github.html. In the bash tab, look to see if your default directory is the folder that you want to publish. In this case it it "portfolio". If you need to set your default directory, then enter"
    • cd portfolio
  3. Now enter the following commands
    • git status
    • git add --all
    • git status
    • git commit -m "Short Description about Changes"
    • git push
    • git status
  4. Check your "portfolio" repository in github (you may have to do a refresh). You should be able to see you portfolio at https://yourusername.github.io/portfolio
  5. Click here to send me your Github Portfolio URL (something like https://yourusername.github.io/portfolio

Using Github Gist to Display Your Code

  1. For more information, see https://docs.github.com/en/github/writing-on-github/creating-gists
  2. Sign-in to Github
  3. On the right-most icon (profile), click the dropdown and select "Your gists". At this time you might not have any gists.
  4. To add a new gist library, click the plus sign to the left of your profile ion and
  5. You will be prompted for the name of the library. The name of the library is also the name of the first member in the library. The names are in alphabetial order. I normally give he first member a name like #portfolio, which will name the gist "#profolio". Just add a short description.
  6. Now you want to add your first real member. Click the "Edit" button at the top, the "Add File" button at the bottom, then type in your member name (be sure to add a filetype), and paste in your code, then click "Update Secret Gist" to save your data
  7. To display your formated code, go to the top gist and copy the script tag value next to "Embed". Past the code in your portfolio where you want it to appear. To specify and member name within the gist, as the ?filename tag, so your script might look like: <script src="https://gist.github.com/blbauer/3fa83b3c4e39ef811b0dced4e6fe80d5.js?file=standard-html-document-template.html"></script>
