Now the method I&rsquo;ve chosen mixes a lot of technologies; It also took me a few days of banging my head on the desk and running into numerous roadblocks, <strong>but</strong> I <em>think</em> I&rsquo;ve found the solution that I&rsquo;ve been after that is both functional and secure as well as low maintenance with minimal headaches.</p> https://connor.grout.xyz/posts/2025/02/senior-capstone-project/ Thu, 27 Feb 2025 12:45:04 -0500 https://connor.grout.xyz/posts/2025/02/senior-capstone-project/ This is a special blog post that will cover, drumroll please.. My Senior Capstone Project! In 2018 as part of my Bachelor of Science degree I had to complete a Senior Capstone Project, and present the project to my peers as well as attend the University of Cincinnati’s CECH (College of Education, Criminal Justice and Human Services) IT Expo.
