October 2016 - Now
This is indeed the actual website you are using right now.
For me, it is a real project, because I took the challenge to use Polymer, a Google framework, in order to quickly develop a stable website, instead of just set up a Wordpress.
What is Polymer ?
This is a web components based framework designed by a Google team.
What is important to keep in mind about this framework ?
The Material Design
This is the Google graphical charter, allowing a unique and clean design. You can see the official documentation here
The web components compatibility
Google bet the web components will be the next standard for the web. According to this statement, Polymer is trying to use the maximum of the concept of web components. Obvously, a new standard means an great cross-browser compatibility. You can get more informations about web components on the Official website
The web application concept
Polymer is thought to build web applications, wich means that the website will be highly interactive, and the possibilities look like you are building a native application, but for the web
Why using Polymer ?
Indeed, Polymer is quite good if you want a clean and stable appareance for your website. Then, it is a good solution to make this website easily sustainable. Actually, this portfolio is only a matter of HTML, CSS and JavaScript for now, but this is because I wanted to quickly set up my portfolio. In the future, I plan to migrate the hard-coded data of this to a database. At this point, the powerness of Polymer will make sense in this context.
I took me only one week to set up and build the global structure of this website. You can see below the git trace of this project :
