Archived Github Repositories

Spring MVC/Bootstrap/AngularJS Starter

Get up and running quickly with Spring MVC with Bootstrap and AngularJS in place. Just clone and run mvn jetty:run.

Logback Request

Arduino BBQ Smoker

Arduino sketch and design for a device that reads and displays probe temperatures. Eventually, there might be temperature reporting and actively actuating a fan or something.

Septacular
