30 ASP.NET Websites
This was a repository for me to demonstrate my winding path of learning with Microsoft ASP.NET. My goal was that I would ultimately create 30 webpages/websites in the same vein as Jennifer Dewalt’s 180 Webpages and much like her, I had three main requirements:
- I need to learn/practise something new with each one.
- There will (usually) be a blog entry for it where I pick through the interesting aspects.
- I consider some lessons learnt at the end of each task.

OFSTED Heatmap
This project details the implementation of a small web-app that (amongst other things) provides information about when a school in Bexley was last visited by OFSTED (the UK agency for inspecting schools). Briefly, it uses a small amount of JavaScript, Google Maps (for the map and a KML file) and Python to scrape the data from the OFSTED website.
Find the live version here but note that the data hasn’t been updated in almost 100 years.
