A web-viewer flipbook for a personal project

After being frustrated by flipbook services with monthly payments and watermarks, I decided to start working on my own dynamic flipbook for a book I’m writing and releasing online. It uses JavaScript, HTML, and CSS to work, and can be found at https://msheckman.com/luna.

A Tool for Multi-Paradigm Modeling (AToMPM)

I helped to develop a model-based alternative to classic block-based coding methods for a study, such as those presented in code.org’s “Hour of Code.” The project can be found here: https://github.com/mdeforall/atompm/tree/Summer21.
