Creating a portfolio entry is optional, but I think it's a great way for you to show, not tell about your new-found coding skills. I'm going to show you how to use this template to put an entry on Behance, and this is a thing you can add in your LinkedIn profile and share with collaborators, employers, and so forth. So it's optional, but I would highly encourage you to give this a try and showcase the cool things that you did here in the class. Also, if you posted on LinkedIn or Twitter or something, definitely, tag me, I would love to see your work. Let's go in and take a look at how to use the templates in the Behance system to create a really cool portfolio entry. Let's take a look at the details of how you create this portfolio entry. If the link doesn't take you there, the subsection you want on this page is this one, "Application Development". These instructions are basically self-service, but I'm going to take you through them. The one catches that I have a special Google Slides template, which is also in the course resources, that you'll find and that's the one you should use rather than this one that it links to. So I'm going to go there, and this entry already has all this HVAC in a hurry stuff in it from the brief. So this is just a little bit of an easier way for you to get started. So you should make a copy of this, which is what I have here, and then there are these various notes on how you may want to go in and update, some of the material that you see here. Now, I'm going to go ahead and delete those as a next step because we're going to export this in a second, but you may want to read them. Then the basic idea is that, you may want to go in here and just update some of these user stories for example, or these images, you don't have to use any of this stuff. It's just there to make this a little bit easier for you to get started with. So once we're happy with that, we're going to download this as a PDF. Now, I know that seems weird, you can export as an image from Google Slides, but the issue is we're using this Google Slides application in a weird way where we have a giant slide here. If we export directly, there are some limits on the image resolution that will run into, and you'll end up with an image that looks soft and crummy. So we're going to go through this two-step process. We're going to go here, "Download as PDF", and then I'm going to move this to my desktop. Once you've got a PDF, the next step is to convert this to a PNG and I normally do this on my local application on my computer, but I'm assuming you probably don't have that. So I Googled and I found this site that lets you do it online. So I'm going to go ahead, and I'm going to select this PDF that I created, and I'm going to click "Upload". This site is going to do its thing and convert it. We're going to take this next step, "Convert to a PNG", and then we're going to, "Download this as a zip archive". Then, I'm going to move that over to my desktop and unzip it, which I actually already did in a previous step. Then, we go to Behance, which is really where we're headed now. When you first go to Behance, it's B-E-H-A-N-C-E dot net, you'll need to create an account. I've noticed they have this pop-up thing that's annoying that when you start to do a project, but really what you need to do is just creating this thing it says, "Create a Project", which I've done. You're going to upload the PNG that you created. Once we're okay with this, it'll validate like that. Then, what we're going to do is the last step, is to add a YouTube video of our demo. Now, there's a couple of steps that proceed that, you don't need to use something on your local computer. There's a couple notes in the course resources. I use ScreenFlow on the Mac, Camtasia Studio, C-A-M-T-A-S-I-A, which again is in the course resources is popular for the PC, or anything that just allows you to do a screen capture with or without your voice. In the example, I'm going to show you I did a voice over, but I don't think that's essential. So I'm going to go to this dummy user's YouTube channel, and I'm just going to click here to add a video, and it's going to prompt me to create a channel. So congratulations, [inaudible] have one. l am going to set this to public, which is important, so that everybody can get it. Then, I'm going to take this MP4 that I exported from, in my case, ScreenFlow, but you can use anything that works for you. I think it's also possible to do videos on a Mac with just QuickTime. Then, this is going to process for a minute or two here. Then, when it finishes, I'm going to click "Publish", and then I go and I grab the embed code. It's not going to look so crummy once it finishes processing. Then, I'm going to go to "Share" here and I just click this thing that says "Embed" on the same iconography is the Behance site. I grab this, I go back to Behance, and I click this little embed thing, and I click "Embed". Now, I have an entry, I'm going to click "Continue". Very important, you have to put in a title, which isn't super obvious, I would say from their interface, and then it will allow you to continue. I'm going to use this as this is to create your title, snippet, thumbnail image is going to show, cropping continue. You can use whatever field you want on this and I think, yeah, maybe it's going to force me to pick one. I guess, I would choose web design and probably, web development, seems [inaudible] , done, publish. Then, we're going to have a project that we can share. You can send it to people and put it on your LinkedIn profile. Definitely, please, please, hit me up on Twitter or LinkedIn and send me your portfolio entry, I would love to see it. You have got a really nice-looking portfolio entry here with an interactive video here. Again, it looks a little crummy, that's just because I just uploaded it to YouTube and it's still processing. This is a great way to show people, not just tell them about your new-found coding skills.
