TacoCat: A Coding Project
Taco Cat is a palindrome. A palindrome is a word, phrase, or sequence that reads the same backward as forward. Write a program that checks if the phrase entered is a palindrome. The program should ignore spaces, punctuation, and capitalization. The program should also be able to handle multiple words and return true if the phrase is a palindrome and false if it is not. The program should also be able to handle special characters and numbers. The program should be able to handle both uppercase and lowercase letters.

Project Overview
Taco Cat is a web-based coding project designed by Chris Herzig. The project showcases various web development skills, including HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, and JavaScript. The main feature of Taco Cat is a palindrome checker, which allows users to input a phrase and determine if it reads the same backward as forward. The project emphasizes fundamental JavaScript concepts such as loops, functions, DOM manipulation, and boolean logic. The website is styled using Bootstrap for a responsive layout and includes a navigation bar with links to different sections of the project, including the app, code, and an external GitHub repository. The project also highlights Chris Herzig's proficiency in creating interactive and visually appealing web applications.
The Challenge
The primary challenge of the Taco Cat project was to create an interactive web application that checks if a given phrase is a palindrome. This required implementing a user-friendly interface and ensuring that the palindrome checker functioned correctly. Additionally, integrating various web technologies such as HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, and JavaScript posed a challenge in terms of maintaining a cohesive and responsive design.
The Approach & Solution
To tackle this challenge, I started by designing a clean and intuitive user interface using HTML and Bootstrap. The navigation bar was created to provide easy access to different sections of the project, including the app, code, and an external GitHub repository. The core functionality of the palindrome checker was implemented using JavaScript, focusing on fundamental concepts such as loops, functions, and DOM manipulation. I ensured that the application was responsive and visually appealing by leveraging Bootstrap's grid system and custom CSS.

The Results
The result of the Taco Cat project is a fully functional and interactive web application that allows users to check if a phrase is a palindrome. The application features a responsive design, a clear and concise user interface, and seamless navigation. The inclusion of a link to the GitHub repository in the navigation bar allows users to easily access the project's source code and contribute to its development. Overall, the project successfully demonstrates my proficiency in web development and my ability to create engaging and functional web applications.
