The Flatiron Final Countdown
The goal of this post is to introduce a series of posts that will center around the design and development of my Phase-5 Project, the capstone for the Flatiron School Software Engineering Bootcamp.
This project tests student in the abilities to create a full-stack, single page application, that utilizes a React fronted and Rails backend.
There are other criteria, such as integrating data management with Redux or useContext, as well as the inclusion of a skill from outside the curriculum. Yet, the value is the option for a full creative scope in the development of an idea from concept to production.
The specific quantity of posts in this series will be dependent on the progress and hurdles that I experience while creating the application, but a few you can expect are:a
- Planning the Design and Creating the Proposal
- Setting up Roles and Permissions for Users
- Creating the Main User Experience
- Adding a User Chatroom Feature
- User Testing and Feedback for Final Product Feature Refinement
After the implementation of all elements in a given phase, I will publish a post. For example, the first post will come after the project approval. In addition, I will also try to include other media such as videos or images.
This final project is a great chance to catalog my application development experience, as well as share insights gained through the process of creating the application from scratch, while exploring new content.
