What do we do?
Here's useful information for your DP5 and onward, especially regarding technical implementation of your prototype. We covered most of these points in class.
- Everyone in your team should make UI-level contributions.
- No dedicated server / DB / backend coder in the team.
- Scope: web-based GUI for desktop / mobile.
- No server, no native app, no custom database. Firebase is allowed.
- If you absolutely need custom server-side, talk to us.
- Git is a requirement: GitHub, BitBucket, etc.
- Code won’t be graded directly, but we will look for equal contributions.
- Peer evaluation at the end of semester on DP.
