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.

Hosting your prototype on the web

Your prototype should be hosted on some web server, and should be accessible by a URL you provide. Here are some options for uploading your Mid-Fi on the web:
