Inspiration
The rapid increase in cost of living for students resulting from the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic.
What it does
This website has users create accounts (if not already made) where they are able to manage their monthly budgets and transcripts.
How we built it
After a planning phase, involving written lists and diagrams, we started by making a rough html outline and fleshed out all the components of the program using a blend of CSS, JavaScript, and Python in order to realize the plans we had written down.
Challenges we ran into
All members of our group were first time, freshman attendees so we were very unsure of what to expect going in. Additionally, all of knew very little, if not nothing, about web development and programming languages that are involved. As such, we lost a lot of time teaching ourselves the basics of html, CSS, and JavaScript.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are extremely proud of being able to have made a website with just about 24 hours of experience in the field, as well as being able to get along well and work efficiently with people we had just met.
What we learned
We all learned a lot about html, CSS, JavaScript, Django database frameworks, as well as their applications into web development. Also, we learned how to better accommodate to our team members' skills to bring out the best in our work that we could.
What's next for Aggie Money
Aggie Money is very much in a simplistic, beginner phase. With more knowledge and experience in the web development area, we hope to be able to further implement the functionalities that are present while also advancing it with newer additions (this includes greater UI design as well).
