Beginner Shopping App

Inspiration

I received inspiration from the Hackathon itself. As a freshman pursuing the major of computer science, I was able to learn more about the subject and learn to code and start a project for myself. That led to me starting a simple project to learn something from.

What it does

The app is a shopping app based on buying teacups. There is a login interface where the user can register and log in with their credentials to gain access to the items. Then, the users can add the item of their choice and the final cart will display the total value of the items in the cart.

How I built it

I built it using code.org with JavaScript. Since it was my first initial project, I utilized code.org to design the visual interface and use its database as well.

Challenges I ran into

The challenge I faced was to make sure that the user was able to log in with the credentials they registered with. This involved accessing the database and iterating through different entries to see what matched.

Accomplishments that I am proud of

I’m proud of my app being close to completion within 2 days and almost bug-free.

What I learned

I learned a lot from attempting a project on my own. I was able to understand more about loops and iterations.

What's next for Beginner Shopping App

I don’t think there will be additional developments to this project, but I’ll take everything I learned within the 2 days and apply it in my future projects to help myself get better.
