Inspiration

This was our class project for my software engineering class at SF State

How it works

A traditional LAMP stack deployed on amazon web services

Challenges I ran into

As the team lead on this project the biggest challenge was to keep everyone engaged at a level suitable to their abilities. We also encountered difficulty integrating the vertical prototype with the horizontal prototype. This is a process that should have happened much earlier in the development cycle.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Our project was a standout among the many other projects that were submitted, because of design choices we made early on. Our functional specs focused on providing moderated content and a back end UI for screening user submitted content. I was very happy with the performance of our team.

What I learned

This experience broadened my understanding of what it takes to build a web application from start to finish, and introduced important new concepts such as multi-browser support, usability testing, peer code review, and SCRUM.

What's next for Extra!

As this was a demo project no further development or maintenance is planned.
