Week 4!

It has been week 4 already. We are about halfway done with the term. All of the courses are getting more complicated. Also, my team and I are starting to work on the web. The react and the firebase are new to me so I have to watch a lot of youtube videos to get familiar with these new tools. After learning about the firebase and the react. I felt it makes the actual coding easier. Especially, the firebase is simpler than writing a SQL database. Once you made an account on firebase, you can make a project which contains the path of the database. You just need to copy the path into your file and write feel lines of code. Then your project will be able to connect with the firebase.
My experience of the react was also good. Instead of writing a CSS code to modify each div. There are a lot of built-in functions to form the website. It needs fewer codes to do the same amount of work. Besides, you can include an entire div by name it to a word. Thus, you do not have to write a big amount of code. All of these tools make code easier for people.
My group has three team members. Each of us is responsible for one web page. We will be finishing the web pages in two weeks. The first week will be coding. We will do the code review in the second week to make the website better. This is the plan for these two weeks.
