Earlier this week, I design five more web pages for my team’s animal adoption application. I am pretty satisfied with the basic layout for the web pages. Albeit, they could look more aesthetic but I think that is something my team can take care of as we code the user interface for the web application. I am particularly happy with the Home page, Sign In page, and Landing page designs.

I also decided to follow a video tutorial on using the MERN(MongoDB, Express, React, and Node.js) stack to implement my team’s web application. Following and understanding the tutorial was complicated at times. I think implementing interactions with a MongoDB database seems harder than interactions with a MySQL database. However, that may just be attributed to me being inexperienced with MongoDB. Now, I have a basic idea of how to build a Node.js/Express back-end server that communicates with a MongoDB database. Next, I hope to learn to implement React for my team’s project.
