Okay, there doesn’t seem to be much hiccup in the team. That was certainly a relief and we got to complete the team standards document without much hassle. However, I am unsure how will the project play out over the course of this term because things can happen at any moment’s notice each week like unforeseen Jury Duty, family problems, or whatsoever. Even if there are issues, I will only blog about light things.
Thus, going forward, I am going to talk about what I have learned and coordinated on my group project.
Excellent, so I am currently working in a group project involving web development! However, I find it quite amusing that we have 4 people in the group instead of the alleged 3 but whatever. The thing that I am in concern with right now is time – do I have the time to fully commit to the work or do I have to postpone other core responsibilities?
Let’s review what is needed after my group’s meeting.
Database – We are going to stick with the Firebase platform by Google! Firebase is a NoSQL database where we can simply perform CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) through simpler operations without any need of the SQL syntax beside their concept. That is, to get data, just have the keyword “get.” To delete data, just ensure delete is in the code somewhere to perform the query.

Okay, what is the big deal?
The big deal is this database is free at the basic level and is relatively simple to use. Without getting further into the nitty gritty, this is a modern database like MongoDB (Another NoSQL database) but with a lot of the power from Google Services like user authentication, which is one of the stories that we want to implement into our project. Essentially, we have a lot of the huge work that we want to implement abstracted away so we could all focus on the vital aspects of the project that is only possible AFTER the user has signed up and logged in!
Anyways, that is the current progress right now so until the next post where I can discuss other new developments arising from this project or new observations happening during this time like job offers.
