This week we got our group assignments for the project that we will be working on over the course of the term. My group will be working on the Job Tracker project.
This project involves building an application where a user can track jobs that they have applied to. I think this application is useful, especially for computer science majors, in that many of us have applied to a tremendous amount of jobs/internships. For me personally, I applied to over 200 internships last year. A website that allows for tracking of applications would have been a useful tool in that process. There were a few times were I would fill out an application, only to to discover that I already applied to the position.
Our group is planing to use React, Express and Node.js. We have not finalized the database portion but will most likely use some sort of relational database. I haven’t used these technologies/frameworks in about a year so I will definitely need to brush up on details. My was internship this past summer was mainly back end work using Java and Spring Boot.
Outside of school, a few of my favorite sports teams are ramping up. I am a fan of Boston sports, with hockey being my favorite sport. The Bruins are about to start and the baseball team, the Red Sox, are currently in the playoffs.
That’s all for now, thanks for reading!
