For the most part this capstone has been fairly enlightening. I’ve been learning a bit more about TypeScript and React Native. Both, I feel, are great technologies to know and understand, but I would say I was most excited to utilize TypeScript. I never really got into using JavaScript – something I feel I should still master in the future – but my brother, who is also in software, told me that it was what he was using at his internship. Seeing as my team was developing a webapp I thought it was perfect that we decided to utilize TypeScript for our project. React Native is still something I am getting used to, however, though it’s not insanely difficult I wouldn’t say.
I’m not sure that I would change anything that we’ve been doing so far. If anything, I feel like we made the right calls in utilizing the technologies that we did. I think if we weren’t developing a web app maybe it would have been more up my alley to have a project that could utilize C++ – the language that I have spent the most time with – but I feel like working on the web app front to back with a group will be better for me in the long run.
