By now, our team is deep into the development process of our Crowd-Sourced Travel Planner app. While we\u2019re all handling different aspects of the project, the tools and technologies we\u2019ve chosen are shaping how smoothly things come together. This blog is about a few of the technologies I\u2019ve been using for my development and how they\u2019ve impacted my workflow so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without a doubt, my favorite technology has been Visual Studio Code (VS Code). It’s lightweight, fast, and customizable, which makes coding feel a lot less like a chore and more like a creative process. The extensions available, especially for Python and JavaScript, have been incredibly helpful. Features like IntelliSense and the integrated terminal streamline my workflow, allowing me to write, test, and debug code all in one place. I haven\u2019t had to rely on too many other tools for my part of the project yet, but VS Code has been a constant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>We\u2019ve been using Trello for task management, and while I didn\u2019t find it difficult to learn, it\u2019s not as intuitive as I would like. Compared to tools like Monday.com, Trello feels a bit clunky in terms of UI and ease of use. That said, I really appreciate having a centralized task management board where the whole team can see what\u2019s in progress, what\u2019s done, and what\u2019s up next. It\u2019s been helpful in keeping everyone on the same page and ensuring tasks don\u2019t fall through the cracks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m really looking forward to our next sprint when we start integrating our individual components. That\u2019s when we\u2019ll see the first \u2018alpha\u2019 version of our app come to life. It\u2019s one thing to work on isolated pieces, but seeing how everything fits together will be exciting\u2014and probably a little nerve-wracking!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
