Project 1 Rough Guidance

So the project is designed to suit your sense of excellence and what you bring to the table.

That said it's nice to have a set of micro-deliverables that can make you feel like you're on the right time schedule and making progress.

So here are a series of mastery skills that you should self-assess as you progress:

• You can host a website using static files on a CDN.
• You can display data read from a database dynamically.
• You can write data to a database (and have other users see it).
• You can manage client-side "routing", "deep-linking", and display different screens based on the user's choices.
• You can design your database (or API services) to give you what you need on the screen you need it.
• Given an array of JSON objects display them each in a template and let a user interact with any particular object.
• You can setup OAuth and passwords with email resets for your users.
• You can allow users to register for a tournament by visiting a unique link for each tourney.
• Users can create new tourneys and others can visit the display page for that tourney (dynamically generated URLs)

For each of these mastery tasks I'd suggest building mock-ups/prototypes that hello world the mastery skill. Probably doing around two per week of classes.

If you keep that pace you should be done with a baby DIY Tourney site by October 16th.

If you'd like to show me proof of these mastery tasks in the meantime I'd happily take a look and give feedback via Discord DMs.
