Ionic application

Ionic application

😎So I am very excited, honestly I haven't been this excited about a project in a while. The corporate industry truly sucks the fun out of things, but anyway I am actually very much looking forward to this project.

Project background

This project I started it two years ago when I was doing my first year. It initially started as a university project and we were in a group. My main idea behind the project I wanted to do something that will truly be helpful or at least something that is used in real life situations hence I proposed to my team that we approach the CPUT HIV/AIDS Unit and see if we can create an application for them. Fortunately, they were in need of a mobile application that will help them to register and manage volunteer peer educators, set up events for the unit and many more features. I proposed the project again to a different group that I worked with in my second year but no one truly dedicated to it. I basically worked on the development alone until it was 80% done then they snuck in to try and "work" with me. Long story short they also ditched the project.

Project progress and Stack to be used

Three reasons as to why I am very excited about this project. One, I am working on a project that I truly love and I honestly want to see it through. Two, I will be using a cross-platform framework that I haven't used. I'm looking forward to the learning curve and I will be using stacks that I haven't exposed myself to, such as Angular, CSS, JavaScripts hosting(since I will also create a content management system (CMS) which is simply just a single page). Lastly, I actually want to work on it alone so that I can manage everything myself

So far I have this hideous native application that I have already created on Android Studio. The concept will remain the same however, I will have quite a few changes that I will apply. I have the project specification in place and designed the wireframes for me to reference.

What do I want to achieve

I want to see this project through because I truly believe in it. I started it and I intend on finishing it. That's it!!

What I wish for this project

I'm doing this project for free and I'll be working on it during my spare time and mostly during weekends. Bear in mind that I am a full-time student, working as a part-time intern and I have a company that my friend and I have started. I just wish I would truly make a difference to its end users. Hopefully, I will get some recognition and appreciation from that Institution😎

What am I going to learn

Based on the project and what I want to implement, I think I will learn the following, of which this is what makes it even more interesting for me.

1. Ionic Framework(I'm killing four birds with one stone here, learning Angular, CSS, JS and RESTful APIs)
2. Learning how to host a website
3. Create a single page website (this will be done in Angular)
4. Hosting
5. Writing tests for the application
