Sprint 1 Week 2 - Code-the-Dream-School/React-Node-Practicum GitHub Wiki
At you second week Sprint 1 full-stack meeting:
- Make a final decision on your app (if you haven’t already)
- Decide what part of the app each team member would like to focus on:
- Front end: more design and styling OR more functional component building
- Back end: database OR API (you will still have to do both, but you can do more of one or the other)
- Testing
- Map out features from the front end to the API to the database model to understand the flow of data across front and back end
- Talk about how JWT and authorization works (is it realistic to add to your app?)
- Update/create the readme.md in the repo of the categories to talk about:
- Name
- Description
- Demo (screenshots)
- Technology Used
- API Routes
- Database Schema
- Setup Instructions
- …
At your weekly meetings, you’ll review the backlog (your “To-Do” column) and decide what needs to be worked on next.
- Team members will assign themselves to tickets and that will be their project work for the week.
- When a ticket is complete, move it to “Done,” resolve any merge conflicts, and make a pull request (more on that next week).
Outside of your meeting, each team member will need to clone the project repo which will pull down the repo to their local machine and set up their local development environment. Follow the Setting up for this Git Workflow section in the CTD Git Workflow for Closed Source Applications guide
If needed, review the guide on Configuring Your Machine for Node Development
