Development Process

At the start of the project, I reviewed the requirements documentation (in full detail) and developed a game plan accordingly.

Game Plan

1. Planning

• Wireframes
• User Stories

2. Development(Stage1)

• Basic User Interface Design (React and CSS)
• Create UI components (Map, Sidebar)

3. Development(Stage 2)

• Connect UI components with Google Maps and FourSquare API
• Display data on UI from third party API's (Map, Pins, Information window)

4. Development(Stage 3)

• Build Backend API using Express and MongoDB
• Create RESTful routes (Get, Post, Patch, Delete)
• Test API using curl scripts

5. Development(Stage 4)

• Create components on UI to show, add, update, and delete data
• Implement Final User Interface Design (CSS)

6. Deployment

• Deploy a functional single page application that meets requirements.

My problem-solving strategy was to solve one problem and move on to the next one. Foresee problems during my planning process and plan my game plan accordingly. I used all available resources, including the internet (StackOverflow, Google, MDN, etc), other developers and instructors during my development process.

Future Updates

• Update User Interface with CSS and Material UI
• Implement star rating system, work on User Experience
• Save venues to "want to go" and "been there" list.
