From the start of the season until around the end of February, Hassan and I had been
working on the robot's drivetrain code together. Then, as Sayf started working on
a website to automate scouting for FRC, I decided to join in on that. Since, we did not have
a set due date or needed it to be completed for a certain competition this year, I had time
to properly start learning about web development. So, Sayf decided it was best to just have
me learn about the tools he was planning to use for building that website, which, as of right
now, is to be called "RavenScout".
The tools being:
- Flask, a micro web framework written in Python
- Python for back-end
- HTML5, a bit of JavaScript, and a bit of CSS3 all for front-end
On top of just learning the different tools he wanted me to use for the website, it also required for me to learn about databases and other programming concepts. A lot of this information was found in the guide he sent, which you can find here: The Flask Mega-Tutorial. However, I included a few concepts/chunks of code not found in this guide. As well as, some diagrams I made for databases and more.
I found this assignment challenging and very useful towards my software engineering career. It allowed me to explore different areas of software development that opened my eyes to new opportunities and technologies.
