Implementation Languages:
Our team decided to use full-stack JavaScript for our project. We mainly chose this as:
We would only need to use one programming language throughout our app, allowing us to work efficiently and consistently
Many online resources are available for it, so the few members of our team who were unfamiliar with JavaScript would be able to learn it quickly
JavaScript is the best language for web apps like ours
Backend - NodeJS, ExpressJS
NodeJS: an open-source, cross-platform runtime environment for JavaScript built on Google’s V8 engine
We chose to use NodeJS as it is very simple to use, easy to learn, and provides great performance
Since NodeJS is open-source and cross-platform, everyone in the team could develop the app regardless of the operating system they used (Windows, Mac)
By using NodeJS, we can also use NPM (node package manager), which allows us to install numerous libraries to use in our code to help in development. ExpressJS is an example of one of these libraries which is installed using NPM
ExpressJS: a backend web application framework thats used to design and build web apps quickly and easily
We decided to use ExpressJS as it allows us to create RESTful routes easily. This is particularily useful as we will be developing our own API as part of the project, which we will need to create custom routes for
ExpressJS also supports JSON, which we plan on using for our API to return results
Frontend - ReactJS
