CODE CONNECT

Various questions can occur to a student on a day to day basis. These doubts can be solved by someone who has already faced these issues. Code Connect provides easy and more accessible opportunities for all the computer department students to interact with each other. It helps students to interact and learn something new amid the crisis.

Introduction

Code Connect is a web application, made for students by students. With its easy to use interface, interaction with other students is just a click away. Built on open source software’s, Code Connect provides a fast and effortless path for upgradeability.

Objective

Code Connect expects to provide a common platform for students to interact online for institutional needs.

Students who are new to programming can discuss with seniors who have faced issues with the same.

Scope

  • The scope of the project is the computer department.
  • Users can create and customize their profiles according to their needs.
  • Adding a programming skillset makes it easier for others to notice and correlate.
  • Actions such as like, dislike, comment, and follow are open for all.
  • Administrator specific actions like announcements are also accessible for specific individuals.
  • Show your code from the open-source repositories with your GitHub username.

Feasibility Analysis

Code Connect is completely built on open source, which means it is completely free to use and easy to modify.

In terms of technical feasibility, this project would run on a web server when in production. So, users would be able to access it through any browser which has a JavaScript Engine and a data plan.

To make the project operational for larger institutions, it would require a more efficient server for faster transfer of data.

Architecture

To create, build, or maintain the project an efficient environment is required. This project requires Node.js and its submodules along with external downloadable packages. The frontend is made with React by Facebook and an extensive backend API with Express. It includes authorization and authentication with the help of stateless JWT. Redux is used for state management and the data is stored in a NoSQL database, MongoDB.
