This repository contains all of the necessary steps to kickstart the CSCE-361 (Software Engineering) final project given at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and is divided into three distinct sections. I recommend completing the sections in the following order:
- Database
- API
- Frontend
as the API depends on the database, and the frontend depends on the API.
This project is based off of the online store final project option, and if you complete all three sections, you should have a project that looks similar to the following:
The database and API sections have two different explanations each; the first for users who want to exclusively work in a Windows-only environment and the second for Mac and Linux users or for Windows users who do not want to exclusively work in a Windows-only environment. It is separated this way because many of the tools that we will be using (SQL Server, C#, .NET, etc.) are Microsoft products and work very well on the Windows OS.
If you are unsure of which path to pick, the following graph depicts a 2023 survey of the percentage of people that work (not exclusively) in various IDEs:
I try to be as in depth as I can be when explaining each section, but will ultimatly be unable to describe every little nuance. If you're unsure on a section, please reach out to the TAs and we can try to help you understand it.
If there are any issues with any of the sections, please feel free to open a new issue and describe the problem you are having.
It takes approximately 1 to 2 hours to complete all three sections (given that you have all of the necessary tools already installed).
