CSC 221 Weekly Assignments: Week 16

CSC 221


Overview

Happy last week before break! We'll spend this week building our first full-stack application: we'll extend our two-way chat app to use the Django ORM for persistence and curses for presentation.

Wednesday, December 18th

Classwork

Work in your pairs today on our full-stack chat application. Chris will be out today, so you'll be in Jeff's room. Here are some pointers:

  • I think the Django part is easier than the Curses part (and is more relevant to what we'll be doing the rest of the year), so I recommend starting with that
  • In case you're still getting the chat part working, see The starter code here and A write-up of this assignment here
  • For the Django part, see the instructions and starter code in last Thursday's class.
  • For the curses part, here's the starter code. You'll definitely want to spend some time getting familiar with it - the user input part is tricky!

And here is our pairing for this project

  • Isaac and Owen
  • Kidus and Tai-Yu
  • Korben and Keamlak
  • Adam H and Gabriel
  • Clara and Jackson
  • Madi and Yara
  • Adam A, Roey, and Daniel will work on a three-way chat
