C3Projects--bEtsy

[b]Etsy will be an online store where a wide variety of products can be listed and sold by any user. In this project we will focus on reinforcing the major components of Rails, Model Validation, as well as introducing some more complex logic such as user authentication.

In this project you will cover

• Core comprehension of:
  • Routes
  • Controllers
  • Models
  • Views
• User based application logic
• User authentication
• Agile practices
• Group project ownership

Guidelines

• Groups of four will collaborate in pairs or individually
• Use a task manager like Trello to track your team's efforts
• Build a logical user-flow that moves across multiple controllers and models
• Use HTML/CSS to style your website.

Restrictions

• Do not use gems for user authentication (such as Devise)
• Do not use Rails scaffold generator (All other Rails generators are fine)

Getting Started

1. As a group decide on an app name (this may help lead the aesthetic)
2. As a group decide on a team name (this will amuse me)
3. Create a branch on the master repo with your team name
4. Have one person on your team fork/clone the project master as per usual.
5. Figure out your workflow for the project, re: Git and Task management

Expectations

Build an online system for listing, selling, reviewing, and buying a wide variety of products listed by multiple merchants.

• Password Confirmation must match Password

Product

• Name must be present

• Quantity must be greater than 0

Review

• Rating must be present
• Rating must be an integer
• Rating must be between 1 and 5

Submission Guidelines

Your final project must be deployed to Heroku. Your team will open a single pull request for the entire project. Include the link to your Heroku deployment in the PR's description.

Your README file on your Github repo should contain a link to your live site.

Team Leaders

Each team will have team leaders who are responsible for keeping track of each team member's contributions. Rotate leader roles at the beginning of every week; every team member should be in at least one leader role during the project.

• Stand Up Leader
  • Takes notes about each person's daily report in Stand Up
  • Keeps the meeting moving
• Task Leader
  • Leads discussion on task assignment
    • Decide if a task should be completed alone or in a pair
    • Assign tasks based on...
      • Individual comfort
      • Desire
      • Ability
  • Ensures the task list stays up to date

At the end of each day, the team leaders will prepare a report containing the Stand Up notes for that day and the last of Tasks completed or started that day. Email that report to your team's Project Manager.

Weekly Demos

In a real world work environment, a team's success is measured by their product as opposed to each individual's contribution.

Each team will present their progress and respond to questions from their Project Manager each Friday. Every team member will participate in these demos; the PM will ask specific questions regarding 1) the team's progress and plan for completing the project, 2) the technical decisions and implementation, and 3) every team member's understanding of the underlying technical structures.
