Your own project

Build an app of your choice.

• You are free to use any technologies covered so far. You are welcome to try new technologies you find interesting.
• Keep it simple. Aim to get the basic functionality working on day one. You can then extend it on days two and three.
• Feel free to use an external API to provide additional functionality to your app. Avoid APIs that use complex authentication mechanisms.
• Use pen and paper to draw a diagram of the webpage layout before starting to code. Have a think about what components you will need in advance.
• Think about how to organise your data in advance
• Make sure your app is responsive
• Commit frequently
• Create pull request at the end
• Keep it simple
