13 Project Design

Class 13 - Server Side & Project Design Workday

There will be two things for you to work on today:

  1. Work through the Server Side Setup Lab.
    • We are switching to a new tech stack here for two reasons:
      1. Running things on the server is something that is not immediately provided for free on many cloud services, including github pages and cloudflare. Because of this, we are going to bundle the work and libraries via the use of docker containers, which would make it more likely for us to be able to use a cloud service for less money, as we would be able to specify the exact versions of many of the software that we would want to run on different machines
      2. While VSCode has some support for docker, I feel that WebStorm's capabilities as a full featured PHP and Javascript editor work much better for our use case.
  2. Once you finish the Server Side Setup, and you can show this to me, then work on your Final Project design.
