In addition,it gives students an opportunity to develop proficiency with the technology of their choicewhich will hopefully instill a sense of pride and accomplishment... wait...

Project Description

For this project teams of 3-4 students will design and implement a webstore using modern web frameworks. This will require the development of a Representational state transfer(REST) Application Programming Interface (API), a constant integration, constant development (CICD) pipeline, and a persistence layer. The website should be deployed to a Platform as a Service (PaaS) such as Herokuor Google App Engine.
