Final project technical guidance #329

Closed oliverjam closed 3 years ago

oliverjam commented 3 years ago

If we're merging the Student Project and TFB project into a single "Final Project" we should provide more technical guidance at the start.

There are lots of things that are impossible to do in the previous 2 day projects, and this is their one chance to practice "real world" stuff on a larger project.

Things we want to encourage:

  1. Dev env setup (Prettier, ESLint, precommit hooks etc)
  2. Solid devops (staging/test/prod envs #328, CI running tests)
  3. Practice with technologies they already tried (rather than using a bunch of new stuff—this may be controversial)

This would probably be covered in the new Week 9 suggested in https://github.com/foundersandcoders/coursebook/issues/288#issuecomment-746578159

Also potentially being more explicit about building a frontend first with dummy data, then a backend after. Or at least, the advantages and disadvantages. FAC19 all built backends first. We caught FAC20 and so they did frontend first, but weren't quite sure why.

Thanks Jack, definitely good to bear in mind. We'll track this in the Week 9 issue
