Learning Platforms

There are a number of platforms that we can/will use in our mobile & web application.
  • Atom code editor - Is a text editor that also serves as a developers collaboration tool as it  allows you to edit code with other team members in real-time.
  • MySQL Database Management - Relational database management system that can be used to edit, add or remove information in a database. Websites that use MySQL accessed data from the database which is then displayed on a (dynamic) webpage. 
  • The Heroku platform - A cloud platform used in building apps from design to finish.
  • Node.JS - Able to build scalable network applications. Node is based on Javascript. 
  • The Bootstrap framework - Makes building responsive websites easier by enabling users to use already-existing pre-built components e.g. responsive grid systems.
  • SASS - Extension language for CSS.
  • WordPress CMS - Software used to design and publish websites.
  • Apache CORDOVA - Helps to build mobile apps.

This specific bootstrap template was similar to my mockup design and therefore by editing the code this template could look similar to what I had designed and invisioned.
