full stack web app to fill the gap between University administration and the Students

Oops-Project-Using-Flask 🚀

The Oops project was a full-stack web application created by Bouzid Kobchi and Abdellah Bacheraire from December 2022 to March 2023.

Technologies Used

• Backend:

  • Python 🐍
  • Flask 🌐
  • SQLite 🗄️

• Frontend:

  • HTML 🌐
  • Native CSS 🎨
  • Vanilla JavaScript 📜

Overview

The project provided a significant learning experience for both creators. They explored advanced technologies such as JWT, APIs, and real-time interactive UI/UX. Abdellah even dedicated time to understanding APIs, blocking out exams to delve deeper into this topic.

Team Composition

Initially, the team consisted of five members:

• Bouzid Kobchi: Backend developer 👨‍💻
• Abdellah Bacheraire: Frontend developer 👨‍💻
• Abdeljalil Saf: Frontend developer (less experienced than Abdellah) 👨‍💻
• Saif Eddine Boubekri: General frontend familiarity 👨‍💻
• Imad Guessoum: UI/UX designer 🎨

Challenges Faced

Despite the team's accomplishments, they encountered challenges and made some less-than-ideal decisions:

• Lack of understanding led to inefficient practices, such as injecting JWT tokens into cookies instead of sending them to clients.
• Limited familiarity with version control resulted in mistakes, like committing sensitive information.
• Abdellah's unmodular code led to a large main.js file.
• Manual setup for API testing was cumbersome.
• Poor repository organization, including storing different versions in the same repository.

Lessons Learned

The Oops project taught valuable lessons:

• Despite having a strong business model, deployment was hindered by financial and stability concerns.
• Integration errors, like a 400 bad request when posting images, halted progress.
• Early exposure to advanced topics like client-side caching and camera usage expanded their horizons.

Current Status

Both creators have since evolved:

• Abdellah now works with React, Tailwind CSS, and other advanced stacks.
• Bouzid transitioned to C# and .NET with ASP.NET Core, gaining expertise in relational databases, authentication, authorization, networking, and version control systems.

Conclusion

The Oops project was a significant learning experience, paving the way for personal and professional growth. While it faced challenges, it ultimately contributed to the creators' journey towards mastering their craft.
