This project is the capstone project of Stephen Whittaker and Joanne Basa as part of the Manchester Codes' Software Engineer Fast-Track course September 2019 cohort.
Stephen had a vision: he wanted a way to check (like mathematically check) the 'most pizza for your money'. In keeping up with the technologies we learned in this course, we have decided that we can use all the technologies we have learned, and more:
| Frontend | Backend | Other Methodologies |
|---|---|---|
| HTML5 | Node.js | TDD |
| CSS3 + Sass | Express | Wireframing |
| React.js | Heroku | Github |
We also employed modern responsive and user experience design concepts, as well as doing daily 'standups' and kept a Trello board to monitor progress and continuously assess priorities and respond to problems in a timely manner.
See Pizzarithmetic in action:
- deployed using Firebase: https://pizzarithmetic.web.app/
- deployed using Vercel: https://pizza-maths.now.sh
They are both Progressive Web Apps, feel free to save it on your phone (you're welcome 😄 )
Using the app is very intuitive-- just fill in the name, diameter/size (in cm or in) and the price of the pizza. It computes for the area (in sq. in or sq. cm) and the area to crust (size) ratio.
- Pre-requisites: npm, node, Github || optional: hunger
- Open Terminal, clone Git repository:
git clone git@github.com:spwhittaker/pizza-maths.git - Go into the folder:
cd pizza-maths - Install node dependencies
npm i - Fire away!
npm start
This app is a work in progress. And future plans with this application include:
- more API integrations
- a React Native app version
- the ability to save favourites, login, etc.
