# CSCI-33-Final
Final Project for CSCI-33 Spring 2020
## File Breakdown:
| File Name | What it does |
| ------------- |:-------------:|
| about.html | Landing page for user's that are not signed in. |
| error.html | Landing page for any failed operations. Displays variable error message. |
| following.html | Displays the schools a user is following. |
| inbox.html | Displays the different chat boxes (sent & inbox). |
| index.html | Displays available programs for each school if a user is logged in. |
| layout.html | Sets the basic format for all other pages. Every page extends this page. |
| login.html | Allows returning users to login. |
| profile.html | Displays info about a paticular school. (I could have added more details here but I wanted to focus on features) |
| program.html | Displays info about a paticular program. Again could be extended easily with more details like cost, students, etc. |
| register.html | Allows user to register, select if they are part of a paticular program, and if they are a mentor. |
| success.html | Generic page for displaying a success message following a successful database update. |
| userprofile.html | Displays info about a user. Has a shortcut to the messages section. Allows for adding/removing mentors/mentees. |
| inbox.js | Does most of the logic/rendering of info for the Messages/Chat feature. |
| admin.py | Declares models so the admin can manually alter them via the Admin portal. |
| models.py | Sets up the User, Program, School, and Message Classes. |
| urls.py | Creates the different URL paths for this application. |
| views.py | Handles most of the logic for the application: renders pages, updates the databse, etc.|
There was no other meaningful work done in any other file.
## Outcomes
__In a sentence (or list of features), define a GOOD outcome for your final project. I.e., what WILL you accomplish no matter what?__
- [x] Ability for mentors/students to sign up
- [x] Breakdown of all the different schools for students
- [x] Chat feature for students/mentors (Using JavaScript)
- [x] Profile for mentors
- ~~Main public feed that shows successful mentored students~~
- (Switched to have the main feed be newly added programs)
__In a sentence (or list of features), define a BETTER outcome for your final project. I.e., what do you THINK you can accomplish before the final project's deadline?__
- ~~Calendar integration so mentors and students can set up times to talk~~
- Upon further investiagtion, the "Date Input" html attribute is not universally supported by browsers (like Safari) so I decided to remove this feature.
- [ ] Better CSS to make the site more friendly and modern (this is a weak point for me as I am not very good at designing User Interfaces)
__In a paragraph or more, outline your next steps. What new skills will you need to acquire? What topics will you need to research?__
I plan to start things off simply. I want to get the User Signup for Students and mentors set. Then I will create the ability for mentors to add Schools and subsequent programs at those schools. These will be visible to students.
After that, I will add the mentor profiles which will allow me to set up a review process for the mentors so that after the student's connect, they can review said mentor. Once the profile is setup, I will then allow the student to actually contact a mentor for a particular school/program. This is when I will integrate the text based chat for the student/mentor.
The "relationship" between the student and mentor will have three states: in progress, ended-bad, and ended-good. Ended-good state relationships will show up on the main public feed that is visible without signing in along with a required student testimonial.
I think the biggest thing I will need to focus on is the user interfaces. I am not very good at (and truthfully not very passionate about) making the interfaces all pretty and refined so I am going to have to push myself to make it so this App does not look bland and boring.
