Description

🏕 Priority Mandatory 🐋 Size X-Large 📅 Sprint 2 Core Module-Decomposition Submit:PR

Write and Deploy Chat Application Frontend and Backend

Link to the coursework

https://sdc.codeyourfuture.io/decomposition/sprints/2/prep/

You must complete and deploy a chat application. You have two weeks to complete this.

It must support at least the following requirements:

  • As a user, I can send add a message to the chat.
  • As a user, when I open the chat I see the messages that have been sent by any user.
  • As a user, when someone sends a message, it gets added to what I see.

It must also support at least one additional feature.

Why are we doing this?

Learning about deploying multiple pieces of software that interact.

Designing and implementing working software that users can use.

Exploring and understanding different ways of sending information between a client and server.
