Project Overview

The client I work for wanted a wiki to quickly search for and find useful tech info or notes on issues that the department has come across. I took this as an opportunity to combine some features of my asset management software into a web application and plan to add a chat as well to help aid the IT department in providing exceptional response time to issues that arise through the district.

I used React for the front end as it provides a great framework for setting up and seperating the apps. It allows me to write clean code and only provide the portions of the system that are needed. Django was used for the back end becasuse it seamlessly allows integration into most database software but also provides SQLite as a free and lightweight tool for smaller districts who want to keep cost down.

Challenges

With any project, comes challenges. Mostly for this project it was ensuring that the front and backend worked well together while keeping code clean to allow easy modification. This will allow IT departments with little programming knowledge to customize the application to their needs if they see fit. Django REST framework makes this easy with Serializers. This allows for an easy way to conduct CRUD operations with the React frontend.
