Introduction
The sixth iteration of the day class session of the Tuitt Coding Bootcamp just recently completed their first capstone project. Usually, the first capstone project is the easy project to be completed out of the three capstone projects. But still, it will require time and effort of the campers not just to comply with the requirements but to be able to create something that they will be proud of.
Minimum Requirements and Specifications
The bootcamp instructors created a reference for the minimum requirements and specifications for this project that the campers should be able to meet. This reference serves as the basis of the skills set acquired by the campers in front-end development, and the rating they will have out of the project they have made.
For front-end web development of the capstone projects, the following main aspects were rated accordingly:
Content
Content is the clarity of message and purpose, the absence of incomplete pages, and organization of ideas and information.
Design
Design is the intuitiveness and user-friendliness of the interface, clever synergies of visual elements, decent color harmonies, and efficient use of space.
Source Code Quality
Source code quality is about the maintainability of the codebase, limiting the length and complexity of the code units, keeping the codebase small, having appropriate comments, having no unnecessary white spaces and new lines, having file and folder organization, and having proper format for folders and filenames.
Mobile-First and Responsive Web Design
Mobile-First Design
Mobile-first design is a web design methodology that creates an emphasis on the usability of the website or web app for a mobile device as if it was a desktop version.
Responsive Web Design
Responsive-web design is another web design methodology that focuses on the responsiveness of the website or web app to the device screen sizes and orientation.
