Monday Section: Standup, Plan Demo, Work in Teams

As announced on Slack:

• Retro and Sprint Planning pushed forward one week
• MVP Demo still on for Thursday

Today:

• Standup
• Planning your Demo
• Use rest of time as team sees fit

Planning your demo

• Plan a five minute presentation
• You may do it live, or you may prepare a 5 minute “unlisted” YouTube video
  • I’ll make a YouTube video explaining how to make a video via Zoom and then upload it to YouTube, and then make it available to those with the link.
  • Links to videos may be made available to the class, but will not be made public
• Present to an audience of potential users
  • Not to an audience of CS48 students, or the instructor or TAs.
  • Explain what problem the app solves, or what need it fulfills, as you demo the features of the app.
• Stay focused on user functionality.
  • Do not go into details of implementation, or team process.
  • There will be other presentations for that.
• Optionally, you may introduce with a powerpoint slide, and/or close with one, but the bulk of the time, you should be sharing your screen and showing us your app.
• At the end, tell us a bit about upcoming features planned for the next iteration.
• There may be questions from instructor

You’ll be asked to evaluate each presentation, so plan to watch each one and be ready to do some very brief writing after each one.

Other Announcements

Two videos about the project-idea-reviewer-nextjs app announced on Slack channel:

• This video explains a bit about front-end/back-end and the authenticatedAction function: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MEW1trB1eQ

• This video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpgmGwFzU34 explains a bit about getServerSideProps which is a special NextJS feature added on to React, and how it can be used to:

  • redirect the user to the login page if they are not logged in and need to be to access a certain page.
  • redirect the user to the home page if they don’t have the proper role for a page they are trying to access.

  This is mainly useful when you have different user roles in your app (e.g. admin vs. regular users) or if/when you want to restrict certain features to, e.g., only users with @ucsb.edu email addresses.

If you have other questions about NextJS, React, MongoDB, etc. that you’d like us to make videos about, let us know.
