Brian :python: :flask: :html5:

I think I dug a hole for myself in the class again.

I offered groups a chance to build what they wanted using any skills/tools we've used so far this year.

One group was to build a chat app (websockets), so they need a server.

Two other groups want to make, essentially, CRUD apps, so I need to write up some DB schemas for them.

I'm wondering if it'd be better to teach them some Node and they write up their _own_ server-side code.

We have an internal-only VPS that I can put anything on for students to work against, it's just finding time to be able to get those resources in place.

@brianb Why not sqlite instead?

@adamsdesk it's more the backend in general. Part of the project is they define their own data structures, but they've only done client-side code so far. I think I'm going to make a generic flask app that anyone can read/write against to make this a little easier on myself.

@brianb Oh okay, well in either case sounds like fun for them.

@adamsdesk yeah, they're all super into it. I'm just a little behind getting them resources is all.
