Work Plan

General

• Don't need to follow every single point.
• I personally believe it gives a good overview of how the frontend and backend are structured.

Frontend

Use PHP and progressively move onto more robust languages for building the website.

Maybe look into JavaScript (can also be used for backend) later.

Backend

Learn MySQL (since this seems to go along with PHP well). Later on, look into how one could build database using python.

We are using a website called Heroku as our deployment platform. However, the database is not persistent ==> if one closes the website, all the data will be gone. It looks like there is a way to make the data persist but not too sure what this "persistency" issue is.

• Suggestion heard: change to PostgreSQL or use third-party platforms such as "firebase" or "Google cloud"
