We are looking for students who might be interested in working on a software development project and receiving CSC494 course credit. Students will gain experience working on open source web application projects, and will learn real world software development practices as well as learning some new technology.
Students must be available for weekly in-person group meetings, and must have the prerequisites to take CSC494 (have taken at least 3 300- or 400-level courses).
We are looking for approximately 3-4 students for each of the following projects:

Because TAPP:CP is a new application, there are still many features that need to be added and we continue to refine the development process. Students working on TAPP will become intimately familiar with the React model and benefits and challenges of how it manages data.
