In order to develop the sneaker app, it was imperative to establish connectivity with the MariaDB database via an SSH tunnel. Once this connection was established, we proceeded to craft queries utilizing MySQL and completed the backend logic using Java. Eclipse served as our chosen framework for development, while MySQL Workbench facilitated database management.
My project collaborator demonstrated exceptional dedication and contributed significantly to our joint efforts. Working with Java proved to be particularly advantageous due to its versatility, allowing for the attainment of desired functionality through various approaches. I found paired programming to be highly beneficial, as the collaborative nature ensured thoroughness in our coding endeavors by leveraging the collective insight of two minds.
We had about 3 weeks to finsih this project. Took about 1 week to finish setting everything up including an ssh tunnel so that we could connect to the database without running into a firewall. Then the last 2 weeks working on queries and tightening everything up.
