In my final semester of university, I am taking the Software Development capstone course, where we will work directly with Thea’s food pantry, creating and deploying a system that allows the pantry to keep track of how much food there is, who is getting it, etc. I thought that would be it. However, after looking at LibreFoodPantry, I was surprised by how much they actually worked with not just food security, but with software and technology as well. I thought we were just helping because we can, but this is actually something that has a focus in software and software development, which allows for some real world experience.
After going through the gitlab of Thea’s Pantry, it looks very similar to what I worked with last semester in my software architecture course, but with some added repos and documentation. The thing I liked about this was the amount of documentation there was. I like this because it allows me to refer back to something while I am working to make sure I am doing exactly what needs to be done and how it should be done. Other than that, it was very similar to what I did in class last semester. Hopefully, with the documentation and teams, we will be able to get things done.
