Because of the fact that my entire capstone experience at Worcester State will be helping develop software for LibreFoodPantry, it seemed only right for me to review the website and try to discover things that will be helpful for me this semester. I first visited https://librefoodpantry.org/#/ and read over the main page as well as the smaller tabs such as About, Licensing, and What’s new. A section that I found interesting was on the main page when I learned that this whole project we are working on is generally new and should be changing a lot as we go along. It is quoted saying, “currently we have built prototypes of specific features for specific clients, but as of yet no software has been deployed for a client. This means we are in the very early phases of development and much about our software, processes, and tools are in flux. Please be prepared for change.” Nothing has been deployed yet and everyone is relatively new to the idea we are trying to create. This could be frustrating in the future if we get stuck or if we have to change things on the fly. However, it could also be exciting because we could be the first to get it to work properly and successfully! I am extremely excited for this semester and this capstone, and working on a project for LibreFoodPantry is the perfect process for teaching me what I may be needing to do in the real world after college.
