Project Diary

Tasks completed :
This project was carried out by a team of three. To complete it successfully, we had to apply the skills acquired throughout other courses, as well as consult various documentation and external resources. In order to achieve a coherent result, we conducted a brainstorming session and planned a Gantt chart to distribute the tasks effectively, as shown below

Tools used :
Google, Google Drive, Google Slide, Google Docs, Visual Studio Code, Python, Django, Nginx, Guinicorn, Excel

Challenges encountered :
We encountered several issues, particularly with coding certain features. For example, enabling the import of a list of files in .csv format proved to be challenging. In addition, implementing the order management system was a real technical hurdle. As for the deployment phase, the main difficulty lay in configuring permissions for access to static files via Nginx.
