Fall 2019 Software Projects

These projects were developed by Georgia Gwinnett College students during the ITEC 3870 Software Development 2 course sections taught by Dr. Cengiz Gunay and Dr. Anca Doloc-Mihu in the Fall 2019 semester. Each project was commissioned and supervised by a GGC professor or an external client who provided the idea, requirements, and direction throughout the semester. Final products were demonstrated and tested by other students and faculty at the GGC CREATE symposium on Nov 21th, 2019. Click on titles to see their demo sites.

Grizzly Parking App - Check live which lot is best for you!

Developed by Parking Pirates: Daniel Toal, Raghu Khanal, Nick Risley, Joshua Walton, Mark Levengood

Directed by client, Current GGC student Jared Houseman and alumnus Jacob Bradberry

Grizzly Parking is an app that helps people find a parking spot on GGC Campus. The app allows users to log in and create their own accounts. Each account can view the lots via color indicators showing which lots are more available. When the user parks it will update the system and the color indicator in their respective lot. User Authentication, Forgot Password and the Parking Lots were all integrated through Google’s Firebase Platform. This mobile app was originally written in an Ionic Framework, but we decided to abandon that codebase and rewrite it in React Native. This ended up being a good choice for us even though some experienced errors throughout the semester.
