Delta Evening and Weekend Platoon Final Projects

On April 15, 21 Veteran, Active Duty, and military spouse students graduated from Code Platoon’s Full-stack Software Engineering Bootcamp: Evening and Weekend program. During the 28-week Coding Bootcamp, these students put their new software development skills to the test and created some awesome web applications. 

As part of their graduation ceremony, the Delta Evening & Weekend Platoon got to showcase their projects. Here are their tech demonstrations:

Our first group is Book Club. Book Club is a full-stack web application to help people discover new books and connect with a community of bookworms and casual readers. The tech stack for Book Club includes Python code with Django and the Django Rest framework on the back end and JavaScript and JSX code with CSS and Bootstrap for styling on the front end. The Book Club app is containerized via Docker and hosted live on AWS.

A Navy Spouse, two Navy Veterans, and an Air Force Veteran developed Book Club. Check out their final project below.

Next up is Journey, a hiking web application. The team behind Journey is an Army Veteran, a Navy Veteran, an Air Force Veteran, and an Army National Guard Veteran. 

Journey is a hiking app with a responsive, mobile-first design. Journey users can document their hiking trails and discover information about US National Parks ahead of their visits.

The team behind Journey built this app with React, HTML, and CSS on the front end and back-end infrastructure of Python on Django. They used the National Parks API to provide park names, information, and videos, and Github, Docker, and AWS to deploy Journey on the web.

Here is the Journey presentation.

MedNOW is the third project in this showcase. MedNOW was created using multiple API calls, including the National Institute of Health (NIH) API RxTerms, the NIH Drug Interaction API, and the openFDA API. The full-stack web application was designed with Ant Design and Bootstrap. It features React JavaScript library on the front end and Django Rest framework with Python on the back end.

MedNOW tracks the user’s medication intake and sends reminders to refill before running out. It also shows essential medication safety information, including drug interactions and potential side effects.

A Marine Corps Veteran, Army Veteran, Air Force Veteran, and Marine Corps military spouse created MedNOW. Watch their demonstration below.

Moose Travel is a travel itinerary and management app developed by two Army Veterans, an active duty Army National Guard Soldier, and an Army spouse. 

The app generates detailed travel itineraries via the ChatGPT API. The traveler inputs their destination preferences, flight, hotel, and rental car information, and the AI Personal Assistant generates an itinerary for every day of the trip.

The Moose Travel team used JavaScript through React on the front end, Python and Django on the back end, and Postman to verify the API endpoints for OpenAI, Amadeus, Avis Budget Group, and Google Maps APIs. Moose Travel has also been Dockerized and deployed through an AWS ec2 instance.

The final project developed by Delta E&W Platoon graduates is Bar Path Program. This full-stack application helps personal trainers and gym coaches manage their clients’ workout plans and track their progress. 

Bar Path Program uses Bootstrap, JavaScript, and React on the front end and Python through Django on the back end. The team collaborated on the project via Github and Trello and deployed it via Docker, AWS ECS, and AWS S3.

Watch the Bar Path Program presentation by two Army Veterans, two Marine Corps Veterans, and an Army military spouse.

Congratulations to the Delta Evening and Weekend Platoon graduates! We’re proud of the cohort’s accomplishments on display during the graduation ceremony.
