Victor Platoon Final Projects

The Veteran and military spouse members of Victor Platoon recently completed their Coding Bootcamp and presented their final coding projects during graduation. These final projects showcase the software engineering skills of the Veterans and military spouses who graduated from the 15-week Full-stack Software Engineering: Immersive program. Check out their web applications below.

Sacred Scrolls 

Developed by an Air Force Spouse, two Army Veterans, and a Marine Corps Reservist, Sacred Scrolls reflects the team’s desire to create connections through diverse religious perspectives. The app helps users compare verses from different religious texts. Users can save favorite verses, create journal entries, and search for keywords across the Bible, Quran, and Bhagavad Gita. 

The Bible and Quran verses come from a third-party API, while the Bhagavad Gita is pulled from a GitHub repository, adapted using a Python script, and added to the team’s PostgreSQL database. Check out their presentation.

Dino Stocks

Dino Stocks blends education and entertainment by teaching children the basics of stock trading with a dinosaur theme. Users can buy and sell dino stocks, manage portfolios, and track hourly changes in their dino stock shares.

The Dino Stocks team–two Air Force Servicemembers, a Navy Servicemember, and an Air Force Veteran–used React JavaScript library on the front end and a Python-based Django Framework on the back end. They also used Celery to update the dino stock prices and users’ portfolios stored in the PostgreSQL database every hour from a third-party API.

CragMentor

CragMentor guides rock climbers to new heights. The app’s algorithm generates a personalized training “pyramid” based on the user’s climbing goals. The pyramid uses a weighted score system to suggest increasingly difficult training climbs in the user’s area until the user reaches their goal. All these climbs appear on a Places API-powered map in CragMentor.

Developed by a Navy Veteran, an active duty Marine Corpsman, two Army Veterans, and an active duty Soldier, CragMentor utilizes Bootstrap React UI, React Icons, and an AWS EC2 instance for deployment.

Poke Clone

Poke Clone users can relive classic Pokemon adventures created with React and Django by an Army Veteran, active duty Soldier, and active duty Airman. 

Players can battle and capture wild Pokemon with attacks determined by a random number generator. After battles, the app saves levels, experience, skills, and health to the PostgreSQL database, storing every user’s Pokemon data. Transport yourself back to the era of Pokemon Red and Blue with the Poke Clone presentation.
