Cryptocurrency tracker web app

For the Cognizant-Platform by Per Scholas Java Developer class

For now, my goal is to create a prototype with dummy data but I aim to use the API when the data and website function together up to standard.

To run on a localhost: Install Spring 4 with the Spring 3 add-on into Eclipse EE. Place 'ojdbc7.jar' and 'json-simple-1.1.1.jar' into the '/WebContent/WEB-INF/lib' folder. Install TomCat, create a server and run.

Dummy Data: Bitcoin information collected from the API using the CryptoCollector/script.py file, and the python package made by lagerfeuer.

TODO / Production path:

  1. Wireframe pages
  2. Create database and schema
  3. Implement DAO methods AND pages:
    • User coin registration/deletion
    • User Coin List display
    • Coin information display
    • Coin information register as user coin (if logged in)
    • Contact pages
    • User/Admin pages
    • Admin - account CRUD
    • Users - Modify data
  4. Charts on Coin information display
  5. (Ongoing) Source control on GitHub/Update user stories on Jira
  6. Deployment

Things I would have done differently/Refactorable items:

  • Database Access Objects: Refactor them into Models/BeanDAOs instead of CRUD-based DAOS
  • Refine the implementation of MVC and have the Controllers simple, business logic done in the beans, and the views with less code.
  • Table list/Graph in a more user friendly format
  • Figure out why home page (coin list) takes so long to generate
