Problems a Newbie Developer Can Face While Creating a Big Project
For newbie programmers, creating a big real life can be problematic. Because they are newbies. They have no experience of handling this complex process of finishing a project in time.
Like others, I have faced some problems in handling a complex project. I joined a bootcamp a few months ago and at the end of the bootcamp I have been assigned to complete a project named air-cnc, a travel booking site.
I have stated some problems I faced below.
1. Size of the project
For Beginners, Building a project having a map, fancy, complex UI, payment, and complex API usage makes it really difficult for a beginner or a group of beginners. Those who cannot design that much good (like me), will face a lot of problems. Also, you have to keep track of retrieving data from the complex UI, such as you may have different types of guests, you have to record each type of guests separately. Maps are also used in this project. You have to retrieve data from the map too. You have to search places from maps. These works makes the app very much complex. For beginners, it can be very tough. It is a learning process though. Tough projects will make tough developers.
2. Paid things
There are paid things are used to build this app. Maps are paid things. Maps can be used for development purposes for a limited time or for a limited number of API calls. After limited time or number of calls, a black screen appears on the map. So, you have to pay regularly, to use the map service forever.
3. Deadline
For this huge project, we have been given only three days to submit the project. As it is a learning process, the instructor gave us a lot of flexibility. He told us to finish the project. He wanted to see how we can handle this project. I was the project manager, and I have a frontend developer with me to finish this work. I also gave him the flexibility of finishing the project as much as he can. But in real life it is going to be huge problem if this size of project will be given this short time. As newbies, it is going to be very tough to finish this type of project 100% in a short time.
