Decided on tech stack and architecture

Having written out my desired features, it was time to plan the tech. I wrote out the schema for my database tables, and sketched how users would flow through the experience.

BJJ Tracker is a web app, hosted on a AWS Linux server, running Apache, PHP, and MySql. I used Initializr to generate a bootstrap template to get my front-end started. One goal of this project was to build a web app framework that I could use to quickly get future projects running. This code would include user registration and login services, as well as other back-end concerns, on top of a front-end. I’ve cleaned most of this code into a generic repo on GitHub.
