The Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Center for Open Source (RCOS) is a program designed to give students the opportunity to create their own open source software, giving them experience that will improve their skills as programmers, while allowing them to solve problems and build useful applications.
About the Client Database Project
This goal of this project is to develop a database for a food pantry. This database will allow the food pantry to safely store visitor information and generate reports for the local food bank about the number of households served throughout the month.
The project will consist of two stages. In stage one, a prototype of the database will be developed using sqlite for the database, sqlalchemy to create queries, and tkinter to develop a user-interface. In stage two, the sqlite database will be swapped out for a PostgreSQL database, and a web-interface will be designed.
The repository for this project can be viewed here.
