You will use Java 11 to implement the term project. This course prerequisites provided you with the fundamentals of object-oriented programming. If you need to refresh your knowledge of Java, these resources will help. If your prerequisite course did not use Java as the object-oriented language, it will be your responsibility to learn the language early on in the course so that you will be able to contribute to your project team's implementation work. The consistency of java platform across teams and team members is a constraint placed on your based on "the customer's" non-functional requirements.

Help us expand on the meaningful list of resources. If there is something particularly good out there you feel is important to share, bring it to our instructors attention so others can benefit.
The term project is not a very large project, and your team is relatively small. Even so, one of your challenges will be managing the team and project. The project requires your team to use some online tools to assist with, though not be a silver bullet solution for, these challenges.
Slack is a tool, and should not be used as the silver bullet of team communication. Here are some guidelines and best practices.
Your team will be required to manage the project code and other artifacts using the Git version control system. Students who took CSCI-142 as their prerequisite course have some experience using Git in that course. You will host your repository (repo) on GitHub and make use of its issue tracking and pull request review mechanism. These are resources for information on using these tools.
A large percentage of your project work time will be doing code development and debugging. If you become very familiar with the development tools that you will use, it will save you a lot of time and make you much more productive.
