**Project Name: Truth About Tuition (TAT) **Description:
***Problem it solves: Students should understand the reality and truth about college debt at a young age (beginning in highschool when selecting colleges and potential majors.
***How it solves: Users will be able to use this application to assess which school they go to, the tuitio cost, and the projected amount of debt they will incur. Many extensions will also be possible with more time.
***Technical Challenge: I would like an API with up to date tuition costs for schools. Finding an API for that may prove challenging. There will as be some simple arithmetic involved and depending if I would like to store data into specific schemas with various relationships will be an interesting challenge as well.
***Defintion of Done:
- Fully tested application
- UI/UX is easy, simple and informative
- Incorporates a backend with user data and ability to store school selections to later compare
- Have the ability to compare various colleges
- Analytics about tuition cost and the projection dependent on salaries and how aggressively a student pays off
***MVP:
- User can create an account and select various schools and view tuition rates.
**Inspiration for my landing page and design layout: H.BLOOM *** Bloom has some neet feartures that I would like to ideally incorporate into my design. Altough it's a bit busy for a landing page I would I can appreciate the focal point for further things down the page being brought to attention by the arrowed pitcture design. Impact *** Probaly my favorite lading page because it's very simple right off the bat. Nothing to click through on the headers. Large picture without the business or intimidation of having too many options at the start.
**I will definitely try and incorporate:
- Neat CSS Transitions and Animations
- Advanced workflow by using some squashing commits
****Requirements:
- The requirement is that you use a custom-built API for a GET, POST, PUT/PATCH and DELETE requests through the UI.
