DevClub Summer of Code 2023

DevClub IIT Delhi is organising DevClub Summer of Code 2023, so students can learn development together in the summers! You can choose from any of the 4 tracks App, Backend, Frontend, Machine Learning.

For each track, there will be a 4-week long project on a common theme, divided into weekly guided assignments, where we will be providing resources so you can learn, build and showcase!

We will be giving attractive rewards to those who participate enthusiastically, and also recruiting members to join the DevClub Team!

  • Tracks
    • App Development
      • Week 1: Learn Flutter and build a UI using Stateful and Stateless Widgets
      • Week 2: Dive deeper into Flutter's Widgets by building ProductTile, Promoted product banners and implementing forms. Make the app dynamic and interactive!
      • Week 3: Communicate with server resources and manage product data using HTTP methods. Enhancing our app's capabilities for seamless product management and smooth data handling
      • Week 4: Implement Firebase user authentication, integrate cloud storage for image handling and explore Stripe for seamless payments
    • Backend Development
      • Week 1: Learn how a backend works by analysing a real-world website, and then make your own backend, using raw Python & SQL and use it to create a simple URL shortener
      • Week 2: Setup a Django backend server, and learn database models, rendering templates, user authentication and forms. Bonus: make it production-ready!
      • Week 3: Convert your Django backend into a REST API, and learn about function based views, JWT authentication and documentation with Postman. Bonus: make it enterprise-grade!
      • Week 4: Deploy your Django project on Microsoft Azure cloud platform, and learn about virtual machines, domain names and HTTPS.
    • Frontend Development
      • Week 1: Learn how websites work using DevTools, and then learn how to build a simple static website using HTML and CSS, taking designs from Figma and host it on GitHub Pages
      • Week 2: Use Javascript to create a repository network analyzer consuming the GitHub API, and use Bootstrap to make our previous webpage responsive!
      • Week 3: Learn ReactJS, and make your website better using JSX components and State management. Bonus: improve the code quality too!
      • Week 4: Design pages to render, create, and update products. Fetch this data from a public API and understand the interface using API specs. Learn about status codes, state management, error handling, and much more!
    • Machine Learning
      • Week 1: Set up an ML environment to run your code on GPUs, then select and build a price prediction model, and also scrape your own dataset for it from the web.
      • Week 2: Use YOLO to identify and describe items to be sold from the pictures, and fine-tune your Object Detection model using your own dataset
      • Week 3: Develop a model that automatically detects, aligns, and enhances images uploaded by sellers in an online marketplace, using techniques such as image recognition, rotation, and image enhancement

Aim

We aim to help students get started with learning coding and software development. The concepts for each track are divided into weeks pedagogically so you can learn step-by-step.

No matter if you're a beginner or an expert, at each stage, you will be learning something new, and building something useful in real world. You will also be equipped with the skills and tools which would meet most tech requirements, and the final projects in each track will be good enough to be put in your portfolio or CV.

We are keeping the repository open to everyone from around the world, so everyone can use it to learn and share their ideas in the forks.

Theme and Project

This year's theme is... e-commerce!

Buying and selling of good has been key to the advent of civilization, it is an ever-growing and ever-evolving field, both utilizing and driving latest innovations and technologies.

Platforms today have made buying new items quick and as simple as a click, but what do we do with all the old stuff?

The projects in each track will revolve around this theme, and we are planning to build a platform where students can buy and sell items to each other.
