Objective:
Our Client, who is affiliated with a prominent university, sought to modernize its library management system to enhance the learning experience for students and streamline administrative tasks for teachers. The objective was to create a platform where students could access materials, take notes, purchase courses, and receive evaluations from teachers, all while prioritizing mobile accessibility and offline functionality.
Challenge:
The primary challenge was to develop a robust library management system that could function seamlessly on mobile devices, even in offline mode. Additionally, ensuring scalability to handle high loads and providing dynamic routing for different user roles posed significant technical hurdles.
Solution:
Our solution was to develop a Progressive Web Application (PWA) using React with Typescript for the front-end and Go with microservices for the backend. By opting for a PWA, we ensured that the application could work offline, leveraging service workers and other PWA features.
Mobile-first design principles were applied to ensure optimal viewing and usability on various mobile devices. Dynamic routing was implemented to tailor the user experience based on roles, allowing for personalized interactions for students and teachers.
The project involved a team comprising one Team Lead, two frontend developers, two backend developers, and one DevOps specialist. The development process focused on building the solution from scratch, with a strong emphasis on delivering a user-friendly and efficient system.
Technologies:
We’ve used the latest technologies and libraries as:
Frontend:
- React with Typescript
Backend:
- Go with microservices
- PWA features for offline functionality
- Dynamic routing for role-based access
- HTTP/2 for optimized performance
- Scalable architecture for handling high loads
Results:
Despite facing challenges such as slow internet connections and PDF rendering issues on mobile devices, our team successfully delivered an MVP of the library management system. By leveraging modern technologies and best practices, we created a scalable, mobile-friendly platform that revolutionized the way students accessed educational materials and interacted with teachers. The system's offline capabilities ensured uninterrupted learning experiences, while dynamic routing provided tailored interactions for users based on their roles.
By partnering with us, our Client achieved its objective of modernizing its library management system, paving the way for enhanced learning experiences and streamlined administrative processes. Our team's expertise in front-end development, coupled with our use of cutting-edge technologies, resulted in a successful project that exceeded the client's expectations. Moving forward, the institute can continue to build upon this foundation to further innovate and meet the evolving needs of its educational community.
