About this project

What you'll build: Create a basic web chat room where users can type in a username, send messages, and see messages from others in real time. It's a fun way to explore how apps like group chats work behind the scenes!

Why it's a good starter: This project is beginner-friendly, with clear steps and a small, focused goal. You'll use popular free tools and only need basic programming knowledge. By the end, you'll have a working, interactive website to show off.

What you'll learn: You'll practice HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for the front end, get a gentle intro to Node.js for the back end, and use Socket.io for real-time messaging. You'll also learn how to test your work and present your finished app.

Milestones
1. 1. Setup & Plan
10 marks 5d
Submit a short plan (1-2 paragraphs) describing your chat room idea, sketch the page layout, and show that your development environment (Node.js, code editor) is ready. Evidence: screenshot of setup and plan document.
2. 2. Core Build: Basic Chat Functionality
35 marks 10d
Submit working code where a user can choose a username and send chat messages that appear for all. Evidence: code files and a screenshot of your chat in action with 2 browsers/users.
3. 3. Core Build: Usernames and Message Display
30 marks 10d
Show messages with usernames and improve the display (e.g., style messages, auto-scroll chat). Evidence: code update and screenshot showing messages with usernames.

Present a 2-minute video demo or slides, showing your chat room and explaining what you built, plus a brief (200-word) reflection on what you learned.
