My main aim was to create an application that can be used within a workplace as a way to keep track of all tasks that need to be completed by a specific team or group of people. It allows the users to add and delete tasks, categorise them, mark them as complete, and add a due date and urgency setting.

• As a user, I want to be able to add new tasks to the database, edit them, categorise them, add a date due and urgency properties to the individual tasks, as well as have the ability to delete them once they are done.
• As a user, I want to be able to log on and off the site after I have registered, in order to be able to add, delete and categorise tasks.
• As a user, I want to be able to see all tasks that are present in the database.
• As a user, I want to be able to search the database for certain tasks.
• As a user, I want the site navigation to be easy to use and intuitive.
• As a user, I want the tasks to be displayed in a clear and organised way.
• As a site owner, I want the information on the site to be presented in a clear and easy to use way encouraging more users /workplaces to register on the site.

• HTML - used to create the site structure.
• CSS - used to create the styling throughout the site.
• JavaScript - used for various funcionalities including the bottons and sign up.
• jQuery - used to activate the Materialize functionality.
• Python - used to write the logic that operates the site.
• Flask - used to manage the HTML more efficiently through the use of templates.
• Font-Awesome - icons were taken from this site.
• Materialize - used for responsive grid design.
• Heroku - used for hosting website.
• MongoDB - used for database functionality.
• Git - version control and recording of all changes to site during development process.
• Chrome Developer - used to test responsiveness of site throughout the developmnent process.

• Chrome Developer Tools were used to test responsiveness of varous screen sizes.
• All links were tested to ensure they worked.
• NavBar was tested to ensure it worked.
• All CRUD functions were tested to ensure they worked.
• Used W3C Validator and W3C Validator CSS to ensure that HTML and CSS code was valid.
• Site and database was tested using Google Chrome web browser.
• further testing needs to be carried out including user testing to insure full functionality of the site.

The site is hosted on Heroku.

Deployment of the site was achieved by following the steps below (outlined in the CI Mini Project - Task Manager):

• Created a new repository within GitHub.
• Opened repository in my IDE of choice - Visual Studio Code - by cloning the repo from GitHub.
• Created a requirements.txt file by typing "pip3 freeze --local > requirements.txt" in the terminal which tells Heroku what dependencies are required.
• Created a Procfile for Heroku by typing "echo web: python app.py > Procfile" in the terminal.
• Checked the Procfile to make sure there is no extra line after the first line as this can confuse Heroku.
• Push the requirements.txt and Procfile to GitHub.
• Logged in to Heroku and selected "Create New App".
• Selected the input field "App Name" and gave app a unique name using dashes instead of spaces.
• Selected the region closest to my location and which was free to use!
• Clicked "Create App".
• Selected "Deploy" from the Heroku App menu.
• Selected "GitHub" from the "Deployment Method" section of the page.
• Ensured my GitHub profile name was showing in the "Connect to GitHub" section and inserted my GitHub repo name in the input field and clicked "Search".
• Once Heroku had found my repo, I clicked "Connect" to complete the link.
• Selected "Settings" from the Heroku App menu.
• Selected "Reveal Config Vars" and inputed the relevant key/value information from the my env.py (IP, PORT, MONGO_URI, MONGO_DBNAME, SECRET_KEY) file making sure that there were not quotation marks used.
• Selected "Deploy" from the Heroku App menu.
• Scrolled down the page and selected "Enable Automatic Deployment".
• Selected Master Branch under "Branch Selected".
• Clicked "Deploy Branch" - crossed my fingers and waited!
• Once site was deployed, clicked "View" to launch the app and be able to view it within the browser.

• This project was created by following the tutorial for the mini project - Task Manager - within the web development course form Code Institute.

Thank you to the following people:

• I would like to thank the Code Institute for giving me the skills, knowledge and resources to be able to carry out this project.
