In-class notes for 05/11/2020

CS 284 (MCA), Spring 2020

If your team wants a meeting today during class, send a chat on the MCA class meeting hangout any time throughout today's class period (even after recording is done)

  • Syllabus modified for optional final exam

  • Project technologies

    • Database connection passwords (added to Lab 5)and virtual machine for backend servers discussed last time

      • Port assignments for each team and each student - may be used on any Link machine or CS-managed machine

      • Port number for Node backend server may be changed in bin/www code

    • Cloning a repository (including its commit and branch history) from your github repo to your team stogit repo

    • Solved issue of passing multiple parameters in an HTTP request (such as POST) - Ask me on Piazza if interested

    • More secure login authentication, by Charlie Carlson, in the examples repo.

      • I haven't run it myself, but Charlie and I talked about security issues, and the security design is a significant improvement over simple plaintext passwords stored in database.

      • It would be an extra feature to use improved security in a login page. (Plaintext passwords in database would be okay for this special term.)

  • Project requirements and submission instructions
