CHAPTER 5
Determining the App’s Functionality and Structure
Now that we know we’re building a web app and have our tools at the ready, we can start really planning the app’s functionality.. In this chapter, you will:
- Define what the app does
- Determine how users will interact with it (and what will differ based on a user’s role)
- Come up with a plan for the site’s back-end code and database
- Figure out a structure for the front end
- Create a simple wireframe for the app
By the end of this chapter, you should have a very clear idea of how the app will be built; this should eliminate wasted development hours and help keep the app on track.
