Abstract
The goal of this project is to implement and deploy a mobile application for Valparaiso University Greek Life organizations. Several frameworks were considered for the project, including Xamarin, React Native, and Ionic. Ultimately, Ionic was chosen for its similarity to previous programming languages such as Ruby on Rails. The application is built on the Ionic platform using a combination of implemented HTML and Javascript, alongside an extension to Firebase services and Google calendar API. The Google calendar API has been implemented to allow only Valparaiso University emails to view personal and Greek Life’s public calendars. Other features include a message board alert system, event notifications, and application tabs for ease of navigation through the applications menus. A major request, and basis for the project was for an ease of use and convenient localization for Greek Life related document, which have been organized into a table sorted by category. By inclusion of the former mentioned functions, the consumer’s requests are met.
