Inspiration
After escaping our gated community (prison) the night before the competition and arriving early the day of, we not able to check-in due to the building being at "maximum capacity". Since we pre-registered for the event weeks in advance and drove hours the night before, this experience inspired us to create a website for next year's HackCU. We then migrated to the nearest Starbucks and worked for the next 6 hours until doors opened again at 6 pm.
What it does
This website allows users to register for the 2021 HackCU competition and ensures that those who register are guaranteed a spot at HackCU, because it decrements the number of available registration spots each time a competitor registers. It then populates a database with the user's name, email, etc.. The website also notifies the user that registration is a first come, first serve basis.
How we built it
- This project was built completely using command line text editors and geeks for geeks
Challenges we ran into
- Using Starbucks' wifi for 6 hours
- doman.com's customer service (our domain still hasn't propagated)
Accomplishments that we're proud of
- making a sql statement that runs
- removing 100% of the vulnerabilities associated with Windows XP.
What we learned
- Arrive to HackCU 2 hours earlier next year.
- mysql and php
What's next for HackCU2021
- hackcu2022.org
