Projeto e desenvolvimento de uma aplicação WEB para a promoção do reuso de livros didáticos universitários

Abstract

It is common in the college student’s life the accumulation of textbooks. Many of these books end up under utilized and standing on books helves. In this context, the main tools used by students to share textbooks online are limited. These limitations were identified in a form applied to 75 college students. In order to foster the practice of sharing textbooks among UFRPE students, a specific system was developed for this purpose. This paper describes the design and implementation of this application. It deals with a single page application that is fed through a REST API. Thus, the developed API may beconsumed by other software in the future. We used the Angular and Grails frameworks, as well as the Postgre SQL DBMS for data persistence. To evaluate the application was conducted a second form. It was answered by 33 people.The participants used application’s features and indicated their degree of satisfaction. The application got a positive rating. The system has, 30 days after its deployment in the cloud, 140 registered users and 39 books in its collection.
