Python has become the most popular language for machine learning right now since almost all machine learning tools provide service for this language, and it is really to use since it has many build-in objects like Hashtable. In C, you need to implement everything by yourself.
C++ is one of the most popular programming languages in graphics. It has many fancy libraries like eigen to help us process matrix. I have many previous projects about graphics based on C++ and this time, we also need to deal with graphics since we need to analyze movements of the human body. C++ has much more advantages than Java. C++ uses only compiler, whereas Java uses compiler and interpreter in both. C++ supports both operator overloading and method overloading whereas Java only supports method overloading. C++ supports manual object management with the help of new and delete keywords whereas Java has built-in automatic garbage collection.
Go is a way faster than both Python and PHP, which is pretty understandable, but we were amazed at how good we adapted to use it. Go was a blessing for a team , since strict typing is making it very easy to develop and control everything inside team, so the quality was really good. We made huge leap forward in dev speed because of it.
- Client-Side: \
The form of our product is a web app because we would also provide a dashboard for displaying data and for some further purpose including data filtering and comparison. Hence, we would definitely use
HTML5
for structuring the web,CSS3
for styling the web, andJavaScript
for building the front-end logic. As for frameworks, we would useReact
because it is component-based that can keep our front-end code clean and organized. The virtual DOM ofReact
also provides better efficiency in time when rendering the page. Furthermore,React
has a greater number of users thanVue
andAngular
, thus have active communities for problem-spotting and problem-solving. We would also incorporateBootstrap
into our web app to provide an aesthetic user interface and thus to improve the user experience. The fact thatBoostrap
supports responsive site would also ease our workload if future adaptation for mobiles is needed.
