I am very new to API and cloud hosting.I want to know the flow how can i complete this hackathon.
The idea that I have till now is -
- Make app on local machine
- host on alibaba cloud
- register on codechef API
- test the app using user data using codechef API.
is this the correct way to do?
@pooja24527,
Following are the changes I am suggesting in the steps you’ve mentioned:
- Read thoroughly about “How to start” documentation given on this page: https://developers.codechef.com/
- Create a test app, and start testing CodeChef APIs using console that is provided.
- Once you’ve tested the APIs and have come up with an idea, you can start building app on your local machine using whichever web language and/or framework you like.
- At the same time you can apply for getting Alibaba cloud resource from the email that was sent to you on behalf of codechef after registering on the contest.
- Start an Alibaba elastic compute cloud instance, do security settings and add you code.You can also point it to a domain of you choice. You can read more about it using these links:
