Moot

Abstract

1. Introduction

This is the home of Moot, a CFP and event management system. To learn more, please see the slides for the launch announcement.

TODO double-check that other commands work good in this context

I'll (Chris) be doing the heavy lifting but I'd like this application to be an opportunity for people to kick around a real Haskell application. To that end, I'm offering tutoring to folks interested in helping out. Don't be afraid to help out in one capacity (e.g. UI/UX) while asking for tutoring in another.

2. Objective

Moot is a CFP and event management system!

This project demonstrates how Haskell can be applied to a real-world Full Stack Web Development problem.

4. Technology Stack

5. System Requirements

General requirements for this technology stack — check the README for exact versions.

• See the project README for exact requirements
• Git (to clone the repository)

6. Installation & Setup

git clone https://github.com/lorepub/moot.git
cd moot

1. If you haven't already, install Stack
2. On POSIX systems, this is usually curl -sSL https://get.haskellstack.org/ | sh
3. Install the yesod command line tool: stack install yesod-bin --install-ghc
4. Build libraries: stack build

make deps

Full setup instructions are in the project README.

7. Future Enhancements

Suggested extensions you can add to make this your own project.

• Add role-based access control
• Deploy on a VPS or cPanel hosting with a custom domain
• Add automated tests and a CI pipeline

8. Viva / Review Questions

Common questions examiners ask for projects in this domain.

1. Explain the frontend, backend and database layers of this application.
2. How is user authentication and authorisation implemented?
3. Describe the main database tables / collections and their relationships.
4. Which REST APIs or routes are exposed and what do they return?
5. How would you deploy this application to production?
