Skill-based System

This is a proof-of-concept web application demonstrating a skill-based system for better employee engagement in a software organization. This project is a part of my dissertation awarding Master of Science(MSc) Information Systems with Coputing from Dublin Business School.

Prerequisites

• Visual Studio 2017
• SQL Server Management Studio 2017

Getting Started

You can download the whole source code in your local folder. Execute the GenerateDBSchema.sql in your SQL Server Management Studio. Change the SQL connection string in the web.config of both the below application projects:

• SkillDashboard.Web
• SkillDashboard.API

Run the application in Visual Studio by pressing F5. You must see 2 instances of localhost: one for the Web API and other is the web application. Kindly replace the value of the portnumber of the below APIBaseURL key present in SkillDashboard.Web project's web.config: <add key="APIBaseURL" value="http://localhost:30482" />

Optional Step:

After you execute the GenerateDBSchema.sql which will generate the Database and the schema for you, you can import the databse backup file SkillDB.bak present inside the Database folder.

• ASP.NET MVC 5, C#, SQL Server, Web API, HTML5, CSS3, JQuery, Javascript
