SE-Vault: A one-stop resource for all Software Engineers

Landing Page of SE-Vault

Abstract: COVID-19 has wreaked havoc on most of the world’s industries, of which, its impact on the software industry is significant. It showed companies the importance of having better tools for knowledge management and establishing a digital presence. However, the only constraint in the software industry is the rapidly changing technologies that keep emerging day-by-day. As a result, many organizations had to revamp their development and training programs. Apart from this, COVID-19 has also impacted the mental health of employees resulting in poor productivity. Our SE-VAULT application aims to make learning easy and effective. The back-end of the application is built using the FLASK web framework and the Python programming language while the front-end was created using HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. Our application comes with two types of user roles namely Admin and User. Admin has the authority to moderate content and manage all the users on the website. On the other hand, Users can create their accounts and access the website to view and upload relevant content. Some key features of the web service include Video Streaming across many genres, Recreational Sessions for mental well-being, Links to relevant resources/blogs, etc. Hence, through this application, we give special focus to helping new and existing software engineers learn and subsequently make the transition to trending technologies easier and more enjoyable. Furthermore, our application focuses on the mental well-being of the developers which is just as important as technical skills. It also helps beginners in the software industry interact with their mentors by streamlining virtual knowledge transfer sessions. Lastly, it serves as a “one-stop resource” for all software engineers helping them in both personal and professional development.
