Methodology
I follow the “Design-Code-Test-Document” methodology.
My first step while developing the software is to design the process flow by understanding its inner workings. During the initial mentorship, I with my mentor did some planning of the implementation and set important milestones for same. The schedule for the work(given above) for the respective feature. Once I develop each feature, I will write tests for the implementation to make sure whatever I wrote is working correctly. At the end of the tests, I will document its implementation. I will be using GIT for version control with reviews taking place on Github( we are yet to finalize the repo's ).
I believe in constantly sharing my progress with the mentor and the community, a weekly update regarding my work is shared with mentor as a weekly meet. The VScode extension uses typescript for client side scripting and the server side implementation will be in Rust.
The work has been interesting and I happy that me and my mentor have established good communication. You can usually find me discussing the project related queries on the solang channel of Hyperledger Rocketchat.
Note: * - As it is a rough estimate about the project for now, some things can change according to the priority and time of the project requirements.
