Designing and building a dynamic learning platform for CSGO players

Abstract

The purpose of this thesis was to research and develop a dynamic and video based learning platform. The target group of this application is Counter Strike: Global Offensive players. The platform will focus on one specific element of the game thus limiting the complexity of it. The purpose of this project was to research possible users and other similar platforms and with that information, build an application. The results of user interview showed that over half of the users will be using the site on desktop and thus the application format of web application was chosen because it can be used to reach both mobile and desktop users. The user interface of the application was created with React JavaScript library. The backend of the application was done using Google’s Firebase application development platform. The end result is a working application that uses continuous deployment. The user experience was fine-tuned by conducting usability tests for target users. The application is not publishable at this point due to some security flaws.
