ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

We would want to show our gratitude to lecturer, MSc Truong Thi Ngoc
Phuong, who directly supported us throughout the process of creating project for us to
successfully complete this and report.
This topic has provided us with the necessary conditions to learn and do well
on it. Furthermore, we would like to express our gratitude to our classmates for
providing us with a wealth of relevant information and knowledge that has aided us in
improving our thesis.
We completed the topic and report in a short amount of time, with limited
knowledge and many other restrictions in terms of methodologies and expertise with
software implementation. As a result, there will inevitably be flaws in the process of
creating the topic, so we eagerly await your important feedback so that our expertise
may be increased, and we can do better next time. Thank you very much.

e thesis: Building a media social network mobile
app has given us a lot of experience and practical knowledge for future work. By
doing this, we have some conclusions as follows:
- Theoretically:

● Learn and use React Native framework technologies to develop mobile
applications, ways to organize class diagrams, system security, data storage,
etc. From there, realize APIs for using and querying data on the database side,
specifically the database system Firebase. Store data in a reasonable,
organized manner on Firebase cloud data storage.
● Understand React JS knowledge in how to build system interfaces, apply
independent UI components to develop interfaces. Know exactly when to rerender or when to throw away key DOMs. Thanks to that, a complete frontend system can be developed.
● Learn how to use a GPS system to get location information and embed it with
Google Maps.
- Practically:

● Built social network app have the required functions such as managing
profile, connecting with other people, chatting.
● Built a matching system with GPS location and sorting algorithm.
● Support both email and Google login.
