This week we made progress. As a team, we finally decided on a name for the project and collectively feel that we all share the same vision of what the application is suppose to do.
I took time to flesh out the use cases for the different scenarios this week. I think this helped to show high level connections between the different parts of the equation. I now need to spend more time to help decide what technologies will be used to accomplish what we set out to do.
Done:
- Use cases
- Registered and made use of Trello, bitbucket, blog space (each will be important during the duration of this project)
- Sketched out high level ideas on how different parts interact
To Do next week:
- Evaluate each possible technology we have listed and cut down to the ones we will use. This includes elements in the following topics:
- APIs - communication
- Serverside - code and framework
- Web client - options and best choice for first time access
- Frameworks - to help standardize our structure
- Database - choose best solution for the job
- Confirm what our hosting site will be
- Begin preliminary sketching of the layout of the application
- Walk through use cases to see if they each are met in preliminary layout
I am hoping that in the next week the pace will start to speed up a bit more. It feels like so far we have been doing a lot of planning but I want to leave time to code the solution..
