Week 4 Status update.

Weekly Post: Week 4

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..
