My group had its second meeting this past Saturday to start working on our first iteration which is due February 10th. This week we had the addition of a new group member who brought some good ideas for the project. All group members this week brought a sketch of what they thought our application should look like. It was nice that all of us kind of had the same design and some ideas icons and images that we want in the application.
We then broke up the work duties for the first iteration and discussed what we wanted the static file to be. Since we are planning on doing a movie mashup site we thought that bringing up a movie poster would be a good way to start iteration one. We also found out that Netflix is also an available API that we can use. For the most part it seems things are going well for group.
The only real issue we seem to be having is the fact that the COB is now closed on the weekends and Saturday is the only day our group can meet. We met last week at the student center computer lab. Half the computers did not work, and none of them have the software that is available at the CIS lab at the COB. One work around is for us to bring our laptops with our own software on to work on the project. This is probably what we will have to do. The COB being closed is just a minor set back and I know my group and I will be able to overcome this and have a great project.

Wait! The labs are now closed on Saturday as well? I thought it was just Sunday. If this is a new thing, this really sucks. I have used the lab a lot on Saturday and was looking forward to using it this semester.
ReplyDeleteYour idea for a movie mashup site sounds really cool. I look forward to seeing how your project progresses.
ReplyDeleteAlso, thanks for the information about the COB being closed on weekends. I didn't know that, and I'm glad I found out before driving out there.
