Group Iteration 3

The semester seems to have come to a quick and screaching halt. Don't get me wrong, its nice to be done, but it seemed like it snuck up me. My group has finally finished iteration 3. Our original idea for a music concert orientated sited seemed simple enough though it grew harder as the semester moved on. Our largest initial difficulty fell into the category of the inability to find suitable API's. While there were many many available, most we came to find out where going have a financial attachment that came with them. In the end we fell into similar standby API's that many of the others in class had chosen to use and master as well.

The class as a whole was a great instrument for every step we took in trying to succeed with this project. In hindsight, i feel like we put too much effort in to being imaginative and to create that masterpiece in our minds. As the end drew near we realized that while we had many creations to use for the flash there was little or no working substance to our project.

This reminded me greatly of project management several of us took the semester before. Our scope had creeped and we had to struggle to make it limping through the finish.

If i could change something other than the book we had used, we have all spoken in class about that before, i would suggest now a different learning structure for the course.

Pre-established compounding projects similar to what we had already done, but with API's chosen by the professor, with more tangible turn ins and benchmarks. But i can only speak for myself, one who always he will always walk the longest distance the lease allows.
