On Monday, I met with Dr. Murray and we discussed how we would conduct our next meeting and planned for the next few weeks. We are planning on giving the app group a deadline for their research of the second Friday in November. This gives the group plenty of time to research outside of school while still minding the progress that is necessary to complete the app on time. We also decided to focus on the fundraising ideas we talked about previously along with the finalization of the deadline at the next meeting on Wednesday.
I also spent some time reading through some resources on data scraping this week. Data scraping is the topic I chose to research for the app, and I am happy with the progress I have made in the research. It turns out that basic data scraping is not as hard as it sounds. The trouble will arise when I need to deal with the information I need to scrape being on popups. Hopefully, that will not pose too much difficulty in the long run. I also took some time in the beginning of this week to look at how we would scrape data for our unique project. I looked at the source code for the sites that we would be scraping from for the app and Dr. Murray gave me some insight into the easiest ways we could accomplish the process. Additionally, we took a peek at some website design using databases and communicating between coding languages. This will be helpful to understand where the data in source code is coming from and how to access that data.
