I spent the beginning of this week doing a lot of research and planning. The officers of Byte Club will be creating an app for our high school, but we have to decide what we want in it and how we will do it before we start coding. So, I began working on a Software Design Document for the app to get a basis of what will be necessary to learn before we start coding, and what we want the app to look like and do. I based my SDD off of a Concordia template. Once I began planning, though, I started to realize just how much the I, and most likely the other officers, had to learn before we even thought about coding. So, I started some research. We are planning on using Google Cloud Endpoints to facilitate our app, and Google App Engine to make the transition across platforms easier. I have to start by understanding how to use each of these tools. Along with this comes a little bit of Java Web Application programming and data storage. This is where I began my research. So, the first few days of the week, I surfed the web for good tutorials, definitions, and code snippets to help me understand how to code the project we will be embarking on.
Additionally, on Wednesday, we had our second Byte Club meeting. This month, our goal was to split our members into groups and have them start to brainstorm and plan the projects they wanted to create. We had a very successful meeting--every group had an idea of what they wanted to do before the end of the meeting. Now, I have to start making a simpler version of the SDD I began to use for the rest of our club members to take advantage of in their programming process. Since some of our club members have less experience with programming than others, it is essential that we have groups make a document that makes sense for all of the members. So, simplification is paramount.
