Welcome

I'm a student and this blogg has been created to keep information on a daily to weekly basis about my project that i am doing to get my Bachelor of Information Technology. This is based on my progress, and a place to put all of my information, not entirely a proper blogg. Though sometimes i feel like i'll be talking to myself... Any ways, enjoy and feel free to comment. If your wondering what this project is and dont want to read every single post, just go to the Proposal link, or any of the "posts worth looking at" below.

8/9 Report

By today i wanted to have been doing the implemenation part of the report. But what ive noticed, is that because i didnt research properly the first time, it is taking alot longer than i thought. As well as this, i realised that the research, or the writing up of the mapping services is the most important information part of my report, because it tells people about web services, mapping services, a comparison of three, why i choose google, and a more detailed explanation of the API provided by google.

So im hoping that because of the research taking so long, the rest will be quicker, mainly because i will be writing about what i did, not research. Also, just thought id mention that i have a systems development assignment due in two weeks and i havent even looked at the assignment sheet, and if we looked at it in class i cant remember. My first statistics test is in two weeks as well... so im going to be busy.

I did decide not to go to wellington though... so that gives me 4 more days to work on the report for when i want it to be finished. At this stage it looks like im behind, but that wont be easy to gauge until ive started on the design part of the report properly and can move quickly vs slow research.

Tomorow i am gonna carry on with the research part and a little of the design part of report, just so it looks like im moving forward more, have systems development in the afternoon as well.

7/9 Implementation Summary

Today i made the diagram to more easily represent how the mapping works. I decided due to time constraints that i wasnt going to add in the search functions, as well as not spend more time on the interface. Because i used standard grid views for the jobs on the selectJobs page, i only had the basic items showing like the client ID, instead of the client name, or the client address ID, instead of the street address. This however, like the searching, isnt an important part of this proof of concept, but only interface imporovement.

From now on, i will only be working on my report, tomorow i will post up what i want to complete in the next week.
