This week, Hailey looked into pre-existing apps such as meet mobile and meet manager as a possible way to connect our data and for a method of inserting our information; however, the price to work with meet manager is above our price range for the project. She also worked on setting up the database by creating a table to insert data into under Bluehost. She did this by going to myPHP and setting up a table that includes Swimmer's First Name, Swimmer's Last Name, Meet Name, Team Name, Event Number, Heat Number, Lane Number, and time. She also generated an ERD that is posted on the project page as a pdf that gives an overview of how the database flows. Overall, she has spent 4 hours working this week.

Weekly log for Swim Sheets project

Hailey Jenkins, Rebecca Bruce, Nish Chakraburt

Week of September 1-September

This week, we formed our group and decided on our project. We came up with the idea of creating an app that will allow timers at swim meets to input the time into, in order to streamline the process of timing for competitions.

Week of September 8-September 15


We met with our TA Amelia to discuss our project ideas and finalize our project proposal.

We worked on our initial project proposal and developed our gantt chart to prepare for the semester. We considered the steps of creating an iPhone app and discussed the possible ways to approach the project.

We worked on research for the project goals. Hailey researched how to create a database and found bluehost as a possible webpage host for our database. This has a cost of $3.95 that would need to be budgeted for. Bluehost would allow us to link our database to the app that we will code because it is a mySQL database.

Nish and Rebecca worked on the layout for the app. They developed 5 different screens. The first one consists of a welcome input for the date, meet, and timekeeper's name. The second page consists of the event, heat, lane and if the person at the block matches the name that appears on the screen. Based on if the name is correct, the screen will either go to a place to enter the time or a screen to enter the correct name. The 5th page is for the recap of the information and gives the user the ability to move to the next race or exit the meet.

Week of September 15-September 22


This week we focused on more research for our project. In order to be ready to start developing the database and begin coding for the app within the next week.

Hailey researched about creating a database and started an account with BlueHost, which is a mySQL database. She went through the PHP tutorials and used youtube videos to better understand how to create a database that can hold a table and have data imported. She spent about 5 hours working this week.

Rebecca downloaded Xcode 9 and Swift 4 and began the program called swift tour. Swift is a programming language that is supported by apple and used for iOS, MacOS, watchOS, and tvOS app development. It uses similar language to C and objective C. She spent about an hour this week doing research.

Nish also downloaded Xcode an began learning how to operate C in order to be able to program the app. He spent about two hours this week researching Xcode.

Week of September 22-September 29


This week, Hailey looked into pre-existing apps such as meet mobile and meet manager as a possible way to connect our data and for a method of inserting our information; however, the price to work with meet manager is above our price range for the project. She also worked on setting up the database by creating a table to insert data into under Bluehost. She did this by going to myPHP and setting up a table that includes Swimmer's First Name, Swimmer's Last Name, Meet Name, Team Name, Event Number, Heat Number, Lane Number, and time. She also generated an ERD that is posted on the project page as a pdf that gives an overview of how the database flows. Overall, she has spent 4 hours working this week.

Rebecca spent 3 hours setting up her Xcode and creating a test app interface. She ran into a problem with making her apple ID comparable with the apple developer website; this problem will need to be resolved before beginning coding for the app. All code that she completed is currently stored on her laptop.

Nish spent about 30 minutes working with simple print statements and algorithms in swift this week.
