Weekly log for Swim Sheets project

Hailey Jenkins, Rebecca Bruce, Nish Chakraburt

Week of September 8


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.

This week we focused on more research for our project. 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.
