Week6

17/Oct/2010

Sunday today. Library is closed. So we took seats in the cafeteria as usual. Finally I got solution for FullCalendar. I gathered all the information from the internet so still most of cording is not clear to me but anyway, I could succeed to connect it to database. I better study line by line. I started to create presentation script. There is a flow in our presentation so I discussed with my team mate and decided to present the activity diagram of "Create Cases" in my section.Hope we could do it well.

Saturday today. Library is still open though not tomorrow. Started to plan next presentation. Main topic is UML. There will be ERD part, Activity diagrams part and Sequence & Class diagrams part. I am assigned to the second part. How can I describe it? I mean what will be the best way to present? Still no idea. Gotta think. Updated the function list and this time I added tick boxes to check which function is already on UML. Quite good idea to trace achievement. We discussed the function of Issuing invoice with paper prototype. We had different ideas from the client request, again. We need to talk to the client more.

Discussed sequence diagrams. It is good to review the idea of class concept before coding. We have learned many stuff last half a year but I think for IT beginners like me, many things are still fuzzy and shaky. Hope I can make them clear before I graduate. And I am still trying to configure jQuery tool. Last few days, I don't know why but I haven't had good concentration. Hope I can get over it and find solution.

Still working on FullCalendar. 3 steps forward, 2 back. or maybe 3. Anyway need to understand everything. At 4 O'clock, we were kicked off from college because of a kind of party. College is for party? or study? Cannot get the idea. Moved to library but couldn't find any free discussion room so we spent a couple of hours in the cafeteria. Discussed a plan for the next presentation. No surprise this time. We will explain UML diagrams.

Studied FullCalendar. I never used jQuery before so I need to know each function and how to configure them. Reading official document each line and tried them one by one. Getting better. Next step will be JSON. Another language. Wonder how many languages in the world? Reviewed Use Cases. Not very far from right answers but still not. It seemed we could spend whole time only for developing UML not software.

Started to research how to implement an event calendar in the system. ASP.Net has got a calendar control but it seems not handy so I found jQuery plug-in tool called FullCalendar. The UI is just like the Google calendar. I want use this tool and also another plug-in Datepicker at the same time. I need to find solution how to connect them to database. Hope it works well. Instead of the regular meeting, we had a special class of UML today. We should have had this kind of class at the beginning of the analysis phase. But never too late. Let's get rebuilt UML diagrams.

Had a meeting with our supervisor and asked him feedback on our ERD. There are still heaps of other possibilities need to be considered though we are not sure if needed or not. Yes, we need to discuss more. However I even could not start conducting discussion for this. Was it my fault? I do not know. As someone suggested, we decided to divide research tasks and I took working on Event calendar function and pdf generating function. Let's see how it works.
