Post Supervisor Meeting Report

Meeting went pretty well, Dermot just edited some of the text to re word it better and make it fit better within the context of my project.
I also have to talk a bit about the use of xml to create views in Android and why it is used or what benefits it has.

There is not too much additional work to be done to get it just right so I'm pretty happy with it and hopefully its good enough to help me aim for a distinction.

The deadline approaches

So the deadline for submission of the interim report is on monday and I have finally tidied up everything I have done in the report and the literature review. I have a project meeting with my supervisor now at 10 and I'm looking forward to seeing what he thinks about the content of my report.

Hopefully there will be no major issues with it as due to the time constraint and the amount of other work we have I wont have much time to edit the document substantially over the wekend, so hopefully I haven't made a total mess of it. My main concern is that the content is valid and meaningfull and that I haven't left something major out.

I'll post the feedback Dermot gives me after the meeting.

Literature Review Update

Currently working on finishing up my literature review, for today I decided to dedicate my time, to reviewing what I had, tidying it up and adding finishing touches to parts that required them. To finish off the review I am looking at a current Android application that exists and what I would like to take from it.

After I finish that then I need to redo my proposed solution as it is completely disjointed at the minute and also tidy up my plan for progress and add my references and appendices.

all in all I'm semi happy with what I have at the moment, unfortunately I missed a meeting with my supervisor last friday but I with a meeting this friday, hopefully Dermot will address any problems with the interim report and I can fix them over the weekend ready for submission on monday

The sands of time are ebbing away....

This week is an absolute disaster, with mounting projects and time running out I don't think I can devote as much time to my main project as I would have liked, I had planned to create a little application that uses Androids location API but I may not have time for that now. I also feel I'm rushing my interim report a bit and not getting a chance to edit it as I would like.

Just to remind myself I have to do the following projects along with the main project

-Create a Blackjack Java Applet
-Create a mobile app that uses RMS data storage
-Create and improve upon a Pong Java Applet
-Create an Email client using RMI
-Create a Timetable Application using Scrum Development process

And then there's the project too.

So its gonna be a hectic 2 weeks or so

Overdue Update

Been awhile since I posted, Projects backlog has taken over and its been hard to find time to update this blog, my website is also long over due an update too but this blog will have to do for now.

I have been working on both my literature review and learning Android.

I am nearly finished creating a Sudoku game for Android and I have also found an open source application that uses the location API of Android that I will hopefully get a chance to play around with.

I am about half way through my literature review, It has good content on the types of development platforms there are, the opportunities for mobile applications, a bit about Android, I just have to write a bit more about what I want to do it and how I will achieve that
