Group Project (Personal Progress)

I've been posed with the task of building our App for the group project. So far I have a little bit of progress. I'm trying out different ideas on the layout and how it will function and have come up with a few basic ideas on how it will operate/run.

Our app is a UCD based ATM location database. The App will describe a few different locations within 15 minutes walking distance to the University. It will state the location of all of the different branches and actual building locations of banks also.

The first image shows the raw designer layout of our app.

The second image shows the blocks or the building of the operation of the app.

My First Prezi

This is my first prezi presentation. Using the instructions from class, I was able to create this presentation. This including adding photos and a Youtube Video.

Diigo E-Lab

This lab was to create a Diigo account, and use its additional web browser button to 'bookmark' information. Unfortunately I use the college computers and was unable to do this, but Will as soon as possible.

Pintrest Lab

This week we had to create a pinterest account and add a new board, along with different pins from different locations. One from an Irish website and another from a different pintrest account.

Lab #2 Magic 8 Ball

The following are snips from the "Magic 8 ball" lab from last week. The first shows the completed block element of the project and the second shows the overall design of the app.

A paired experiment: Leaving feedback

In last week's lecture Shane posed three questions that the class had to work in pairs to answer. We had to ask each other about leaving feedback on a website, or leaving a review. My partner stated that she had never left feedback before in any shape or form, the thought of doing this never appealed to her and it had never crossed her mind. On reflection of this train of thought, she then remembered a time she most definitely should have left feedback. She ordered a dress online and when it arrived she thought it was awful and didn't fit the description that was given on the website she bought it from. Instead of doing something about it she simply passed the dress on to her friend.

MIT App Software and "HelloPurr"

 Friday mornings class was good, but getting there is a problem. I will almost always be a little late due to my commute, unless I get a bus at 5 a.m!

Today we used the MIT app builder to create a practice 'app' for means of creating the final app for our group project. Te software itself is really easy and simple to use and I picked it up straight away. 

The first app is called "HelloPurr" and it is a basic app that allows the user to touch a picture of a cat, and the app will then respond with a sound of a cat "Meowing|. After I successfully created the app I went on to try more difficult creations, but class time ran out and I wasn't apple to complete "Space Invaders".

MIT App builder software interface

This was a great and informative class and I'm excited for next week's lab.

E-mail to myself of completed app.
