Week 4 (20/10/2011)

During the past week, I have been working hard on my terms of reference which I aim to hand to Dave 1 week on Tuesday.
It has been going well and I received a specification list from Gabrielle at the EUI.
I am struggling with what to research where web forms are concerned. I haven't yet found any useful information on application forms specifically.

I have completed my Gannt chart and will be sending out questionnaires through Huddersfield University and the EUI to gain usability and design ideas.

I am 90% sure I will be using MySQL and PHP but this is something I would like to discuss with Dave in my next meeting.

Aims for W/C 24/10/2011:

• Continue with Terms of Reference

First meeting and Project Propsoal deadline

This is my first post and hopefully there's a lot more to come!!

This week I have been busy finishing my project proposal as it has to be handed in this Friday. I do a feel a little relieved that I already have a supervisor and a project title as I have heard people panicking as they have neither!

Dave pointed out a few points that I had missed from my proposal but I have decided to just go into more detail in my terms of reference instead of adding them in here.

I am pleased with the feedback Dave gave to me during the meeting but it has made me worry more about the actual building of the system. Therefore, I am going to compare PHP and MySQL alongside Visual Basics to make a final decision on which programs I will use. I will also look into Jquery but I have never heard of or used this before!!

Each week I will make a blog post relating to my final year project and also add aims for the upcoming week.
Thats all for now folks!!
