Day 26

Today we starting work on an add-on to our existing ToDo List Application. This addition would use some of the concepts that we learned while developing the Top Spots API in the last project. The new ToDo List would allow a user to store their todos permanently in an SQL database. It will also allow them to Create Update and Delete their todos from the database.

Day 24

Today we started working on an API that allows a developer to see thirty of San Diego's Top Spots as well as a description of each place and GPS coords of each location.

Day 23

Today we worked on a 20 different coding challenges. I was able to complete all but the last two. I started on the Mortgage Calculation but ran into difficulties with the typecasting of each variable. I wish I had more time to work on this but it is the end of the day and I want to learn all that I can about what we are working on tomorrow. I may come back to the last two questions in time.

Day 22

Today my group and I presented our application. I was very pleased with the feedback from the audience.

Day 19

We have made quite a bit of progress on the application. I am really happy with the direction in which we are moving.

Day 18

Today we started work on a team project. My team has three members. We initially decided to create an application would allow users to see information about, and contact their political representatives. A user would enter their address into a text field and after doing so would be provided with images of their representatives from the local state and federal level. The API that we wanted to use to create this application was no longer functioning and the creator of the API was unresponsive. Needless to say, we had to pivot to a new idea. We eventually decided to create an application called "What's Up?". This would be an application which allowed a user to enter their address, then see a map which displayed a visual representation of all the places near them, which they would be most likely interested in, such as grocery stores, movie theaters gas stations, bars etc... simultaneously.

Day 17

Today my teammate and I were able to complete the requirements for the Movie Search Application. We used the OMDb API to create the application, which allows a user to type in the name of a film and see an extended list of info about it. I was also able to spend some time tweaking the Weather App UI so that it looks a little nice.
