My first journal entry for my senor capstone. So far I started my awesome website and done some back ground planning and research for my project. Still looking very positive about this project and excited to see where I will get to take it.
Next big step will be to figure using the map and how to layer my effects on the map to create the image the users will see.

I have created my rough time line of when I would like to see things completed an I mean rough because I foresee problems that will take more time. I have been trying to figure out how to use Google maps in order to figure out how to store and use my date. I have created some rough drafts of my storage system just waiting to see what I really need.

We got together as a class and showed what we have accomplished and try to get help where we are stuck. It was interesting to see the work that everyone else has done and see what kind of approaches everyone is making.

We had our first official walk through today. It went o.k. I got lots of good feedback and tips to improve on my project. The biggest problem is that I did not have my project in a place that could be brought up so I was unable to actually show them what my project was doing.

I had a meeting today with Dr. Pankratz to discuss the direction and some of the problems with my project. Before talking I was going to use a database to store the data, but after the meeting we decided to focus more on arrays especially associate arrays to store the data for the site. This is a different approach and I will have to do more research on how to use them.

Today was presentation day. I got to show off all that I got accomplished and see what my other class mates also have done. The presentation went good with very little problems. The only problem was that for some reason my project would not update the events list and display like it was suppose to do. This was very frustrating but I was able to keep going through this.

Today was my defense with Dr. Pankratz and Dr. McVey. The whole process went well but there was some discussion. I was able to address some of the questions they had and they also brought some new views that I overlooked. Now just have to make a few changes before the project will be turned in.

Today is my last day with this project. Tomorrow everything has to be turned in and the project will be official done. As I am looking back at what I accomplished this semester I am happy with what I was able to do. There are some things I wish I would have seen earlier that I could have done differently but like they say "Hindsight is 20/20" It was good semester and I can't wait to see what happens next.
