Problem at Day1 Solved!

Found out we were throwing in and getting wrong stuff with the Servlet. On to integration! =)

Day One of Working With RPC's...

and we weren't blessed with a beginner's luck.

The Orgster team decided to have an overnight session to work on the deadline for this week, and that is to be able to integrate the user interface with the database. Rj worked on the polishing of the user interface while Cez and Mei Ann explored the remote procedure calls (RPCs) in GWT. Malen reconstructed the database queries and sample data. The tutorials at the GWT developer website guided Cez and Mei Ann in making this "bridge" between client (the one using the interface) and the server (the one that executes the requests from the user). But we always get an error that the server class was not instantiated. Malen tried to build the project that Cez and Mei Ann are having errors with, using Eclipse but she gets a NullPointerException.

We need to solve this problem asap. We need to read more about remote procedure calls to be able to implement it because we're still clueless about it. Deadline is on Friday.. =s

GP’s Progress Report 4

This week we have accomplished:

• Beth Mercado: Improved our project’s prototypes(minimized the no. of pages) and helped finalizing the tables
• Rona Tadlas: Improved our project’s prototypes(minimized the no. of pages) and helped finalizing the tables
• Perla Loro: Final draft of the normalized tables
• KC Ferre: Final draft of the user manual and helped in finalizing the tables

• Create the database and insert sample data

Our most important concerns/issue:

· Not sure if the normalized tables are really correct and final

We learned:

• Beth Mercado: changes really happen along the duration of the project.
• Rona Tadlas: modifications and changes cannot be avoided
• Perla Loro: some tables that we created can be combined into one
• KC Ferre: the user manual, with the screenshots, cannot really be finalized unless the prototypes are already final

GP’s Progress Report 3

This week we have accomplished:

• Beth Mercado: Modified our project’s prototypes
• Rona Tadlas Modified our project’s prototypes
• Perla Loro: Second draft of the normalized tables
• KC Ferre: First draft of the user manual, updated Use Case Diagram and Analysis Class Diagram

• Finalize the normalized tables

Our most important concerns/issue:

· How to improve the user interface of the project

We learned:

• Beth Mercado: Basics of php
• Rona Tadlas: Basics of php
• Perla Loro: it's easier to normalize if you would use the warrie orr notation
• KC Ferre: use umlet for easier making of diagrams; and one needs to be very detailed in making a user manual and should consider that the intended reader has no knowledge of how to use the system

Mentorsplus Online Description

Mentorsplus offers center based tutorial services which range from intensive Math, Science, and English sessions to regular three times a week session covering all major subjects. Services are offered to all students from elementary to college. The main approach of the center is the tapping and the enhancement of the basic skills and fundamentals of every subject matter for experience would tell that the basic allows learners to gauge very well various problems, questions, exercises. The basic approach allows students to creatively think of strategies in getting the right answers.

Mr. Aldo Garcia, the director and owner of Mentorsplus wants to improve the system implemented in the center. With this, Mentorsplus Online is conceptualized with the Jjamppong group.

Mentorsplus Online is a website that would inform the user about the center: its history, services offered, events held and announcements. Students may post their comments or feedbacks about the tutorial center.

Also, this would help the owner to keep track the operations of Mentorsplus. That is, he would be able to maintain and manage the profile of the students, as well as the tutors.

Girl Power Progress Report 2

• Rona Tadlas:
• Perla Loro: we can also use primary keys that are not by default included in the attributes of a table
• KC Ferre: rtm secarios should include all the expected scenarios and update or rtm is important to know which of the prototypes are not yet done
