Notes from class

If you do not write documentation, it will get lost. -> main pro!
Fail to keep records results in delays.
Most important: write down what NOT to do! What DOES NOT WORK!
There are costs involved when keeping records and sometimes it is better to just not keep records. (for very small projects it is not worth it)

Status report

Hi everyone,
Current status of webMyCal:
We have implemented monthly() which generates a month of the calendar and calls listevents() for every day.
During listevents() implementation, a logical bug was found in @AoH (array of hashes) which holds the events, so currently we are working on that.
Soon we will have listevents() working and this will complete monthly().

Next step will be to get daily and weekly done.

here is the latest status presentation:
files/webMyCal_Presentation3.pdf in pdf format and
files/webMyCal_Presentation3.tar.gz in tar.gz keynote format.

    webMyCal Presentation

    For the presentation, we (Georgi and I) will present the needs Analysis, feasibility study, system design, and the timeline.
    Needs Analysis

  • Getting the calendar files from the calendar application and converting that file to html
  • We also would like to have the features that a user would have in a calendar application, in the converted html version. For example, font color, font size, event color, alarms, etc.

    • Feasibility Study

  • We will use the iCalendar format used in rfc2445
  • We will also use existing iCalender to XML translators and rowspan tags in html for the events
  • Javascript + php for on-the-fly editing with a browser

    • System Design

  • Perl script for converting iCal file to html backend
  • Web interface as a front end

    • Timeline

  • Initial Design - Done on Feb. 6
  • Montly View - Feb. 14th
  • Weekly View - Feb. 21st
  • Daily View - Feb. 28

    • The presentation can be found at: http://mcs.dowling.edu/~terahz/POCS2/files/webMyCal_Intro.html

    How To Make A Good User Manual

  • The user manual must take the user step by step.
  • From an overview of the system, to installation, and to using the program.
  • Everything must go against the code

    Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)

  • CSS is a powerful, flexible way to specify HTML formatting.
  • Allow us to control the style and layout of multiple Web pages all at once.
  • With CSS, when you want to make a change, you simply change the style, and that element is updated automatically wherever it appears within the site.

    • CSS Demo

    http://www.w3schools.com/css/demo_default.htm
    Our CSS Styles

    “day” -> class for table in daily view

    “dailybody” -> class for in daily view

    “week” -> class for table in weekly view

    “weeklybody” -> class for in weekly view

    “weeklyeven” -> class for event in weekly view

    “month” -> class for table in montly view

    “monthlybody” -> class for in montly view
