WELCOME BACK!
We hope everyone one had a good break spending time with their friends and family for the holidays. I know we definitely felt like break was too short.
Over break Team Newspaper made a lot of progress on our app! A lot of the work we did was spent researching how to incorporate different elements into the application, including push notifications, retrieving stories from the RSS feed, and completing the user interface.
We believe having the client involved in the development process is crucial. We want the application to be a representation of their visions versus our own. We are just the technical side. Therefore, the graphics were designed by student designers that work for the Augustana Observer. Below are two pictures of their designs. What we did was use their designs as reference to what the app should look like. Having a visual aide helped a lot during the coding process and enabled us to stay connected with our clients, as well as provide an app that they visually enjoy.
Our goals this week is to bring everything together! We currently have all the pieces that are required to make the app successful, but we need to combine them all to produce a functioning prototype.
We will be demoing a beta version of our application on Monday, January 16 at 2:30pm. Anyone is welcome to come see our progress!
