Week 9 - Work Report for NearMe and the Progress Demonstration

This week was filled with deadlines for NearMe - firstly, the team needed to make sure the website had reached a standard fit for presentation. Secondly, the group needed to finish the progress report - one which would outline everything the website was capable of, what we were planning to add/remove and any major changes made to our website. Thirdly, the group needed to prepare a presentation which would essentially put our report into our progress report into a demonstration.

There wasn't really anything major we needed to do for the website; the core website had been done - however, there were still gimmicks with the date filter. Despite this, we reasoned that the website could still perform a standard search which, after all, was all the presentation needed to do. We added the basic CSS which would become the skeleton of our final product and continued to work on the report as that was a higher priority at the time.

Unlike the previous documentation, the whole group was unable to collaborate on the progress report, due to the presentation and the website itself needing attention. Thus, the team split up and left two members to complete the progress report while the other two attended the website and the presentation respectively. Overall, the report was well structured and answered all the questions the rubric had outlined - which left the team satisfied at its quality.

In regards to the presentation, the team actually prepared an adequate speech for the presentation - which allowed for a more structured demonstration to be presented. While there were a few small issues regarding the presentation appearing on the monitors, the overall presentation ran smoothly, with the team successfully showing what NearMe was capable of.

Next week should hopefully bring a solution to the date filer issue!
