Friday 3rd March - Week 4

By

 During today's class, my focus was on crafting an introduction for my mobile application that clearly communicates its purpose and benefits. I spent quite some time and effort on this task, recognising the potential of my idea and the importance of conveying it with clarity and precision. I also drew a mind map for my app idea which I will be adding to as the weeks go on. Additionally, I took the opportunity to learn from Kriss's instructional slides on the proper technique for writing references, taking detailed notes for future reference.

Here is my final introduction, I am very happy with it:

SPOTTER is a mobile application that provides a convenient solution for users seeking ideal sunny areas and surfing spots within their state. This app is the perfect tool for those who want to maximise their outdoor experience without sacrificing valuable time by eliminating the need to search for each individual town or surf break. By using advanced filters such as temperature, wave size, and travel distance the app quickly and efficiently locates the users' desired destination. The app caters to the outdoors market, including spontaneous campers, keen surfers, or any outdoor enthusiast looking to enjoy nature's gifts.

Friday 11th August - Week 23

This week, my main focus was to organise and refine my screens to make sure there was a smooth transition between them. To enhance user experience, I brought in a navigation controller to the settings section, which provides a convenient back button for each subview. In fine detail, I scanned over all of the contraints within each UI view controller to ensure there were no significant issues.  It was during this week that I came to the realisation that I may not have enough time to implement to FIND SWELL feature. This feature is the exact same to the FIND SUN feature but instead of sun, we are searching for good waves. As a result of time management, I decided to remove the prepared view controllers and code that I had set up for starting this section.

Friday 28th July - Week 21

 This week I have hit a few more milestones within my code. I managed to display the locations on the homepage map. I also managed to change the default marker icon to my branded markers. Please see below: This was a challenge as I could not figure out why the api url wasn't valid to display all of these locations. After a lot of debugging, I came to the realisation that the api url had the (userSelectedDate) property which was not necessary/connected to the home page. I created a seperate api url for the homepage and after doing so, the code was successful. I also spent some time fixing the constraints of each controller.  My next step is to display the data on the homepage when a user clicks on a marker. I am in the middle of the code and at the moment the code is not successful. Once this is done, I will have the most important elements of the app complete.
