We will have the final project demonstrations on Monday.
Regarding the final report and Github repository.
There will be no mentoring sessions tomorrow as it is Easter Monday.
Please consider this only as a guideline:
We expect you to present the Phase 2 web application's theme (expected users, problem you plan to address), technical design and demonstrate the progress you made so far.
Related to the technical architecture, you can use 1 or 2 slides to introduce what data sources they use, how components are arranged.
For the application, we were expecting the initial/basic version of the app- some frontend with hard coded data is fine. It is okay if the pages are not integrated well.
If you have implemented some backend components you can mention them as well. It is recommended to prioritise the front end because it will be easier to demonstrate and help you to arrange a better narrative.
For groups that may not be able to make sufficient progress in coding the front-end, you can use wireframes/ GUI designs generated using a prototyping tool to communicate the project idea.
If you had problems with joining your Microsoft Team Session for week 8 demos, please try again now. We updated the broken URLs. Please let me know at k.bandara@unsw.edu.au if there are further issues with session links.
There has just been a faculty decision that engineering courses, except for project/thesis courses, will move to pass/fail (SY/FL) by default. As Software Engineering Workshops” are project based courses with no exam, they are not concerned by the decision and will be assessed normally.
List of API documentations of all teams are now published under week 6. You can use them as data providers for project Phase 2.
You will receive bonus marks if other teams use your API.
As you may already know, we are moving all mentoring meetings online. We recommend Microsoft Team as UNSW students and staff can use it freely. If not already done so, teams are free to chose a platform discussing with your mentor. Mentors or students are not needed to visit university in person.
Most mentors will conduct meeting on the usual time-slot. It is the team's responsibility to contact your mentor, decide a suitable platform and time-slot (if changes are necessary) and invite the mentor to join the call.
We plan to conduct Week 8 Demos online as well, and we will keep you informed regarding that.
-The tutorial on APIs is between 11 and 12. The second hour will be a guest presentation on professional issues related to software engineering jobs given by Profesionals Australia ( www.professionalsaustralia.org.au )
-I have uploaded an article about designing APIs under Week 5 lectures
-I will be available if people have questions about the workshop.
Both presentations are recorded for those who can't make it.
There will be a lecture conducted by Shayan Zamani tomorrow , Tuesday 16 March 11-13 at Colombo C.
Do not forget to bring your own laptop to the lecture. This lecture will be about designing documentation for APIs and generating codes automatically based on the documentation. You will do an activity together.
You can follow the activity through lecture recording as well.
Teams have the option to conduct mentoring meetings via video calls (some options are Skype, Zoom, Microsoft Team or Facebook Messenger).
It is the responsibility of the team members to set up a platform and contact your mentor.
In the project specification, the disease name of the coronavirus in Appendix D disease_list is updated to its official "name": "COVID-19". Please use this updated name in your API implementation.<o:p></o:p>
D2 requirements are online now under week 3. You can discuss it with your mentors at the Monday meeting.
There is an update to the Input Parameters for API section of the project specification, to consider timezone as an optional parameter. Please refer to the updated specification at WebCMS.
Mentoring timetable for Monday is published under week 2 lectures. Please meet your mentor at Ainsworth 101 at the scheduled time. One session will be for 15 minutes duration.
Data source assigned to you based on your preferences will be published by 10 a.m. on Monday.
-The first lecture will take place Tuesday 18 Feb 11-13 in Colombo C
-The second lecture will take place Friday 21 Feb 14-16 in Colombo C
