Since I've been having severe issues with our project on eclipse, I have been looking into Intellij by the recommendation of Zach Harding. I really hope that it is as good as it claims to be and will resolve my issues.

The lecture from the guest speaker was really interesting to me. The main reason being that I see a lot of similarities of what he was talking about with my current internship. A lot of the processes sound the same, the commit sizes are small because of a mature code base, etc. The only difference is that there isn't too much significance of time at the moment, or it may just be me being out of the loop since I'm only a lowly intern.

Things are looking really good for our project. Dan's girlfriend has delivered on a massive scale with a wonderful series of mockup images. Dan is thinking that the backend is almost done, and that we can begin focusing on working on implementing the front end to look like the mockup images.

I've been having issues with my eclipse project folder settings for a while so I haven't been able to keep track of everyone's work; so I have just been working on the calendar portion and some of my own simple mock up pages that are coded to start off with.

Our project is moving along well. Dan recently got a remote server up and running using Amazon's AWS services. Our backend is looking to be in good shape and we've started on developing a basic front end. Unfortunately, I've been running into project/repository issues with the recent project consolidation/cleanup from the initial repository. Hopefully I can get that resolved quickly with the help of Dan.

I've found something very promising for the calendar visualization. There is an AngularJS framework based utility packaged called AngularUI. AngularUI has a full calendar (month view, week view, day view) that I think we'll be able to use for our project. I've started looking into it and hope to have a demo up within the next couple of days.

I've been tasked with researching how we are going to visualize the schedule. It will most likely be some sort of weekly calendar, similar to what UNM has for their weekly schedule or Google's calendar, in which you can add schedule objects that will then appear as blocks of time in the calendar.

I'm feeling good about our project, it looks like all the separate pieces that we've been working on are fit together well and we're able to get basic query functionality. With the basic guts implemented its now time to start working on the front end design of things and make it look pretty.
