We recently had our meeting for filling out the business model form to help solidify what information we are going to present for the pitch. It is really amazing at how something with so little can eek out so much thought of what would actually have to be done to create a fleshed out business model. We, of course, did not fill out everything since we only have 4-5 minutes to actually present the information during the pitch. It was interesting that there was a lot of overlap in the topics within each box. As we were filling out the information, we would get to another whole box that would be there to flesh out a single aspect of a previous box.
VisualScheduler is looking good. The static pages are done, the backend is essentially complete, and the Scheduling page is making wonderful progress for the the pitch demo.

Finally finished the html frontpage for the web app. It looks pretty bare at the moment, but it's at least ready to be polished to everyone's liking. Time to start on the about, help, and contact pages.
Hell f*****g yeah! Intellij fixed my project problems (though it took me a few hours to figure out how to set everything up). I can finally code without having to deal with janky hacks around the problems (still don't know why they even existed) and can now jump on making our html pages with piece of mind.

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.
