This page aims to contain a weekly report for our progress in the HTML5 course

14.04.2012

Even though the course's started few weeks ago, this is our first formal post about our progress. So far, we have decided to develop a location based application in which the user can add his common routes (e.g. from home to work, from work to gym, etc), and then he is displayed a bus/train/metro schedule. The rest of pages in the wiki contain more information about it and how we plan to develop it.

In the lectures, we've been acquainted with some basics about backbone.js and jquery (and also briefly other libraries. Some of these libraries were new for us, so we need to think of how they can be useful for our project. Thanks to the MVC, We have different alternatives for the designing the architecture of this application. It is difficult to find a balance between functionality, ease of use, and the resources (mostly our time and easeness for implementation) that we are expected to spend for this project. Currently we are trying to decide which design will be better for coping with all these challenges. We hope that further lectures will help us decide the best approach; meanwhile we keep learning and learning and experimenting with our own solutions.
