Week August 4 - August 8

What did I do last week?

During the past week, functional requirements were defined for the software product being developed. In addition, other types of requirements such as database, performance, etc., were also defined. On the other hand, research began regarding the development of the initial functional requirements, seeking technologies that would enable the facilitation of their development.

What am I going to do this week?

During this week, I will focus on completing Deliverable 1 by creating the video for the first submission. Additionally, the Sprint Backlog will be created, and integration of the developed work will take place, which will be discussed with the team.

Is there some obstacle in the way?

One of the main obstacles so far has been the development time. Although for this first delivery, we don't need to have a complete product, it's important to have at least some of the initial functional requirements.

Week August 9 - August 16

What did I do last week?

During the past week, I was working on developing the interface component of the map that will display the application. For this purpose, I utilized the Leaflet API, which allows me to showcase the map. Additionally, based on the API developed by other colleagues that connect with Ubidots, I was able to render markers on the map indicating which locations were occupied and which ones were not, using this data.

What am I going to do this week?

During this week, I will continue with the project development, specifically focusing on the map visualization and user interface design aspects.

Is there some obstacle in the way?

So far, there have been no obstacles in the development of the tasks completed.

Week August 17 - August 23

What did I do last week?

During the past week, I was involved in integrating the responsibilities of each team member regarding the project. One of these responsibilities was to display real-time data on the map, along with the consumption of the necessary APIs for this purpose.

What am I going to do this week?

During this week, I will be focusing on fulfilling the requirements for Sprint 2. This entails developing the functionality to display real-time spaces on the application's map, as well as providing users with information about these spaces. This will enhance the user experience when navigating the map and checking the availability of these spaces.

Is there some obstacle in the way?

One of the main challenges this week was to display real-time occupancy data for the spaces. In other words, if data was updated, it required a page reload to see these updated details on the map. Therefore, the biggest hurdle was to explore tools that would allow me to achieve this dynamically and present this real-time data in a way that users wouldn't need to refresh the application to obtain accurate information.

Week August 24 - August 31
