Project Assignments

Here are the project assignments:

Administrative Tools: Shannon
Academic Management Tools: Pati
Instructor Management System: Matt
Student Management System: George
Registration Management System: Jansen and Jordan
Backend/Server side Support & Database Management System: Jansen and Jordan

Five of us talked for a bit after our DBMS class and I wanted to share the
ideas/thoughts that we bounced around:
- it would probably be good if each of us had a package for our code. It
doesn't matter what each of us call our package, but we need to share that
with Jansen and Jordan.

- also, we need a common repository for the code so everyone has access to
it, especially Jansen and Jordan. Jordan mentioned that he has some room
that we use for this project.

- each of us should come up with a draft list of classes and methods that
we will be creating for our pieces. it just needs to be a draft at this
point for Jansen and Jordan.

- (I just thought of this one) since most of us use DrJava, which includes
JUnit for testing, should we all create the test cases for our piece in
it? or is there a better tool for this? Like FindBugs...

- Java has an SQL API, so SQL may be used instead of Oracle.

And a couple questions:
- are we supposed to be accessing the .txt files for the data or should we
be accessing the SQL tables? If it's the second option, then we could use
the java.sql API for methods, etc.

- what's the schedule for this project? how should we break it down?

Thanks,
Pati
