Devcathlon: Dreamweaver and Wicket

Introduction
The team is working on the full development of Devcathlon. Thus far, the developers have been taking baby steps getting acquainted with the framework for Hackystat and Wicket.

The Development
I am working on the Matches and Scoreboard team which includes.

• John Ancheta
• Robin Raqueno
• John Zhou

With Robin I am working on the scoreboard task of the design. John A and John Z are working on the Matches part of the development. The leadership decided to complete the UI first which makes sense. Because in order to implement the back-end of Devcathlon Wicket needs to be able to communicate with html script.

Coding Tasks as of Wednesday March 16

• Started the scoreboard UI implementation.
• Started the scoreboard Wicket implementation.
• Added the Hall of Fame page to the system.

Non Development Tasks

• Team meeting on March 21.

The team should be meeting more often to eliminate more issues from the board much of the communication is through chat and email.

Owned and Closed Issues

• Added Hall of Fame page *closed*
• Display Matches
• Display Current Score
• Build scoreboard UI

The goal with the scoreboard UI is to achieve a scoreboard that is cool and visually pleasing, thanks to Yahoo for the idea. Dreamweaver
I am using Dreamweaver to develop the scoreboard UI and the design has been slow going. I have not had the time to fully explore Dreamweaver so it has been a lot of design for a hour research for two hours. But I am learning quickly and managed to implement a skeleton of the scoreboard UI. I will talk about the learning and using of Dreamweaver in ICS 499 blog.

Conclusion
I am having a slow start with the development due to my issues with Dreamweaver however, I am confident that I can bang something concrete by the end of the week.
