First Week Blog

As far as the development process goes for the LASA app, everything's going fine and in order. We're definitely moving at a very fast and unexpected pace, but it's going to get much harder from here. So far we've gotten tabs and buttons down and we're working on integration of google calendar into the Android environment through already written code. Additionally, we're trying to get the actual app's assets in order, creating the visuals before we begin implementing them. I'm pretty much going to be in charge of getting all of the graphics done as soon as possible and then helping out the coding aspects, because we definitely want our app (considering it's the official LASA one) to look very nice. We still need to get into contact with the website development crew, but that's not entirely urgent as we're still in the beginning stages of app development and largely just experimenting. If everything goes at the pace it's currently going, I doubt we will be working on the app much longer than a semester, but we expect it to slow down once we get to the troubleshooting and difficult coding parts. However, we plan on tackling those parts as easy as possible, relying on RSS  from the website to both make it so that the app automatically updates and to make the coding a little bit less of a burden. Overall, however, everything is going great.
