Sheng Wang
1) What did I do this week?
- I went to the TIES Lab, and learned about our Friday Work Meetings.
- At the TIES Lab, we put together a old Dell computer in order to work as an interim server.
- However, several problems persisted.
- The computer was missing SDRAM PC-100/PC-133, old memory that is generally no longer produced.
- This memory is expensive, and the computer also required a RAID-Controller.
- We debated whether it was cost-effective to maintain the computer, and decided to look into purchasing a new server.
- Possible substitutes would be the KPC from Shuttle with is $99 bare-bones.
- I am assigned the task of installing and setting up the server when and if we get it.
- Installed the Eclipse Development Tools on Linux, and discussed the possibility of creating a new Linux Package.
2) What challenges did I find?
- I found that Android Project was very closely integrated to the online FCP System.
- However, the primary concern this quarter was getting the pharmacy module working and set up.
- Because I still did not yet have a close understanding of the way FCP Online worked, I studied the development tool slides.
- Part of the FC Website needed updating, and I modified some of the PHP Files online.
- Tou assigned me the Pharmacy Module.
- Henry showed me how JSON integrated the Pharmacy Drug Search with the MySQL database.
- I found understanding how the system worked challenging and took the task of learning more Javascript.
3) How did I solve those challenges?
- Self-studied the development environment, discussed the Android Project with Henry.
- Learned more about JSON, AJAX, and Javascript programming.
4) What is one new thing I learned?
- See (3)
5) What do I need to do next week?
- Work on the Pharmacy Module and gain more familiarity with the Developer Tools, Ticketing System, and SVN.
