To-Do

1. study the document “Projects for the HCC Foundation Course” (in “Students’ Projects” on the Wiki)
2. select a project that is of real interest to you
3. find collaborators and form a group of peers (such a group may already exist) with whom you will work on the project
4. sign up for the project (if it is still available) on the site “Students’ Projects”
5. identify parts of the project and an initial role distribution between your team members
6. each team member should contribute
   1. a brief rational what she/he finds interesting
   2. what she/he plans to do to get started on the project

Which project did you select?

Project-5: Using a Location-Based Service to Influence Personal Energy Usage

Describe the parts of the project you have identified and the initial role distribution among your team members

User Account Management: Footprint will need a complete user management workflow(creating an account, password change, login/logout,
Google Maps API Integration: A more accurate way to perform this calculation would be to utilize the Google Maps API instead. Taking this a step further, an interface could be built that allows the user (if they choose) to map their travel path using the Google Maps interface.
UI Refinement: There is opportunity to modify the UI significantly, both in appearance as well as functionality.

For each team member, provide a brief rational what she/he finds interesting

Since, I am currently  working on my senior project where I am dealing with front-end and back-end development so, this project fits very well and I feel like I can contribute a good amount of knowledge as learn from my senior project. Also, I am very interested in UI and the chance to enhance a wireframe prototype is very appealing since again in my senior project I am helping with the design of the UI. 

Luke Mattingly:

I find the easy accessibility of an application to monitor environmental impact. Also the CSS/HTML programming of an application is very intriguing. 

Jacob Burton:

I'm most interested in tying in the Google Maps API. I have done a fare amount of web development, but haven't had much experience with utilizing an API such as Google Maps'.

Aaron Stockton I feel like location based software is where the next major innovations are going to be, and am excited to acquire a working knowledge of such

For each team member, provide a statement of what she/he plans to do to get started on the project

I have never even heard of foursquare, so I will get started by figuring out how their API works then move on from there.

Aaron Stockton I plan on familiarizing myself with the foursquare api
