Week 11 - finalising our project

The project is nearly complete and we have been contacted by Jack advising he is in Alice Springs!

This means several sections are not complete!

Having other courses will probably mean we will have to sacrifice some work to complete others.

Pretty disappointing.

So the Google API zoom in/out features need to be sorted out.

CSS is still not where it needs to be.

That being said, the site is looking pretty good.

Final Project

Well we got it done, maybe not everything we wanted to do, but it's done!

Here is a screen shot:




We were able to provide a help function and social media sharing using the FB authentication.  We were also able to show a graph for the year scrolling bar, which indicates where the majority of results might be.

However, the piece of Javascript that works amazing is the pie graph breaking down where the news report is coming from.  This makes the whole searching far more interesting that we could of thought of!

In summary, it's a shame we lost a team member for the last 4 weeks, we really didn't see that coming.  When you are reliant on someone to keep their end of the bargain and they don't do it, it's a real shame.  The lesson here is that we should of held him accountable as per the team charter and we didn't.  Had we done that, we would of found out earlier that he had left University study altogether and could of progressed more in the project.
