App Button and new logo for the main page

Today Vanessa gave us some designs she has been working on for the apps home screen button and A logo for the Where to? on the apps main page. 

We are going over them and will make a decision soon.


We can do it.


We continue to work hard on the app. The map is coming along and as you can see above the UI is coming together. We have the plotting system working slightly but we need to work out a big with the map scaling. Two buttons have been added to zoom in and out of the map.
Above you can see that two points have been plotted. They aren't in the corerct positions but it was to test if it's working on the phone. Now we just have to work out the scaling issue and we will be all set.

Phone gap testing is a GO!

So we have started testing the basic app structure on android and iOS and it seems to be working well! A bit more development is needed. But we are getting there!

New Suggestions for UI!



On Friday, 3/7/14, the whole class met to discuss their projects. The changes I've made here were the suggestions made by our fellow classmates.

UI's for Marketing Meeting

Here are a few different designs for the home page after getting feedback from Paul and Marketing.

These designs show different ideas for how the floor buttons would look.


This is going to work!

Its been a busy week. We have been working hard on new UI designs and finishing the final javascript for the loops and arrays. We have found that our programming theory is going to work.
The javascript below shows our final arrays. We have each floor divided into an individual array. Each array will contain sections that contain a room number or room key word paired to the x and y values on the vector map. Each floor array is then placed into the buildingArray. This is the main database that will be searched.
We also have the actual vector map placed into the app's test window. The map is in an .svg format or Scaleable Vector Graphic. This allows us to scale the image without distortion or quality loss.
Below is the code used to insert the .svg image. It is an object placed into a <div> tag. This creates a seperate box for the map to reside.

Once You Know Where You Want To Go, You Just Have To Get There.

 Its an exciting time here at camp Where To?

We decided on a new name for those who have been following along on our journey of development.
This week we aim to have our static UI designs approved by the staff of FLCC's marketing department.

This will allow us to plunge into building the app in Dreamweaver and really getting the project off the ground and into a real product.

Below are the final UI designs Katie has completed based off our ideas and our peers inputs.


I (Peter) have am working today on building the arrays in Javascript that will control our search functions and the actual structure of the app.

We are very excited to begin the coding and design and hope our followers are too.
