Project Progress

The last couple of hours have seen some assorted progress.

First, I worked on my requirements documentation. This is always a good place to start.

I then worked on DFDs (Data Flow Diagrams). I learned about these in my Systems Analysis and Design class and hated them now just as much as I hated them then. By the time I was done burning an hour and a half, I have a document that almost looks attractive but I'm afraid doesn't convey any useful information.

Next, I put together a flowchart. I wanted a document that gave a better idea on what the heck is actually going on because, honestly, the DFDs were stupid.

Finally, I put together the story board! This is where most of me wanted to start the whole process but I'm really glad I held off. Building the other documents (mainly the requirements document) really gave me some better ideas on what the interface should look like.

I meant to take my timesheet to Master K. after sparring this evening but I forgot. Since I didn't have my storyboard together at that point, and almost none of my other documents were things I think would have helped in the showing to Master K, I'm glad I didn't.
