Week 2 PPJ – Ryan Smith (Nightlight)

As far as this week goes, what I primarily spent time on was meetings, meetings, and more meetings. Admittedly I only attended two of the meetings, but both were quite productive, and helped me to get a better feeling of where the project was going this term.

The first meeting I attended was the code meeting with Boyd; we both went through the code from Nightlight, and I managed to get a feel for how the project was constructed. I also added some of my own input, and give Boyd some new ideas. Though it was a decently short meeting, I overall think it was a successful one, with both of us coming out ready to rock.

As far as the design group meeting goes, I mainly attended to give a code oriented viewpoint to the group. While I didn’t participate too much in this meeting, I did my best to be helpful when they wanted my opinion. Overall, though I had to leave a bit early, I think the meeting was a success.

Finally, my last bit of work was setting up organizational stuff. I didn’t spend too long on it, but I did set up the Teamwork site with some preliminary tasks for this week.

This Week:

Code Meeting – 1 hour
