ICON

For about five seconds, I considered simply posting the lyrics to Jaden Smith's "ICON," and leave it at that.

Because that, ladies and germs, is exactly how influential I believe this app will be: Jaden Smith level influential.

Jokes aside, things are going well. Augie marketplace has a fully functioning database system (run through the aforementioned Firebase) and a gmail login system, a sweet profile management system (look out Facebook) and an evolving look that will make the app smooth as a baby's bottom (I'm a sort-of professional - don't you judge my similes).

We are definitely looking forward to the upcoming demo at the end of week seven. But for now I would like to give you a bit of a precursor - our official icon for the app. This is essential to making the app recognizable, as well as maintaining its visual connection to the great academic institution that is Augustana College. We are proud of our school and the knowledge it has bestowed upon us.

Knowledge is power. With great power comes great responsibility. And we believe our responsibility is to save students hundreds of dollars on egregiously priced textbooks.

This is how we plan to save the world.

Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego( 's Stuff she posted on Augie Marketplace to Efficiently Find and Lock Down a Buyer)?

Oh, I'm sorry, is that title too LONG for you? BOO HOO. Did it WASTE so much of your PRECIOUS TIME with its OBNOXIOUS pop culture reference and OVERLY EXTENDED parenthetical? Am I WAY OVERPLAYING this SARCASTIC line of questioning? Well that's nothing compared to the amount of time you, as a highly valued user of AUGIE MARKETPLACE, would waste trying to find an item in a poorly structured, impenetrable android app made by a bunch of shmucks! You'd waste a whole lot of time! We got you covered. We may be shmucks, but we respect your time. The app currently allows a user to search for items by Category, Seller, Date Uploaded, and Title. If you can't find an item in this search system, there's a chance it just doesn't exist. I swear, I searched Waldo on this thing and it came up with circled pictures of him on every page of every book. I'll never have to look for that striped trickster again. No really. ...Ok not really, I found thos...

Farewell

Real life photo of Team Bandicoot riding off into the sunset Whelp, we made it folks.  The final release of Augie Marketplace was a big hit. The audience roared, cheered, and showered us with laud and gifts of gratitude. The app was smooth as margarine in a turkish bath, and the idea was immensely intriguing to the augie students present. We had 'em all hook, line and sinker since the first minute of the presentation. That all beings said, we simply cannot deny the fact that this whole fiasco is done and over with. For the four of us, anyway.  Team Bandicoot is immensely proud of the work we have done on this project. We had our high points and our low points, but in the end, we developed a high quality application with legitimate potential for improving the Augustana experience. We each individually learned so much about ourselves and our abilities during this process. Now, with graduation imminent, it is time for all of us to move on to bigger and better...

Demo Time

The time has come. Like a hibernating bandicoot emerging from its underground abode to hunt its ferocious hunger away, Augie Marketplace is almost ready to be unleashed on the public (in a controlled setting of course. So more like a hunting bandicoot in captivity, being oogled at by parents trying to keep their kids from jumping into the enclosure). Now, I may know absolutely nothing about bandicoots, as displayed in the last paragraph, but I do know this app is coming together gorgeously. Let me explain. Our core functionality is looking good, meaning we are finishing up sprint 1 with a bit of breath left. A new user can: 1) Create a profile (gotta have that social media presence. Won't be long before the Kardashians all have profiles) 2) The profile can be added to the database (don't want to lose track of any of those cheap book options) 3) Add a book to be sold (complete with all its info, such as title, author, and tensile strength) 4) Search for a book you are...
