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.

Post Demo RUSH

For those of you unfamiliar with the term rush, here's some bad google stock photos: Looks like our little AOL messenger guy there owes the other two money. Good luck with those stubby 2d legs, pal. ANYHOO. These images are important because it is an accurate depiction of what team Bandicoot will be doing with our brains and our computers for the next three weeks. Sprint numero uno went extremely well! But we can't get cocky.  The responses were all positive. The idea is solid, and the functionality we have now earned us little to no criticism.  Right now we are most concerned with making the app more efficient when it comes to finding certain products. We want the time period between when you log in to Augie Marketplace, and when you discover in the first chapter of you gen chem textbook that you should be an English major, to be as short as possible. We also realize that today's youth are flighty creatures with short attention spans. If it takes t...

Out of the Frying Pan, Into the Firebase

I'm a sucker for a cliche blog post name. So sue me. Team Bandicoot has hit the ground running. Which if you are familiar with the anatomy of bandicoots, is tough. They have tiny little legs. Anyhoo: STEP 1 - The profiles Augie Marketplace will boast an easy to set up and maintain profile system, providing security to our users, while still allowing them to link up with other students of interest. For this purpose we will be using Firebase, which utilizes a Realtime Database system.  First and foremost, ol' Augustana College loves their google platforms. Everything we do here in Rock'nRoll Island is based off a school issued email and password. It is essential that Augie marketplace can be accessed in the same way.  So even before we attack the Firebase Database system to achieve real-time syncing  between our clients, Avash "Firebase Face" Shrestha is working through a google sign in system so we can keep those Augie students happy and comf...

Team Bandicoot

Hey! Hello! Namaste! Welcome! Way to go! You found the official blog following that raucous group of software developers, Keenan Odenkirk, Madison Altiery, Amanda Moore, and Avash Shrestha. Together they are..........(pause).............(for effect).............(almost there).............(and)............ TEAM BANDICOOT! Name copyright pending. Avash has a fist fight scheduled with the Crash Bandicoot game developers on Monday. He's scrappy, but there's a lot of them. So we'll see. Who are we? Well, we make software. In one specific area? No, we do it all. We are on the cusp of graduation from Augustana College, and plan to use that potential energy to drive into our projects with force and vigor. Stay tuned, kids. We've got some real cool stuff on the way. -Keenan
