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 too long to get your hands on a book, who knows if you'll still remember how to read by that point! You haven't got all day to dig around Augie Marketplace (even if you want to, because of the infectious UI and warm reminder of you favorite app blog). 

SO, users will be able to search a desired book by title, seller, category, and even filter books by the date they were uploaded! The perfect marriage between in-app possibilities and communication with other users in the Augustana communicating, creating a beautiful, efficient little android app baby. 

Yeah that's right. Team Bandicoot is making Android babies. Stop the presses.
(pause)
Ok, start them again. I just wanted to see if that phrase would really work. It did not. Carry on.

No seriously, carry on. I'll have more for you next week. Don't be so needy. 

Love, 

Team Bandicoot (but mostly Keenan)

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...

A Picture Says a Thousand Lines of Code

The blogpost names do not improve from here on out, folks. But the Augie Marketplace sure does! To be fair it isn't too difficult of a leap from non-existent to existent when it comes to an Andorid app. But we are proud of how far our little project has come along. We are pleased to say the little code seedling we planted has grown into a beautiful android flower. We in Team Bandicoot realize one of the most subtle and overlooked aspects of any app is its aesthetic presentation. When we started this project, rule number one was simplicity and elegance, to provide the user with a comfortable shopping environment. This app is certainly utilitarian, and we want to honor that, though not at the expense of its image. So, here's a first look at our mockup, created in microsoft word, and what we have so far created in Android studio. This level of simplicity was what we shot for. Pretty, no? Simple, and the user experience would be one of familiarity. The app is so easy to g...
