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 things.

We hope Augustana will choose to adopt the framework we have created to provide its students with a school sanctioned marketplace application. The possibilities and utilities are endless. Should they ever need our help, we trust they have our info.

SO. That's that. if you have followed this blog since the beginning, we appreciate your support and interest. Look out for future projects by each of our members. Perhaps we'll find a way to do something together again one day.

We love ya' internet. 

Cheers,

TEAM BANDICOOT

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...

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...
