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 those on the internet. But how neat would that be? I'm pulling for that added functionality at the next Scrum Meeting.

The search system queries our Firebase RealTime Database and collects all relevant items, displaying them for your viewing pleasure. For most similar apps, a familiar search bar would be effective. But taking into account the size of Augustana's student population, social groups, and class sizes, specifying the method of the search is far more effective.

We hope to get you searching for items soon! Stay tuned!

The Great Augie Marketplace

With the world watching Team Bandicooot on the edge of their seats, it's been tough to dig through our idea notebooks, searching for that one software concept to rule them all. At long last, however, we believe we have found the application that will take the Augustana community by storm, and vastly improve the student experience at our wee liberal arts college. Introducing.... The next... BIG... THING! (Cue confetti cannons and fireworks, release box of doves, fire off a 21 gun salute to Queen's "Don't Stop Me Now") I asked for all of that to be in the budget, but Avash shut me down. THE AUGIE MARKETPLACE! An intuitive, easy to use marketplace app, making the buying/selling of goods at Augustana College stress free. Team Bandicoot sat down and wrapped about what bothers us about going to school at Augustana. By and large, the most passionate response was the distaste for the augie book buyback process. Four bucks for a three-hundred dollar book? I...

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...
