After the first attempt in IA

In this week, Mr. Pete told us about the basic requirement of IA. After all the classes I have learnt about the goal of IA and the purpose for me to do an IA. Also, while my previous study of Microsoft Access, Java and C, as well as talking to my classmates, I decided to do something that can help all BNDS IB students. Therefore, an application that can be used to collect, analyze, and organize the daily life of IB students came to my mind. And then, Irish, a classmate from 11IB came to me about her ongoing project which can be used to helping student organize their daily life. I was very interested in it, since it can help me enhance my application in aiding all IB classmates. At the same time we run into the problem that we are short of money on opening an account for Apple development account. Therefore, we decide to ask Mr. Vivas, our IB coordinator for help. From this I also learnt about how important resources are to one's study and professional workings.

The writing of solution scenario and timeline for this IA makes me have a clearer mind of what is going on in my project and help me to keep track with it. And with the more I write my IA, I discovered the elements that are important to my future work as a Computer Science engineer.

All from that, I learnt that an IA may not be limited to one person's daily life problem, it may still represents a solution that helps everyone's dream come ture.

My timeline is attached below.
