Timetable

The first thing I decided, I wanted to do was to create a timetable for this project. So I knew exactly what had to be done and how long I had to do it. This would stop me having to do it all last-minute. There are 9 different sections to this project one of these is idea development. The duration of this task will be  8 days long, I will have to form a solid idea of what I would like to do for my project and start to think about how I will undertake this.


Then I will work on my presentation development. I will make my presentation in PowerPoint,  which will include all my research and my explanation of my final project.  I will also included visual aids to help get my idea across. I allowed myself 6 days to put the presentation together and a further 3 days for the presentation run through. I want to make sure I knew exactly what to talk about in my presentation.


Once I have got a concrete idea and have done to the presentation I will then start to work on the design for the project. this is an important part of my project, I want my project to be aesthetically pleasing. I have allowed 5 days for the designs of my project.


Once I have undertaken all of the research and planning I will then start my coding development. This is when I will actually create my project. From experience it is quietly easy to encounter issues during this process, for example a piece of code does not work and you spent maybe 3 hours trying to work out why that is, this can be very long process. So I wanted leave myself a substantial amount of time to actually get my project working, so I left myself 12 days to do this.  I also wanted to make sure I tested my program to make sure that there were no bugs.  so I will leave 6 days to get the project fully tested.


While I am creating my project I will also be development of documentation. I will be updating this blog to document my working progress, my thoughts and my ideas. This will be a ongoing thing throughout the project, but will mainly take place when the development of my project starts.


 I have to create a webpage for my project and documentation to be hosted on. The URL of this page is what will get uploaded and marked. I want to create a custom page based around my project, this will host the final project, a link to my blog, my readme essay and the appendix about my project. I have given myself 11 days to put together and finish this webpage.


 The last step I will undertake will be proofreading all of my documentation. I want make sure everything I write makes sense and is relevant. I have given myself 3 days to proof read all of my work, I will also get a second person to proof read it as well. Then on 1 May I will  submit my URL which is my final project. I worked out that these 9 steps would take me roughly 51 days.
