Winter Term Blog Post #2

Today we’re going to be talking about technology. Not technology in a general sense, but technology as it applies to our Furever Matchup Project. If I had to make a change to any of the technologies being used up to this point, I would probably have to say that I’d want to change the server capability. I have yet to get an actual server up and running, so it only runs as a local instance. While this is great for testing purposes, it makes it challenging to imitate or test how things would work with multiple inputs happening at the same time, or even if multiple people were making edits at the same time to the same profile.
I don’t think that it will be something that is really difficult to implement, but it is something that I’m starting to think about more because I think that it will be an important aspect to how it functions overall. I think that we already have in place the technologies that would be needed, so it’s more a matter of just getting it into place.
While this isn’t changing the actual technology itself, it is more changing the functionality or improving on it. I still think it is becoming an important part that we need to get set up so we can test everything in a more natural environment to what it would actually be as an online application/website.
On a side note, I was just realizing that to create shelter profiles we currently have it all set up to require that the shelter require with a lower case ‘s’, but I feel like this is really kind of odd, so maybe I would look at changing how that is set up.
Overall, everything is coming along nicely, everyone is working well together and communicating openly and efficiently. Everyone is completing what they are committing to, and the project is starting to come together quite well.
