Hello everyone, After a small break isn't it? Time has moved on surpassing us as always it does. We have reached to the end of the semester. Like all the previous semesters we are feeling like " අඩෝ සෙමෙස්ටර් එක ඉවරද බන්! Don't know why SLIIT semesters are always feels shorter and shorter. May be because of the high intensity of the work load ;)
Turning on to the project, we are sleep less and working very hard on it to make it a success these days. Since we couldn't post an update after the sprint one presentation, I will tell you what happened in it.
Our presentation was scheduled to have at 10.50AM. Janitha and I came to SLIIT around 8.30 PM. Since the all parts which were intended to complete in the first Sprint were almost finished I did the integration of them on the night before. So we were bit relaxed and started to complete other documents which should be presented at the presentation. After finishing them we had to move the project from my laptop to Janitha's one because in my lap there is no VGA port so it cannot be connected to the Projector. After moving the project to Janitha's computer every thing was fine except the parts of Poorna and mine! Even though we were sticked to the designing standards and followed a common layout, designs of Poorna and me were bit stretched and messed up in the Janitha's display. Therefore we quickly just drag the things here and there and fixed it up very soon.
After finished correcting the design issues I tried to run the project on the Janitha's lap and I ended up with an strange error! I was confused and after a little workout of observing I found what happened . As always he do Janitha had changed a name of a folder in the project to "හඳුනා ගත්තොත් ඇඩෝරාරාරා...". That was the first time I saw a error message in Visual Studio contains a sinhala phrase. Meanwhile Sankalpa came in to the scene and things got bit complicated as always ;)
There were some modification to be done to the Poorna's part so we were waiting and blaming for him :p because he never comes at time! However before 10 minutes to the presentation time he landed up and adjusted some things in his part, so our system for Sprint 1 is ready to go! Several other groups were bit busier and looks a bit scared. But we were laughing and joking all the time because before the presentations our state is "එන විදියකට බට කරමු බන් "! After the presentation the state can be changed to either "ජී ජී " or " ගොඩ ඒ ". But what to do state are meant to be changed and cannot predict to what. ;)
That was bit late when we called in to the presentation. We went in and plugged the laptop to the projector. The projector was focused very nicely. It was a bit neat than a "කරත්තෙට අහු වුන කජු ලෙල්ලක් ". When we try to make it correct, a panel member said "It's okay you can continue". So Janitha started with the presentation and at the end of his part a panel member called questioned him (We call him target process for love :D ) Then that was my part. Then Poorna and Sankalpa presented accordingly. From each member they asked questioned and pointed out some problems in the code. We accepted them and said that we will fix them in the next sprint. The main thing the panel members was going after was the coding standards and the architecture. Actually we have not used an architecture as our supervisor told us it is not a must to use an architecture. However we though of refactoring the code to enhance understandability in future.
The group who presented before us was inside the hall for around 45 mins. But it took only around 15mins for our presentation. According to our assumption "එක්කෝ අපි හොඳයි . නැත්තම් කෙලවිලා අපෙන් අහන්න දෙයක් නෑ කියල හිතෙන්න ඇති". How ever as we found out later we have performed well according to our supervisor's comment.
Thats the story of first sprint presentation. Now we are nearing the deadline of the project and this is an extremely busy time period because we have several assignments to do on other subjects and Final examination is coming up. The story till now after the 1st iteration presentation will be posted very soon. Till then we pray "Oh! Lord, Have mercy on us!".
