team_pseudosix Study Management Project

• 

  Finding good software to manage code that plays nicely with GitHub

• 

  Learning Git and Github in a hurry

• 

  Clear idea of functionality and logic of end-product

Inspiration

We are a team of recent MSc InfoSec postgrads. We brainstormed seven ideas:

1 Study Management 2 Protection from spoof wi-fi attacks 3 Business flyers discounts for small local businesses 4 Diagnosing cyber attacks and proposing actions 5 Job Hunting across multiple platforms 6 Remote Assistants for office working 7 Unofficial google analytics

We selected the Study Management idea.

What it does

The main aim is to create a dynamic timetabling tool for students to use when revising using books based on their personal capabilities (reading speed, difficulty of comprehension, time available to study)

How we built it

We broke the task into the following steps:

1 Create a user interface 2 Design interface 3 Create List of user actions 4 Assess user reading speed 5 Obtain book details including find page length 6 Create code for each item on user action list 7 Calculate and display reading timetable 8 Create a weekly notification to allow user to update the app

We managed it as follows:

DAY 1 Worked as a team to learn Git and Github Objectives allocated according to strengths of team members Separate research by team members on assignments Evening meet-up to share findings and discuss next steps

DAY 2 Review project management and tasks for delivery of project Allocate remaining tasks Manage co-ordination and delivery of final product

Challenges we ran into

• Finding the right tools for the job
• Compatibility / inter-operability across different software. This was a major obstacle.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

• Everything. This is our first hackathon.
  
• Learning quickly to work together as a team
• Learning tech content from each other
• Clear, logical approach to project management

What we learned

We've gone from a complete standing start to get to where we are.
We are getting faster and better the more we do Getting more comfortable with tools we previously knew nothing about

New stuff we have learnt includes:

Git and Github Visual Studio Code GitKraken GitHub Desktop Moqups (for interface design) Flask Pattern Matching Algorithms GoogleCloudPlatform DevPost Bootstrap

What we’ve learnt for next time:

1 Appoint team leader up front 2 Clearer understanding of team members’ skills 3 Bring out what team members want to learn / develop / get out of the hackaway 4 We learn most from each other

What's next for team_pseudosix Study Management Project

Greatness, surely. Create and test the application with others outside of hackathon
