About RSS Feed

The RSS is not working due to permission issues (cause the blog access is restricted to the authors only -elly howa e7na-)
I made another solution, I automated the operation of sending mails to all of us in case of any comments or updates on the blog.. I think that will do in shaa Allah..

Master Page Design

I made this design for the master page, please comment & tell me wt u think..
Here is a screen shot..

Waiting for comments about fonts, colors, anything...

Hi

There are new updated files "the class diagram and the ERD"

Requirements document

Hi,
I just want to add to what Heba has said that the requirements document is also uploaded under the name GradStats_Requirements Specification_1_1

Hi Guys

Concerning the uploaded folder "GradStats_Class Diagram.zip" it contains the Class diagram for the 'FrontEnd, BackEnd, BusinessLayer, DBLayer'.

I've added also the "GradStats_ERD.bmp" which is the physical ERD under SQL.

Mina please if i forgot to mention something please send it.

Deliverables Comments (Part 2)

First of all I would like to admire the team’s efforts and I have a good feeling that we will be literally the “TITANS” :)

Now for my comments and tips for the current version of the deliverables, they are as follows:

1. Documents Naming Convention
· From my working experience I found out that it is recommended as best practice to maintain a naming convention for the project documents to simplify the recognition of the document and its content directly from its name.
· Usually we use the following convention ProjectName_DocumentName. Feel free to use it or change it depending on your usage.
· Some examples for this convention are as follows:
i. GradStats_RequirementSpecification.doc
ii. GradStats_ProjectPlan.mpp
iii. GradStats_TimeSheet.xls
iv. GradStats_MinutesOfMeeting_20070809.doc
· As you can see using this convention will simply tell you the content of the document by simply reading the name or even the date as in the minutes of meeting example.

2. Developing Class Diagram in Visio
· We need to develop the class diagram to represent the pages in the system as we agreed upon earlier. Try to figure out all the available pages in the system and start implementing the class diagrams for each one of them.
· This will help us later through the code and prototype development

3. Developing ERD under SQL Server
· The ERD that I found on the blog is more of a class diagram rather than a database ERD. I would advise if we use the SQL Server to create the tables directly and extract the ERD by drawing the tables diagram instead to save time and effort later.

4. Using Table of Contents (TOC) features in MS Word.
· I frankly admired the document structure and the level details written inside this document, and I noticed while going through the pages that we need to add a dynamic TOC that would reflect the document sections and its corresponding pages without the hassle of updating it manually each time a part of the document is change.
· To help you with this I thought I would give you a reference on how to add a TOC to your document which will make your life easier in the future updates inside the document:
i. In case you are using older version of Office: http://malektips.com/word_2003_0002.html
ii. For Office 2007: https://www.uwec.edu/help/Word07/AUTO-toc.htm


I am also attaching the project plan as promised, and I need you to ask the schedule owner to start assigning the tasks to the available resources in order to start working on the project plan.

Once again, good job team and keep up the good work.

Deliverables Comments

Team, I am impressed with the work done and efforts put into the deliverables so far. I have quickly went through the documents and have few comments that I will write back to you in a documented format to be considered in the next change.

I liked the Titans logo very much, if you guys made it yourself then let me raise a hat for you, job well done :)

I will consult with Helmy to see whether he has any further comments to add to mine before sending it to you. But till then good job everyone and keep up the good work.

Dear Supervisors

Hi Samy and Ahmed,
we did our first drafts of the deliverables, and some other documents that you wanted. however, we need your feedback on these documents as soon as possible to know if we are on the right track or not. Also, we can get a clear understanding of what a class diagram for this project should be like. what we were able to do is a system architecture rather than a class diagram. please provide us with the feedback as soon as you can so that we can start working on the second drafts. thanks a lot for your time.
