- Coding the interface for our project.
- There needs to be to separate main interfaces; one for our phone operators/admin and one for the vehicles themselves.

- None.
[edit]
07.09.2008
- Have finished basic interfaces for the SplashForm, LoginForm, AboutForm, VehicleForm
- Difficulties:
- Most problematic thing with coding the user interface is getting the positioning correct. It is not a halting difficulty, but is simply one of the joys of coding in a non-visual environment.

Quick Reflection
I found this subject to be highly useful in helping me to realise that software really needs to be carefully implemented, and that correct analysis can provide a truly superior end result.
I got the opportunity to work in a team that had a range of skills that we were able to utilize, particularly my own in interface design, Peter Perera's in implementing the server, Tim Mifsud's in handling mapping issues for our prototype, Rachelle Gharios' and Smita Pati in database development and implementation and Denish Ardeshna in applying certain patterns and styles to our work.
