Hello everyone! :D
Our team No Trubbel will be maintaining this blog throughout the course of our Orbital programme. This blog will serve as both a place for us to reflect on what we have learnt, and also as a time log to meet the Orbital programme requirements.
So let's start off by introducing our project!
Our project is the development of an Android mobile application called NUS Buddy. This app aims to be a personal assistant for the NUS student using it. We will get important data from IVLE and display them neatly and conveniently so the user does not have to keep visiting the IVLE website just to stay up to date. The app will also offer functionalities like an in-built CAP Calculator and Simulator, together with to-do list managers that help the user keep track of their homework, tests, and exams. Basically, NUS students using this app will have a much easier time managing their academics in school. :)
And now, we'll introduce ourselves!
Hi! I'm Nicholas, a CS student who just finished year 1. I am interested in all things computers, which makes choosing a focus area a pretty hard choice. Currently, I am working as a Lego Mindstorms robotics trainer for the primary school level. My hobbies include producing electronic music and EATING. I probably should add "exercise" into that list one day. Anyway, I hope to learn as much as I can from the Orbital programme. Specifically, I would like to gain experience in designing and implementing mobile applications. I feel that such exposure will always be valuable regardless of whether I pursue software engineering in the future.
Hi! I'm Jiawei. A female CS student who just finished year 1 in NUS as well. I'm into reading and gaming (actually I just want to know the storyline, I'm not really into playing haha). I am considering taking Software Engineering as my focus area but I'm still open for choices. During this Summer break, I aim to learn how to design and develop Android Apps, as well as create and design websites.
So to sum up, we hope that this Orbital experience will be as fulfilling for us as it was for our seniors. Future posts will include regular updates on what we have learnt while trying to build the application. We are confident that there will be a lot to write about!
Thanks for reading!
