Introduction and Research Time!!

Well I went to the meeting with my supervisor and everything went well, I think. I was extremely nervous and freaking out before i went in because to be honest as much as i like my project idea, i know i won't have a clue how to do ANY of it. lol. Well hopefully this perspective will change, i should feel a lot more confident about what i am doing in order to move on. I had a chat with Damien and in his opinion he thinks my project is not a GIS project. It is more an Information System that just uses GIS element (map). I don't even think i will need to use spatial databases anymore, maybe a normal database will hold all of my information as well as spatial information..

I went through the whole project layout and what i see the project doing and is it useful... In conclusion to the meeting i found out that only a small element of GIS will be needed therefore it won't be classed as a GIS project anymore. Also that i need to look in to the technologies i wish to use for this project to succeed. It will be more web based than anything else and i will need to review my web developing skills/techniques, that is if i have any. lol. 2nd year was a long time ago. :( Also to review JSP and ASP and the rest....

Anyway I came out of the meeting with a much clearer view of what i should do and how the user will interact with the whole system. I need to start on my introduction and figure out what I want the overall system to do. As well as this, i need to start researching GIS, web technologies and RSS feeds. Oh and got first assignment, Distributed System, an online auction simulator that only uses Java Sockets and we are getting another assignment in Advanced Internet Development. This should be fun!!!

Oh and Happy Halloween........
