Week #11 (11/7 - 11/11)

So Phase three of WC has been going a lot smoother than the previous phases in my opinion. Part of the reason for this is that for a lot of the features we've been able to find libraries that already exist and simply plug them in with minimal code. This has really sped up the process and has also allowed us to distribute and parallelize the work across the team. Over all I would say that this is definitely the least stressful out of all the WC phases.

Part of the reason that this phase is more enjoyable than other phases is the fact that it's pretty open ended. The only real requirement we had was to implement search, while everything else was left at the discretion of the team. It's nice to have that type flexibility in a cs porject since usually you're working off a specific spec provided by the instructor. In fact I think this is the first time at UT that I've had a CS programming assignment that was this open-ended.
