Prototype Implementation Status

Tools Being Used Web application using Ruby on Rails Hosting on Heroku BUT, with the Xcode tool we plan to: - Create a (practically) empty iPhone app - Loads a web browser that goes to our site - Will work just like a regular app (but won’t do anything without an internet connection)

Implemented Features Tutor search: Can select “Find a Tutor” Can type in a subject and location/current location Can get a list of tutors who teach said subject Can see a tutor’s profile

Implemented Features Tutor search continued: Can select to book a tutor Can select a time based on tutor’s availability Can select a location Can view confirmation details and submit info

(Mostly) Implemented Features Mostly implemented creating a profile Mostly implemented entering credit card feature Filter incomplete Ability to measure distances incomplete

Unimplemented Features Tutor search: Filter incomplete Ability to measure distances incomplete Profile creation in process

Unimplemented Features Task 2 & 3 - Tutor sign up - Recommending a tutor

Helper Techniques No Wizard of Oz Techniques so far Hard-coded Data: - We don’t have access to enough tutors to populate our search - Lots of fake tutors, times, locations, etc. - Our database is fully functional, so if we had real data, it’d work

Prototype Time!

Thank you! Any questions?
