Worked Performed Design Plan Classes: Each class will be responsible for storing a specific information regarding to a bus. Code Generator will run the application and store all the bus information Methods: Will be responsible for generating specific functionalities and variables Variables: Data extracted and created for overall functionality of application Creation of GainesvilleRTS iPhone application icon GUIs (graphical user interface) designed Interface actions created and linked
Conclusion and Future Goals What I can derive from this work is the level of difficulty in creating an iPhone application Learned Material: Positive: Learning objective-C Learning how to use iPhone SDK and Xcode Negative: Prioritizing order of Xcode Cost of uploading to iPhone application store If I were given another opportunity, what I would do differently would be to have my own Macintosh computer Increase functionality of applicaton: Adding a multi-directional search Adding an estimated time of arrival for any given bus
