In the Iterative and Incremental Development, small progressive pieces are used to build up the new software. Each piece has to complete some activities in a restricted amount of time and once those activities are fully completed, the piece is added to the system and the specifications must be checked to see if are accomplished. This cycle continues till the system is absolutely developed. Within the case of errors throughout the iterations, the process cannot move forward until there is a totally functional outcome. The IID guarantees that even in a bad case scenario, the minimum requirements will still be delivered. Taking into account the above, the application developed for this project will be divided into smaller pieces or features that will be develop sequentially. Once completed, the new part of the application will be incorporated in the existing code if there are no inaccuracies. This process will go on until completing the entire application. An essential part in software development is the project management. The author of “Software Engineering”, Sommerville thinks that the project success is not guaranteed by a good management, but a bad management does normally result in project failure. Usually, the projects are separated into smaller, individual tasks and activities if they are complex and need additional amount of time to be developed. A schedule has been created for this project and the Gantt chart can be found in Appendix B. Building new software requires a set of tools and technologies appropriate for the particular project. For that reason the first step was to select between different tools in order to develop the best product. Following are the tools and options selected for this project and the reasons why... ... middle of paper ... ...ware development environment offers an extensible plug-in system that permits developers to adapt the environment according to their needs. Android Development Tools (ADT) is Google’s custom plugin that uses Eclipse and contains Android Software Development Kit and core libraries for Android development. Therefore, Eclipse turned into the most popular IDE for applications development for Android OS. Another alternative for this project was NetBeans IDE, but having to choose between then Eclipse seemed to be the better option since ADT supports this IDE. E. Android SDK In order to develop a functional Android applications it is needed the respective API libraries and tools. Google provides these essential tools for the project in the Android SDK. Along with the API libraries, Android SDK comes with an emulator that allows the developer to run tests on the computer.
Electronic Text Many people will argue that history began with the advent of the written word. Before books, history was passed by word of mouth and was often lost or altered as it went from generation to generation down through the years. For many years now our civilization has enjoyed books, journals, newspapers, magazines, and many other types of writing. We use these literary tools to record our lives, to invent stories from the imagination so powerful that they make writers into millionaires
Postmodernism, Deconstructionism, and the Ethnographic Text Anthropology 575 Postmodernism In the late 1960’s the social sciences (mainly anthropology and sociology) entered a crisis period in which traditional ways of conducting the study of the Other were re-examined in the context of their association with dominance-submission hierarchies and the objectification of the subjects of study. There was seen to be an association between Western imperialism’s objectification of the
Text messaging is a very controversial subject in our society, possibly even in other cultures. Some complain that texting is overused and abused while others praise the most recent developments and upgrades of texting. The pervasive use of text messaging in today’s society has many facets; however, the bad is said to outweigh the good. Any individual’s perspective on the issue will most likely depend on their age group or social class. For example, a fifteen year old would appreciate the convenience
Introduction Research Question: The effect of text messages on students writing skills at the University of the West Indies. This Topic has intrigued the researchers interest and as a result this proposal will be investigating how text messaging and the affects the writing skills of students that attend the University of the West Indies. This topic is indeed worth studying because of the poor English skills that students are experiencing. I have also had personal experience where as a result of texting
Not Looking at Pictures - Not Reading Texts Here are two persons in an open, empty space. Bound by walls, they are its contents. Now they exit, walking down corridor after corridor, filling and emptying rooms as they go. Four feet strike the floor in steps: two beat regularly, forming measures, and two more land off the beat, sounding irregularly, introducing syncopation; but when the steps intersect-as they now do-there is diaphony, which displaces our memory of the sounds that preceded it. A
Analysis of Semantics and Pragmatics in Two Texts Linguistics is the science of a language. Linguists depend on the use of certain aspects in order to analyse, describe and explain a human language; these aspects include semantics and pragmatics. Semantics can be defined as the study of "meaning" of lexical words and expressions independently of context. Where pragmatics is the process of recognising the "invisible meaning" of lexical items and expressions; taking into account the speaker's/
According to Robert Scholes, author of On Reading a Video Text, commercials aired on television hold a dynamic power over human beings on a subconscious level. He believes that through the use of specific tools, commercials can hold the minds of an audience captive, and can control their abilities to think rationally. Visual fascination, one of the tools Scholes believes captures the minds of viewers, can take a simple video, and through the use of editing and special effects, turn it into a powerful
Text messaging didn’t just develop overnight, it developed over time. Text messaging first started in the early 1900’s. The first text message ever sent said “Merry Christmas” on December 3, 1992. This message wound up being sent by Neil Papworth’s computer to Richard Jarvis’s mobile phone. It’s unusual to see a text message sent from a computer to a phone. Everyone is used to text messages being sent from mobile phone to mobile phone, but there was growth to get to that point. In 1993, Nokia took
In today’s culture, one of the fastest ways to communicate with others is through text messages. Text messages are a form of electronic messages sent from one cell phone to another minimizing the wait time for it to be sent and received. Through time text messages have transformed into its own writing system. From the use of spelling, grammar to the unregulated space in the orthographic regime, text messages have created a distinctive linguistic identity. This texting speech also known as “SMS Langauge”
Papworth sent the first text message reading “Merry Christmas” to Englishman Richard Jarvis (Shannon par.1-2). Papworth was un aware that this simple greeting would have such a drastic impact on cell phones. As of 2000 all cell phones have the ability to type out and send individual letters of the alphabet. Thus, millions of Americans have become obsessed with the text message, sending out and receiving billions of text messages on a daily basis. Most teens today would rather text than talk on the phone
ile text messaging is a more efficient way to get in touch with people than face-to-face or phone conversations, it ultimately leads to a lower degree of personal communication. This method of communication leads to a significantly greater degree of misinterpretation than oral conversations because of the unavailability of such nonverbal cues, such as facial expressions and other body language, as well as tone of voice. The use of text messaging as a primary mode of communication will ultimately
While I was driving to my house the other day I received a text message. Instantly I grabbed it and answered at the same time I was driving. For just a second I distracted myself to see the cellphone instead of paying attention to the road. When I looked again at the road I realized that I had just passed a stop sign without noticing! Why are we so obsessed with cellphones? Why can’t we wait to answer? The problem that I would like to address is the addiction to mobile devices and communication.
Integrating Texts and Graphics into Your Writing My advice for students about integrating texts and graphics would be to figure out how to combine them most appropriately for what you want to convey, whether it be an informational article or a creative story. In most cases, especially in technical writing, the main purpose of graphics is to explain something faster or organize the information better. Last spring in technical writing, we focused a lot on how to use our graphics in our final proposal
means to confer with another or others in order to come to terms or reach an agreement. The basic idea of it seems pretty simple, and in fact negotiating is something the majority of us do on a daily basis either at work, at home, anywhere. In the text "Getting To Yes" by Roger Fisher and William Ury, they describe their four principles for effective negotiation. They also discuss three common obstacles to negotiation and how to overcome them. The four principles for effective negotiation are to
Beowulf From Early Anglo-Saxon Text to Hypertext This paper describes the combined use of Mosaic and the World Wide Web as tools that will both allow scholars and researchers to examine ancient manuscripts without the risk of physical damage to the manuscripts, and facilitate greater general public access to the material. The British Library is currently engaged in a project to establish a full image archive relating to the transmission down the ages of one of the earliest known Anglo-Saxon
