January 30th - Basic Database / Repository Development

Team Members involved: Eric Oltean, Michael Del Fante

Eric and Michael set up a git repository for the team to implement version control. This was to ensure that we could all have a code base that we could collaborate on as a team. The Git repository is hosted on the Ombitron servers so it is in a secure location. The Git repository being hosted on there server makes it easy to launch the application on the server.

 The Git repository was setup on Ombitron's servers separately just for our group. Since Eric is the only one that is an employee at Ombitron, they want us to have a separate Git repository for our project. Ombitron uses SVN for their repositories, so Michael and Eric will work primarily on the Git repository and Eric will be the only team member that can push the project to the SVN repository.

Also this milestone involved getting the basic layout of the database setup. For now, we are using a SQLite 3 database for testing and implementation purposes. Eventually, will export the SQLite database into a MySQL database once this project is ready for production.

This milestone was important for our team. By having the Git repository setup this way makes it ideal for code security and version control. It also allows for quick deployment on Ombitrons servers. Getting the database set will make it possible to start working on the back end of our web application.
