The last few days have been very frantic as the project is now due at the end of the week. I knew this was comming but i didnt think it would sneak up on me so quickly and just like other uni subjects it seems to be due when everything else is due.

 I have been adding and fixing the documentation to get to up to date and also up to a high standard. I emailed what we had done to Luke and he had a quick look through at the sub headings and told me which is change, add and remove. So i took his advice on board and did that to the documentation.

Parts that needed to be change were simple things like the screen shots need to be updated do to the program changing it looks slightly and more buttons being added to more complicated things such as putting more information into the technical manual of how we calculate a curve within the program. These are now done and dusted. Other members have given them a brief read over and are happy with what is there, hopefully the markers are as well.

I have also being talking to other group members and trying to keep track of everyone to make sure they are all digging deep to put the last touches on the project. Everyone has been working well this week which is what you want to see.

Overall the project has been an enjoyable experience. It has been great working with these people and if i had the choice for the same group to do the same thing I would take it. It has been good learning from Allen with his expert databases skills and also from Phil and Jun with their XNA, C# knowledge by helping me become better at a programming language I had never done before this project.

Now that the project is finished/ comming to and end I think I will give my Dad a go to see what he thinks. Being a junior scout many years ago it will be interesting to see if he can master this program to make some knots that he knows
