Help
Purpose
I am in the lucky position to be able to write my computer science degree thesis and the preceding
final year project (titled "software engineering project") about developing a midibox application.
This is going to be a two-part adventure, starting with the final year project laying the foundation
i can then build upon for the thesis.
Many of you might know me as a relatively open person who usually tells a selected few about things
in the making long before they reach daylight, and this was true for this too before I was offered
the chance to drop my old topic which I was severly unhappy with and do midiboxes instead.
That's perfectly alright for private projects, but since this is a "public" scientific piece of work
(hopefully) directly benefitting the MB community, I've decided to open this blog so I can show the
midiboxers out there what's going on in the (second?) most important gathering place for boxers this
community has to offer.
Timeline
Now, for scientific work, there usually are deadlines and timeframes applied to make it more
"interesting and challenging" (read: a pure hassle) for the students.
Of course this is no different, so I will start with some basic timeframes in order to lay out the
plan for the next months.
Final year project officially starts on 3-1-10 and ends officially on 5-31-10.
Thesis preparation will begin directly after that (while some stuff can be decided early on, the bulk
of work will fall into that timeframe) and it is due on 8-31-10.
How do the two parts correlate
First of all, I am not going to reveal the type of application and the feature list right now,
because the underlying specification is as of yet still somewhat incomplete and needs to be signed
off by my tutor first in order to be official, so please be patient until that day comes.
What I can tell you right now is that both parts of the project will be useful, standalone applications
geared to the same set of goals, with the first acting as something between a prototype, proof of concept
and smaller brother.
They will both be built around the core32 and use the usual MBHP modules and nothing special or new.
Conclusion
That's about all I was going to share for this first post.
Please respect that I will not reveal anything more or more detailed until I can, so don't bother
flooding me with questions.
I hope that at least some of you will have a peek into this blog once in a while, and that the outcome
will be useful not just for my personal interests
Btw, why can't I post this under the correct year? Did the clock automagically stop in 2009?
