Project Log: May - June
May 3, 2011
Met with Xin Feng, my academic mentor. He gave me some ideas of possibly looking into some research papers on profilers. He also gave me some feedback for my Introductory Seminar slides. I made some small changes and gave my Introductory Seminar to the academic supervisors and other students of BTech. My slides can now be downloaded from this site.

I have made changes to my Interceptor and have been testing it with some sample Contacts data. I implemented the onSave(), onDelete(), onLoad(), onFlushDirty(), afterTransactionBegin() and afterTransactionCompletion() methods and works well in intercepting the queries. I also have the transaction time calculated in displayed in the console.

Met with Edward and Edison to discuss some extra specifications that could be added to the profiler. They also think it would be good for me to create a mock-up of the profiler using a program called Balsamiq Mockups. I have started doing that and have updated my Development Plan to include the extra specifications. I have also added more detail to the project plan/timeline. I have also decided to use Logback with SLF4J for logging.

I have been working on the End of Semester Report. I decided to use LateX since it organises the different sections nicely. Edward has reviewed what I have and seems happy with it. I will need to add more and get it reviewed by Xin Feng before handing it in.
June 5, 2011
Working on report. I have emailed it to Xin Feng to ask for some feedback and if any more information needs to be included. If not, I will just need to add some more details into some of the sections and it should be fine.
June 7, 2011
I have completed my End of Semester Report. Xin Feng also emailed me back saying my previous version was fine and nothing needed to be changed. The report is now available on the resources page.
