Miguelly GeorgesCIS 4914 Senior Project

April 23 – 9:00 PM

Summary

Motivation:• Increasing difficulty using RTS website: go-rts.com• Difficulties accessing the site on portable devices

Problem:• Need easy-to-use portable version of RTS website• Collection and usage of necessary information

Solution:• iPhone application called: GainesvilleRTS

Worked Performed Design Plan Classes: Each class will be responsible for storing a specific

information regarding to a bus. Code Generator will run the application and store all the bus information

Methods: Will be responsible for generating specific functionalities and variables

Variables: Data extracted and created for overall functionality of application

Creation of GainesvilleRTS iPhone application icon GUIs (graphical user interface) designed Interface actions created and linked

Conclusion and Future Goals

What I can derive from this work is the level of difficulty in creating an iPhone application

Learned Material: Positive: Learning objective-C

Learning how to use iPhone SDK and Xcode Negative: Prioritizing order of Xcode

Cost of uploading to iPhone application store If I were given another opportunity, what I would do

differently would be to have my own Macintosh computer Increase functionality of applicaton: Adding a multi-directional search Adding an estimated time of arrival for any given bus
