Idea

Paavo's App is a simple campus app for Lappeenranta University of Technology Campus.

App follows more or less general design guides provided by Microsoft by using Panoramaview. Teams goal is to create prototype with limited functionality. Functionality that hopefully is working by the end of codecamp is at least workin restaurant menus, RSS and exam timetable. Application will use Google AppEngine as a back-end to provide menus for restaurants in JSON. Other information sources are at least school's UNI portal and LTKY website.

Motivation

All this info is available on the web, but you need to open your web browser and navigate to the web-pages in order to get to that info. We wanted a faster, more convenient way. We had many ideas on what features the application should include, and decided that this idea is doable, considering our starting skill-level.

Tech

We used Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 and the Windows Phone SDK 8.0 for developing. Application was tested on Nokia Lumia 800, 920, LG E-900 and C-900 (which had Windows Phone 7.8, 8, 7.1 and 7.1, respectively) Adobe Photoshop Creative Cloud was used for the graphics. Git was used for version control and keeping (hitting) heads together.
