Week 5
I continued to explore the technologies we may be using in the FoodTracker. I finished the simple login system using MySQL and Java servlets.
After meeting with the Nutritional Sciences team, I have a bit more direction regarding things to study and learn about. We discussed what features the app might have. Overall, it seems that we need to focus on clean and simple app presentation while processing nutritional information on the server side. We also discussed our target audience, which is young children and their families.
For the next week, I'd like to look into the feasibility of automating our nutritional database creation using some kind of HTML scraping. I'd also like to investigate some of the food classification techniques discussed by the Nutritional Sciences team.
