Week 2 & 3

Week 2 was a mixture of wrapping up week 1's activities and beginning week 3's. For week 3 I went through my handful of downloaded applications and using the HIMSS usability scale rated a handful of categories such as "I would use this application in the future" and "I thought the various functions in this system to be well integrated". Most of the applications I had come across were really cool. Fooducate and FoodStreet were two of my favorites yet when it came to actual nutritional content the USDA Foods Application outdid them all with it's myriad of categories and food choices. Honestly, every food and brand imaginable was within the database and the every type of information was available, calories, vitamines, and minerals were all listed in great detail.

I also found out that I will be focusing on the content validation for our application, which I'm really excited about!
