Developing phase of the project

The development of AriNET can be subdivided into two main steps:

• 16 + 2 Academical Lectures on subjects related to the project:

  Lesson number	Date	Subject

  6	Ma 26.11	GUI designing using MrEd part II
  7	Ma 03.12	GUI designing using MrEd part III
  8	Ma 10.12	GUI designing using MrEd part IV
  9	Ma 17.12	GUI designing using MrEd part V
  10	Ma 07.01	Evaluator

  14	Ma 04.02	Read-eval-print loop and exceptions
  15	Ma 18.03	Compiling and application launcher
  16	Ma 25.03	Writing the documentation

  Two additional lectures were also given, one for trying to solve the FAQs and one as a workshop on the theme of Tex/Latex.⁴

  Lessons 1 to 17 where given by Dr.Norbert Lehmann and Dominik Jungo. Supervised by Prof. Dr. Juerg Kholas. The additional workshop session was brought to us by Prof. B. Kaup.

• The second step consisted of the concrete designing and implementing of the project. This part was an individual task as we were asked to work on our own version of the project. However during this phase we were able to contact Dominik Jungo, Norbert Lehmann as well as the participants to the project, through an Internet forum. This service was really useful to ask for help on tasks we really could not solve by ourselves. Together with two colleagues (Schorderet Thibaut and Cheseaux Martine), we also organized a one week session, during the inter-semester, in order to share our ideas and solutions.

The deadline of the project was fixed in advance on the 3 of July 2003. By this time we had to handle a bug-free⁵ standalone application. With a sufficient documentation.
