Final Project Summary

Version 1 of the Final Project must be submitted to pass the course.

Your team will complete a coding project in the latter stages of the SDLC. See Final Project Overview.docx for more details. In Blackboard (Bb), a team is called a "group".

There are many details involved in the final project. Without good project management, academic group work can be a nightmare.

Set up personal development tools for the project:

• you can use any compiler you want. Prof. Andrei's video tutorials demonstrate with gcc installed for the sake of simplicity.
  
• optional command line C compilers:
  • Windows users can use Microsoft's cl compiler
    • cl (Microsoft) compiler https://youtu.be/rqLbyj0TnIg
  • Mac users with Xcode or Visual Studio Code already have gcc

MS Office 365 Teams

MS Teams has become an industry standard collaboration environment to develop projects. Because students are not authorized to create their own MS Team, the team leader should follow these steps to create a "private channel" within your class Team.

Sign on to mySeneca.ca,

• from the MS Office 365 grid menu, start the Teams app. Consider installing the local client version of Teams for better performance and ease of use.
  • click on the Teams icon in the left sidebar.

Within the class team, a Private Channel will be the repository for your team's assignment artifacts (project files).

To create a private channel, start MS Teams.

1. On the left, click Teams icon.
   In the next column, find your class's CPR101XYY team, click ••• beside the team name, click Add channel in the drop down menu.
   
   
2. Channel set up
   • Channel name: "Bb nn" and your two digit Blackboard group number. e.g. "Bb 01"  (note the space after Bb and the leading zero)
   • Under Privacy, change from Standard to Private - Accessible only to members of the team.
     • Please do this carefully because Teams does not give us the authorization to modify this setting afterwards.
     • If the Private setting was missed (you don't see the lock symbol),
       • Edit the channel and rename the team to Bb 0n Standard,
       • delete that channel,
       • recreate with original Bb0n number as Private.
   • Select Next.

3. Type in the name or Seneca user ID of each team member.
   • People must already be members of the class Team. If not, contact your professor.
   • Add your professor as an Owner
   • Select Add.
   • 
     the result:
     
4. Post a message in Bb 0# channel's "Posts". Type "@Bb [Enter]" which will alert all channel members.
   Post to the attention of one or more individuals using @member_name.

People you've added will see it appear in their channel list with a lock next to the name; the lock indicates a private channel. To see everyone who has been added to the private channel, select the Open people pane or click the ( i ) at top right.. MS Support: Create and use a private channel
