CDOT Winter 2015 Initiation

Welcome Back

It has been quite a while since my last blog post, but I promise to submit entries more frequently from now on.

It is the start of a new semester here at Seneca, and I am continuing my 6th semester of the Computer Programming and Analysis program, and my 5th term as a part-time research assistant (RA) at the Centre for Development of Open Technology (CDOT).

This season is quite exciting for some of us as we are springing into many diverse projects with new RAs on-board.

BRAKERS Project

My team is currently working on implementing a Python asynchronous networking server and developing an Android app for BRAKERS Early Warning Systems INC.

Python Networking Server

Neil and I have been researching and benchmarking different web frameworks to be used on the networking server for the Android app. We are considering Tornado, which is a fork of the famous Twisted framework. Tornado is a Python web server as well as an asynchronous networking library, which will allow us to work on the backend.

Initial Android Application

My other group members are developing an Android application to be ready for real-world testing in February.

Weekly Demos and Presentations

Today we will begin our weekly demos and presentations, where individuals or groups within CDOT will briefly demonstrate what they have been working on over the past week or so. Since this is our 2nd week after the holidays, I will be giving a recap of our project and what our team has been working on thus far.
