Preparations

This week, I was hoping to join the BlueBerry crew at their office. However, due to my less than stellar communication I missed Richard while he was in Nelson. He plans to get me acquainted with the workspace and further details this upcoming Tuesday, when he returns.

But I have been working on several things which will help me with main project:

• Splitting my Laptops Linux partition and installing Window

  • BlueBerryIT primarilly uses windows, the platform I will be targetting

  • I’m able to use the full version of visual studio (Visual studio core omits features such as windows forms)

  • Required for the powershell scripts later down the track

• Creation of a windows form app which supports CRUD like functionality for CSV files

  • Practice handling raw data, modifying and keeping changes consistent

  • Practice using a sql database instance as it could be a decent option to store data(if desirable)

  • Requires some uncoupling of features, might be able to use some of the ideas in the actual project

(Yes The interface is kinda gross at the moment )

• Research into the XeroAPI

  • Have set up an account for testing purposes

  • Had difficulty creating a ‘xero app’ via their web interface (Infinite loading) this issue seems to have resolved itself and I can create an app now

  • Watched video tutorials and read documentation to start building an understanding on how I might impelement use of their API.

• This blog post =)

  • Getting into the habit of consistent blogging

  • Has served as a good chance to reflect on what I have done / where I am at

Come tuesday I’ll be diving into the meat and bones of the project and becoming acquainted with how BlueBerryIT operates

Stay tuned for more!
