Need to finalize the artifact after getting feedback from a presentation of
the first prototype.
Activities
1. Present the first prototype on 20 July 2012 by using website & some user interfaces on iPad (Finished on time)
2. Present the final prototype on 10 Sep 2012 by using video presentation, website and application on iPad (Finished on time)
Issues
1. Developing on iPad by was really slow because I was not familiar with the objective-c language. Therefore, the first prototype was
mainly presented on .NET website. However, I could take advantage from creating .NET website because it could test web
services developed before implementing on iPad. 6
