Final presentation at HCL office (4th of December, Friday)

In 4th of December, the day of final presentation at HCL office.  On this day, we presented to the employer and got feedbacks from them. Although it was incomplete the project, we still learned allot of thing through this project. Considering the difficulty of this project, I am very happy that we were able to reach about 70-80% completion of this project. The remaining completion were some due to busy university schedule and some technical issues when we were doing the development.

Trade Show of Final Year Project (13th of November, Friday)

In 13th of November, the day of trade show that every group to demonstrate their final year project in the exhibition. There are many employee from different companies and lecturer in Inti college to visit the trade show. 

We were do demo and presented our project to every visitor that came to our booth. The employee did ask question about what is the challenge of the project. The bigger challenge in this project is the difficulty of the coding, which is sapui5, a new programming language that we used to create this application. We never study this language before and the resources of sapui5 are less to do research on web. Besides, this project is giving us an opportunity to learn and the knowledge about sapui5.

This trade show also giving us a big opportunity to view other groups' project. Lastly, our group did not achieve any award, but we satisfied that what we did in our project. Four of us did our best and put a lot of effort in the project.

John suggested to set an email button in notification bar to enable users to send the notification to inform that the expiration of quotation via email. Unfortunately, the email button is not able to set in the notification bar, because the interface is a codes design in the controller. Therefore, we were discussed another method that to set the email button beside the notification bar.
