13. What can I learn? • Security, stability, and speed • Maintaining a website that has many users
15. Students vs. Teachers Students • Hard to add a citation • Notes don't make sense • Collaboration is difficult Teachers • Not easy to look at different students projects for same assignment
16. Why NoodleTools needs fixing • Unintuitive interface • Students need help doing simple tasks • Tedious and time-consuming
17. Test-driven development • Write the tests first, then the actual code • Clean, efficient code, but slow
18. Spaghetti code • Messy, inefficient, and unorganized • What does this do again?
19. Good design is as little design as possible. Less is more – because it concentrates on the essential aspects and the products are not burdened with non-essentials. Back to purity, back to simplicity. — Dieter Rams
20. Back to the essentials • Projects, notes, and sources — that's it • Integrate with Dropbox • Search for sources • Paid plans
21. Scholar and the Algorithmic Process • Scholar is code that I broke off of Noted that handles the creation of citations • Break it into bite-size pieces 1. Order of attributes 2. Formatting for each attribute
30. GitHub • An essential resource for every software developer • Encourages collaborating (thanks to Dirk Gadsden for contributing to Scholar!)
31. Stack Overflow • You are not special — everyone has had the same problem you're having
32. Collaboration
33. I'm now a better programmer • The importance of documentation and code cleanliness • The value of planning realistically • What does it actually do?
34. Where is Noted now? • Ready for public beta! • Create and collaborate on projects • Adding more and more citation types • 101 bugs and enhancements down, 52 to go
35. What's next? • More citation types (website, journals, etc) • Source search and research tools • Dropbox integration
