1. Project 1 submissions, which are technically due this morning,  will be accepted any time and won't be considered late. Please lower your expectations, get something running, and submit. I will run your apps over the weekend and have you show me your code during lab on Monday morning.

2. Our two remaining lab series from Big Nerd Ranch Guide are top priority during labs today and tomorrow. Today--photo viewer as an example of a web service, tomorrow run tracker as a demo of gps and sql-lite. Please complete work on these labs before you turn your attention to other projects. The only exception is that groups will need to work on the challenges when they show up. We will see your work on the last set of challenges on Thursday morning.

3. Here are some guidelines for and info about final projects. Projects should not be too ambitious, but should be highly personal/not generic. Think "cute", "fun", "handy", rather than "impressive" or "massive". Getting started on a project that you may expand after this course is a GREAT idea. You may join classmates in teams (1, 2, or 3) if you like. Post your topic and team by Friday (I will provide a moodle forum). Presentations will be Tuesday morning and the final code will be due by the end of the day Tuesday. Project will require substantial commenting and javadoc will be used as documentation and presentation tools. Github will not be required, but I will show you how you might use it from Eclipse.

4. It will be fun to finish up CrimeTracker if you get the chance. I will have you show me Monday in lab how far you got on that.

5. Best Practices presentations will be Monday morning, will be worth 20 pts. of your homework grade and will include slides of some kind and a question and answer suitable for Exam 2.
