1. Principles and practices & Project managment¶
Starting the first week with Setting up our websites and Planning our Final projects .
Website Planning¶
I decided to use the website template provided by the academy . As I was a complete beginner in website development . In order to have a local copy of our website where we can edit then upload changes , We need a software. It was recommended to use SourceTree as my GitLab GUI (Graphical User Interface). But when I attempted to download and run it , It would fail for no obvious reason. Turned out that the problem is that I’m using Windows 8 OS and it’s not supported . Searching for an alternative , I came across GitKraken with a good load of positive reviews . Only comment is that it’s not an open-source software , Yet it’s free .
Setups¶
Simple steps :
1- Gitlab Account Provided by the Academy.
2- Gitkraken Account
3- Clone the website to my local drive
4- Implement SSH key to allow pushing edits to the website

Dramastic change¶
GitKrakin got annoying refusing to open my raspitory , wasn’t so sure what’s the problem and of course was unable to fix it . So I switched to the cute Aurees
Very simple and easy user friendly GUI .
Helpful Codes to get started (Will be updated constantly)¶

Tips¶
Great website for compressing images’ sizes is TinyPNG
Planning the final project¶
Final Project concept :¶
Being a mom to an awesome middle-aged cat who needs constant attention about his health , I’ve always needed a device to assest in that . but all I can find was a pet feeder . I want to make something that can provide more : mentoring food and water , bathroom visits , maybe entertaining as well .
Product thinking :¶
This project should be useful to anyone having trouble tracking his pet’s behaviour . It should enable the user to control & monitor how much his pet eats , drinks & visits toilet . I’m thinking about a food despencer , maybe some mechanism & a sensor to track how much is eaten . I’m considering motion sensors to detect drinking and toilet visits . Maybe a screen to show data as well as transfering it to a phone . Still working on how this whole thing could be functional in the case of having 2 cats .
