Idea and overview
Gather data that will be used in a future ‘campus locations directions/finder’ app.
How this web service will be used
A mobile device (running iOS) will have an app that will enable an ‘editor’ to gather data about ‘spaces’ and ‘openings’ in the SEQ and TEL buildings on campus. (You do not have to write the app in this web services course. You can test your work with Fiddler or an HttpClient instance.) The data will describe and locate the space or opening.
A ‘space’ is a classroom, corridor, office, or any other area in the building.
An ‘opening’ joins two spaces. Often it’s a doorway, but it doesn’t have to be. (For example, when two corridors meet, there’s usually no doorway.)
As noted above, an ‘editor’ will be able to add (and edit) data. Anonymous users will be able to view some data, but will not be able to make changes.
How to get started
Create a new project, named “Locations”. If you wish, you can create it as a new and clean app, or you can use a ‘template’ app as a foundation.
Next, think about the problem that you’re trying to solve.
Then, begin creating the app domain data model classes. Study the “Class diagram” below. Create some test data in the store initializer.
Finally, for the Building entity, write code for the view models, repository, and controller. This work is due on Friday, November 8.
