Check the source code of the projects from Spring 2008, available
here.
You are welcome to reuse the example source code,
but you should document and describe it properly as part of your project report. Your documentation should
improve upon the documentation provided by the previous
year’s report.
This report will be part of your
final project report, so keep all
documentation for later use.
(
Note: Keep all the source code and documentation because you
will need it for future deliverables on your group project. )
