Development Environment Setup
My work term began with setting up my development environment. This work term I worked both on the passport web application and the commercial mobile deposit (CMD) mobile application. It was a nice challenge setting up my development environment for CMD. CMD consists of a server and a client. The server is written in Java and the client is written in angular JS.
Story Planning
During the month of January I also participated in Story Planning for the next release. It was very interesting starting a coop term at the begining of a release instead of coming in during the middle of the release. I really gained an appreciation for how much planning goes into the release. We created the stories and then sized them using story points.
