The GMS course is near to its end. During these weeks, i have learned a lot. But firstly, I will start to describe what I did this week. During this week, I wrote the technical report in order to explain how our software works. It is complementary to the business proposal because it shows that something explained in the business model is technically possible. It is this document that will be seen by experts to judge whether the project is doable or not.

Let's talk about how I have…

This week, at the end of our project '''Schedulize.me"'' as we planned. I learned that whenever you start a project , some points that you could not estimate before may happen in many ways. And if you dont want this points cause delays on your schedule you need to compansate it with working hard. And it is not easy in some cases. However we as a team followed the schedule almost perfect timing. Even though we have some radical changes in our project by the time, we have found a way to put it…

Everyone must have heard or read about the Joe Biden speech debacle last week. However he brought up an interesting point. “Change only comes from challenging orthodoxy”. I have had numerous experiences where students don’t want to vote, although the voting is anonymous. Student’s here don’t like to speak up against teachers. So how do you change the ingrained orthodoxy? Isn't innovation a process of changing? In a society (not just China, most of the Asian cultures) where you are taught…

During this last week, it was time for the group to finalize the reports in order to give them to Professor Koo. The time was to compile all our combined work in a clear and visual way.

We therefore worked on two different reports, the business proposal, more oriented on the strategy, and the technical report, mostly to explain the technical progress made during this semester, giving information to the reader in the form on an explanation over our current…

First of all I excuse myself for not posting last week. I had no more internet connexion, which induced no posting. Therefore I am gonna make a double post today/tonight.

During the last two weeks, the project has advanced a lot again. Since the math programming has some advance on the website design and programmation, I focused on the advancement of the video during the first week.

This part took us some time, the first part needing to write the script. It was…

During this week, i upgraded the interfece to add tasks on the website of Schedulize.me. The goal was to make something really esay to use and with the minimal number of clicks when a user adds a task. For this, I used Javascript. The interface allows the user to add

Lots of advertisement dollars are spent on products everyday. But then a product gets a lot of media attention because of its merits and suddenly it is a hit in the market. That was a free advertisement, but is it good. Think of it once you gain fame under media attention you are always under their constant scrutiny. One small good deed made you famous, but at the same time a small flaw can be the reason of your downfall. To sum it up media is one of those things that you can’t live without…

This time I want to share a article written by by Nadim F. Matta and Ronald N. Ashkenas and its about the failure reasons for good projects and how to prevent this failures.Actually the part that i am going to share is the reasons for being failed,I think that part show us someway to realize failure…

The "Add a constraint" module must be ergonomic. It must be easy to add a constraint. Without developing here the problem, it requires the AJAX technology which is a combination of Javascript and PHP. Because I need to learn Ajax, I cannot do the module right now. It makes me think about what can happen in a company. A company needs technical skills but because it cannot know what skills it will need in the future, the company must not have the competences that it needs. But the company must…

In the competitive market as of present, where everything is under constant scrutiny. The scrutiny not only comes from the consumer protection agencies (Private, Public, and Government) but the individual consumer itself. There are plethora of companies waiting for you to make one mistake and then your market share is gone. The source of information being digitized, the information travels so fast about the mishap that the company may be leveled to ground in less than a day. The time to…

There has been since the beginning a communication problem in our study group. The fact is well known. Between the students and the professor also.

Meeting Pr. Koo today has been a good thing. This is all about correcting the bad aspects of our team project, in order to present something reliable and worth of spending some time in it.

This is how our team will now be able to present something worth of everybody's time, what was still unclear after so many weeks…

Playing or the other name acting.This is what actors do perfect.But can we play that well?

In dailylife we have faced differerent kind of heavy situations, which at the first comes us impossible to handle.Mostly we run out.However is this the way we should take? The generation after 80`s run with full of passion.Actually based on field investigations,this generation does care passion or power more than the capital.This leads a change in a scale over behaviour…

A presentation in one of my classes got me thinking why innovate if you can imitate. Analyzing it from business point of view, why waste so much time and energy creating something new or coming up with an idea that is for sure going to be imitated. Someone pointed out that, you patent what you invent and its specifications, but you cannot patent or copyright the idea. As human beings, we have thirst for growth. If imitation was the solution we would be at a stand point. Nothing would move…

Developing the website of Schedulize.me is an opportunity for me to program like I used to some years ago. But I can see that since 2008, the technology has changed and a good website from 2008 is really different from what is a good website now. Nowadays, a website must be really functionnal and must use a lot of Javascript because the user wants, for example, to manipulate his timetable with a click and drop. A website can't be static anymore. A website from 2013 must be really simple to…

When you develop a project, start a company, it is always to keep some distance with your concurrents, directs or not. Using new softwares is one of the keys to succeed in this way.

I will develop this idea with an example and a postulate I will make right now : PowerPoint is obselete nowadays.

How can I make such an affirmation ? Actually it is quite simple. It was pretty useful in the past, and we all saw PPT during our scholarship and our…

How does misleading facts or statements while advertising a product affect its future? People who are observant look at the advertisement and deduce the quality of the product. Claiming something beforehand while it has not been realized is a recipe for failure. While making a statement the grammar and context is of utmost importance. “Is” and “Will be” can both be used to declare a feature the product features or will feature in the future. It is important to pay attention to what is…

　　“我们认为下面这些真理是不言而喻的：人人生而平等，造物者赋予他们若干不可剥夺的权利，其中包括生命权、自由权和追求幸福的权利。” 　　 ——《独立宣言》 　　

      “人是生而自由的，却无往不在枷锁之中。” 　　 ——让·雅克·卢梭 　　

      “革命往往会在对苛政‘感受最轻的地方’爆发。” 　　 ——《旧制度与大革命》 托克维尔 　　

        以上三句话分别论述了自由的意义，自由的阻碍，自由的后果三个方面。不过第二句话如果按照字面转化为密尔的解释，可能会有与卢梭不同解释的方式。在本文中，我会结合自由的妥协性并结合以上三句话来谈谈对自由的理解。 　　…

This week, the keyword was "database". I thought about how designing the database in order to obtain something that can evolute through the time. For the moment, I have not programmed in PHP what I implemented for the database, waiting for a confirmation of my work. The difficulty is to save the constraint because it requires javascript but also a good designing of the tables. For example, it must not be possible to add two constraints that are not compatible. What I will do now is to really…

Last week, I accomplished  the financial analysis of our SchedulizeMe project. Though my partners spoke highly of that report, I knew clearly that it need to be improved further. This time, Zoe, who is studying accounting and finance in Beijing, helped me to work this out. She found some technical mistakes in my former report and corrected them with efforts. What's more, she helped me to know the accurate definition of different elements of the financial…
