Weekly Research Blog

This week my main task was to finalize my first draft of the whitepaper. I have already created a graphic to explain how the chat system I developed would work. In addition, I got a screenshot of a similar system in use on Purdue's MEL Library's website. I also did some additional research on the skype api and how it can be used to make a voice chat program in the website. I was able to see how to use Python or C# to develop a skype web application. I was mainly concerned with these two languages because they are the most likely languages that Buy.com is actually developed in.

After I had done more thorough research, I was able to write a more complete and accurate first draft, which will lead to a better final paper.
