Wow, this is really confusing at first. Really different than anything else I have done before. I guess that this is not really relevant to this summer's project, but it feels awkward to not do some introductions. My name is Sam , I am A student at Pomona college who plans to double major in CS and Politics.
This Blog will be dedicated to my GSOC project for New Visions for New York Public Schools. This blog will hopefully be able to accurately track my progress, challenges, and plan. I met with both David and Andrew yesterday over G-Hangout, and got a lot better understanding of what I'm doing this summer. As of now I am doing two projects, a warm-up simplified "get to know appscript better project, and a longer more useful project.
The first project is just an attendance script that will take all of the students missing on a certain day and then compiling a list to send to each home room adviser, with multiple data points (past absence/trends) as well as all parent contact information.
The second project is basically talking Twilio and making an Appscript API for it; because google voice doesn't have an appscript API we want to make one using Twilio instead. This is to provide a temporary solution for people who want to be able to call cell phones without having to actually dial. There are currently APIs for Java, Python, Ruby, C#, and a couple other languages for Twilio, but none for appscrpt, this is something that I don't yet know how to do so I am reading up on the way to go about this.
PS: I don't have the formatting thing down yet but I'm learning!
