Summer Internship: Week 2

Week 2:

Current Week Objectives - To learn more about the project, JBoss Drools, more about Agile methodology, and to learn all the crazy acronyms that are commonly used by my team.

At the beginning of the week, I had the IDE on my computer. We use a source code management program called SVN (Apache owned), to check in code and share with our team mates. The software is very similar to Team Foundation Server we learned in IST 240. I went through the Java code in the project to understand it and to see if there was anything I didn't know so I could look it up. I had to learn about Drools, which is a production rule system to create business rules. It is Java based.
I was assigned a story to create a specific business rule using Drools. I completed it during this week.
Hours Worked: I completed a total of 38.30 hours during my second week (June 2nd - June 6th).

Next Week Objectives - Next week I will find out what my next story will be during the Scrum meeting on Monday. I will also continue to learn about the project and everything it is capable of doing. It is important to understand the project completely before working on it.

Key Lessons Learned/New Skills Acquired - I learned to create business rules using JBoss Drools and learned about SVN.
