Final Logistics

Congratulations to everyone on getting up to demo day, things are almost wrapped up! As you all know, the final code hand-in is at noon on Monday. By the time you all make it to lecture, the project will be complete.

Monday's lecture is going to be a series of groups presenting the work they did for their final apps, competing for an as-yet-undetermined prize. The TA team is going to meet tomorrow to put together a set of nominees, we'll email those teams by the end of the night tomorrow. If your team is nominated and you choose to accept, then you'll need to put together a short (a few minutes) presentation for the class on Monday. A few slides and a live demo of your app should cover it. The instructors will then select a winner to be announced during the final lecture on Wednesday, December 14th.

Good luck to you all as you finish things up over the next few days. The feature freeze has begun, so you can't add *new* features. Use this time to add polish, fix bugs, improve documentation, write tests, and apply all the best practices you might not have had time for up until now. This is the home stretch, finish things up on a high note. Happy hacking!
