Project Description Goal – develop a mobile and web application that… Allows customers to easily find food trucks in their area that interest them Provides truck owners the tools they need to effectively market themselves to their customers Ability to input and manage trucks/menus/schedules Ability to push to social media (Facebook) Data warehousing Easy and intuitive to use
4
Requirements Users should be able to search for nearby food trucks. Users should be able to filter search results/refine search. Users should have the option to create an account. Add a food truck vendor to their favorites Rate a food truck/food or post reviews Selecting a food truck on the search results map would show information such as Name Their menu Their current location (and predicted locations, if the food truck owner has submitted a schedule) Their ratings/reviews A description
5
Requirements Food truck owners should be able to make an account that functions differently from regular user accounts. Vendor accounts should allow the owner to input a menu, a description of their truck/food, and a schedule. Social media (Twitter, Facebook...) should be integrated into the app. For example, when a food truck owner adds a new item to their menu, the application could automatically send out a tweet letting the public know about this new food. The application should also collect data for future analysis. The application should at least run on Android devices. Ideally, there would also be a web page users can visit that provides the same functionality as the application. No search should take longer than a second or two to execute. *The system should be able to handle thousands of concurrent users. *Searches should have search suggestions (e.g., typing “Bu” in the search bar suggests “Burgers”), and should have a “Did you mean” that accounts for misspellings/synonyms (e.g. searching for “Brugers” should display results for “Burgers”)
6
Requirements The application’s business list feature should be able to handle at least 500 businesses and sort them into lists according to distance from the user. The application’s business mapping feature should be capable of handling at least 50 locations within a specified geographical fenced region. Business accounts should be able to contain multiple food trucks Food truck map/list feature should be able to locate and sort trucks within a 200 mile radius.

Project Structure/Technologies Used
9
Design Design consists of An Application layer A Service/API layer A Database layer Application will send and receive data to and from service layer Service layer will Handle user authentication and authorization Facilitate CRUD operations to and from database Database layer will handle object and session persistence
10
Appcelerator Titanium Studio IDE Cross-platform Ability to easily port to iOS devices Coded in JavaScript Simple for designing UI’s Compiles to native code Apps run more efficiently Built-in HTTPClient API Allows simple communication to our web service
11
Web Portal jQuery BootStrap Framework for HTML/CSS/JS Consistent look and feel across devices FullCalendar jQuery plugin Provides a full-sized, drag and drop calendar Used for schedule editor HandsOnTable Provides an easy-to-use data grid editor Used for menu editor All plugins available under MIT license One framework, every device
12
API Components Sponsor’s experience informed decisions Java Tomcat for Execution Apache CXF/Jax-RS for Web Server Development Hibernate for Object/Relational Mapping MySQL for data storage Spring for Dependency Injection Swagger for documentation generation Hibernate Search for advanced query capabilities (Spatial) Chosen for simplicity and compatibility with current choices
13
API Design Endpoints are provided to allow CRUD operations for each object type Service produces and consumes objects in JSON format Additional endpoints created to allow for developer/debug-only functions as well as advanced search queries
14
Mobile Application Difficulties JavaScript No prior experience UI Navigation Issues Slide Menu Creation No native module Not always fluid Successes Google Maps Android API v2 Simple implementation Appcelerator support Web Service Communication Built into Appcelerator’s JavaScript libraries Simplified calls
15
API Difficulties Initial difficulty in configuration/understanding of technologies Successes The technology choices have, so far, been more than sufficient Post configuration implementation has been smooth and relatively rapid
16
Budget Server Provided by sponsors Mobile Development Appcelerator Titanium studio – free Not using any custom modules Code hosting Bitbucket – free and private Google Maps JavaScript API v3 Free as long as we do not exceed usage limits Total expected cost - $0
