The professor go into more details about team project in class last week.  The team project is due soon.  Not sure on how difficult the project is until I meet with my group and actually start working on it.  Hope it won't be that difficult.

There were a lab on that day.  I had trouble in lab because my previous lab wasn't done correctly.  So I have to go back and fix my old lab.  Everything went smooth once I fix my old lab.

Was absent on that day.

In class we talk about SAP XI.  We did a lab using SAP XI tools.  The most important thing was the naming conventions.  You mess that up, you pretty much mess everything up.

There is many different views people have on defining what is web service?  In class we discuss web services, it does somewhat help me understand but at the same time make it more confusing. 

In class there were a discussion about an article.  It's seem interesting and it would be nice to find out if the company actually reach it goal or not.  The other part of class was a lab exercise involving VB.  I were having trouble with the exercise, the problem was simple error like spelling.  One mistake mess up basically everything.

The integration exercise given in class was difficult.  Lucky it was a group exercise, not sure anyone could do the whole thing by him/her self.  Even in a group, we still wasn't able to complete the whole exercise.  At the end of class, it is nice to get different views from each group on how they were going to integrate.  Some were similar to our group while other was totally different.  In my mind there are many ways to integrate databases, but its all come down to cost and time.
