Day 5

As expected, our day began with stand up which was decently short today; Rachel was also back with us today which was nice. From the end of stand up until the start of lunch, Mary (one of the employees at Field2Base that works on digitizing forms for other companies) gave us two forms to work on for new companies. Today’s forms were a bit different since we had to not only connect the forms to an excel sheet, but we also had to make the forms function by writing true scripting code in JavaScript. JavaScript is very different than regular java, but we were still able to translate some of our knowledge over from Java and other languages to make it work. Additionally, they had very well written documentation of how to use each function that they had built in to the software. Once we were done with the two forms, we ate lunch outside and enjoyed the weather. After lunch, we had a video call with Ravi who is the only employee that works remotely for the company. It was interesting to get more insight about working a job where you can’t physically interact with your co-workers. We spoke for roughly an hour before we ended the call. Once the video chat was over, we spent the rest of our day working on another form that Mary assigned us to complete.
