During our discussions we decided that to learn from our mistakes we would reduce the amount of features and fully focus on three main features , the IOT Kiosk and sensors with the raspberry pi. The nearby clinics with the info from the sensors and the book appointment. For myself I had decided to do all the back end coding like the login and pulling of data from the database throughout the site. It was done simply by pulling data from the database and storing into a class object that was made a session variable. Originally we had encountered issues with the database which was done by Ben at first but I changed a few variable types from unique to distinct so that there would be no need to manually add IDs and instead it would auto increment when adding data. After fixing the database I sorted out all the controls in the individual pages before Janine could apply the UI. I was really proud of the way we worked because it was an improvement to how we worked during the hackathon and I honestly felt that we were really making progress
Additionally to that I attempted to work on pulling data from IOT using Dr Joels sample however I encountered an issue when trying to reference http.net which would allow the initialization of the httpclient class. It could not work and said that the httpclient class did not exist. I tried updating my nuget, restarting visual studio , computer and even tried to repair visual studio. I also unrefernced the class and enabled again but to no avail. I had gone through stack overflow and Googled the issue but couldn't seem to find a solution , after several hours and hours I asked if Benjamin could attempt it.
