## V1.0 - What We Learned

* Defining the product through Use Cases

  * Using Use Cases we were able to define a clear path as to our end goal, with clear and obvious milestones.

* Pair Programming

  * The project was built by having one person write the code, while the other observed and commented. This allowed the two of us to gain a firm grasp on each other's programming techniques and ideas, and to learn from each other.

  * The use of pair programming and use cases allowed both of us to have the same mental model of the end product during the entirety of the development cycle.

* Using Trello

  * Trello allowed us to visually track our progress, and see consistent progress along our path.

* Structuring Data

  * It's better to plan the structure of your data and the flow through your program before beginning development.

* Using Core Data

  * Learned that Core Data is the primary access into the model layer of the program.

* Things to Change

  * Having a set schedule for work would improve time to production and consistency in development.

  * Use a user story map to collect desired features and fine tune them into a final product.
