November 25th - Progress Report

I have began researching databases relating to my proposed project to try and gain ideas.  Seeing the flaws and perfections of similar databases provides a great point of reference.  I have recently overcome illness so I budgeted my time accordingly to ensure I will complete the assignment on time.  The notes I have taken from these sources have contributed a great deal to help develop innovative and new concepts in order to simplify the process of research.  So far I have had no issues staying on schedule and I hope to have my final product finished within the end of this week.

Nov11 - Project Pitch

For my final project I plan on assessing a historical event by analyzing it and displaying the data that is pertinent through visual aids.  I chose the event of President Truman dropping the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan to end the second world war in 1945.  I chose such an event because there are tonnes of accessible resources and information such as speeches, medical data and political effects which can be analyzed to better understand the events that took place.  Examining historical documents such as the Potsdam Declaration and the San Fransisco Peace Treaty will be very interesting to look at because of their political and historical signifigance.  There are also resources such as the transcript of Truman's bombing announcement and audio clips of his actual speech.
