Setting Up at CDOT

Chaos is bound to ensue for any first time user of ADT and the eclipse environment, especially with the joys and wonders of Windows.

Notes and Issues:

- Touchscreen desktops are near useless for a programmer on Win7, save for the novelty aspect.
- Tortoisehg is convoluted and demands use of terminal commands, thus negating the entire point of its gui. Sourcetree was a much better choice
- Headphones will inevitably stop working for no other reason besides the fact that you are using Windows 7.
- There will be at least 3 instances of Eclipse that you will have to rename accordingly on your taskbar or desktop in order to not confuse and frustrate yourself into oblivion. 

Some references currently being used:

http://www.oodesign.com/ - Great for summations of object-oriented design concepts usually covered in books along with implementation examples that are relatively easy to follow.

http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/wiki/index.php/Mobile_Medical_Device_Integration - The go to website for getting started on the project, including links to its contributors and their blogs, logic diagrams and of course links to the repositories.
