Capstone Ideas.

I've had a couple of different ideas on what I would like to do for my capstone project. But one just really keeps coming back to me. An iPhone Application. 

Just a little re-cap, I work at a wine bar called Tastings: A Wine Experience - located in the Conrad. We are the only Tastings as of right now, but I have talked to the president of Tastings, Penny Maso, and they are in talks of expanding. Either sooner or later, but I do know that they want to start asap. 

I've worked for Tastings for 3 years, since the doors open. Currently I take care/help with their website, but we've been talking about me making a iPhone app for the wine bar. I think that would be something challenging and something I would really want to do for my capstone. 

I talked to Penny & she thought it would be an amazing capstone project for me, and something that could benefit Tastings. I was really inspired to do this because I just think it needs to be done sometime, so why not I just take control and do it myself. 

General Idea --> main screen, wine list, specials, art, wine cellar (so you can mark your favorite wines, know which ones you had when you come back), and eventually a locations tab (to choose which Tastings, and be able to load the certain stores wine list)

Tastings: A Wine Experience is on board with my idea, and I'm ready to get started. :)

    An app could be a really good idea. It could help people out with the wine selection there. You could also put up a calendar that has the dates for special events happening as well.

    I think this is a really good idea, something like an app could really get your company out there. Its also great that this is something that you can instantly launch out into the real world if you get it to work, which I really hope you do.

  3. That really sounds like a great idea. Not too much scope, but plenty challenging. As a user, I would love to have an interactive tasting guide that's connected to a real-time inventory of available bottles. Just a thought.

  4. You've told me this idea before and I still really like it. There are a lot of interesting ways that you could take an iPhone application for a wine tasting. All of the features that you have come up with so far fit well with the idea. I also like that this is based on a real company. I think that this could lead to a very impressive capstone.

  5. I really like this idea. Its something that I may actually use in my everyday life once it is available to the general public.
