Design patterns
Example : a teacher is the only one who can launch slides Example : students can edit the subtitles Example : Microphone detection
 * Model-View-Controller (GoF) : This pattern is used to separate application's concerns. Our project is Web oriented program
 * Singleton (GoF) : Ensure a class has only one instance, and provide a global point of access to it.
 * Visitor (GoF) : Represent an operation to be performed on the elements of an object structure. Visitor lets you define a new operation without changing the classes of the elements on which it operates.
 * State (GoF) : Allow an object to alter its behavior when its internal state changes. The object will appear to change its class.
 * Service Contract - Concurrent Contracts (SOA) : http://soapatterns.org/design_patterns/concurrent_contracts

Project work
Solving critical problems : the API is not working with ambient noise. When we are talking directly to the microphone the API is working fine.

Tests :
 * Fast talking : Dead after 1 minute
 * Slow talking (with interruptions) with music arround : Dead after 2 minutes
 * Slow talking : Dead after 2 minutes

Meeting with Jérôme to have new directions after a quick demo of the app.

Week 6 (February 15th - February 21st)
Studying Socket.io, trying the demo chat, linking Reveal.js with socket.io

WebStorm is a Javascript IDE but too complicated too use for us

Week 7 (February 29th - March 6st)
Transmitting data from client to server with socket.io Working on adding collaboration part (javascript database?) Working the presentation
