CST338 - Week 15, 16

Homework 01 Hangman - Reflection

For the Hangman assignment, I feel much more confident about extending classes, and how best to implement interfaces or extending abstract classes. 

For other assignments, I feel a lot more confident about the GymLog assignment because our group's final project uses similar design patterns in it. Specifically, I can create activities, bind a layout to them, and have them be interactable with a listener set up. I'm having ideas of how I can make some rudimentary apps with this knowledge. With this, I have a better understanding of how android development is like. I had no experience with it prior to this class, and I am happy to see a project being developed on an emulator in real time.

Isopod Update: I haven't looked too closely, but I think there is an imposter black panda among the panda kings...

CST300 - Week 4

Week 4 has been busy! I have gotten work done a lot later than I would have liked. Part 1: Education Goals My educational goals would be to expand my knowledge about Javascript. The most tangible project to put this in practice would be to create a simple interactable website, possibly using React as a frontend. One of my ideas for a capstone project would be to create a website for a tabletop game I am developing, so the practice would be great for it.   The first step would be to learn about networking -- CST311: Intro to Computer Networking and CST336: Internet Programming would be where I hone these skills. Before these classes, I would like to create a single-task web app as a practice. It would have a starting list of about 20 items, and allow the user to arrange them into 6 specific item slots, like a digital pin board. Then, once I am in these classes, I will look back at this project and see what I can do differently or what I have learned since then.   My web develop...

CST300 - Week 2

CST300 - Week 2 Part 0: The CST300 Module 2 Lectures      The Peter Diamandis presentation "The future is faster than you think" provided the insight on how fast the world is operating, but at the same time, more people are gaining an education and are enabled by the internet to achieve more. I find that the talk was a bit self-serving, in that this talk was given at Brightline Initiative in the Silicon Valley, and not given in a country that is still underserved to this day. Searching the Singularity University up on Google did not give me a good impression of their current deeds either, with embezzlement, SA, and discrimination given to me first, then my actual question after (the location of the university, in Silicon Valley).      The article "The Future of Software Engineering: Key Emerging Trends in 2024" begins as a discussion about the current downward trend of software engineer openings. Much of the future of software engineering involves AI in so...

CST300 - Week 5

Part 1:  Support and Comment on Teammates' Goals My comment on Cody's blog.   My comment on Claudia's blog. Part 2: Capstone Ideas      I've seen two projects in Week 2: DriveDiary by Christopher McMichael & Jeremiah McGrath and Out of Mana by Nathan Simpson. These two interested me as ideas for a capstone project -- a web app for a project, and a video game.     The third project I viewed was Cue Tracer by Kyle Absten, which was a database of sourced audio log files. This one stood out to me as a good project that has a much wider audience than the standard computer science audience -- in this case: videography, filmography, broadcasting, the music industry, and others. Creating a searchable database that catalogues a specific hobby's published material can also be a good idea for a capstone project.    Three possible capstone projects for me are: A web app for an in-development tabletop role-playing game written by me. Th...
