Week 7 Learning Journal

 Week 7 Learning Journal

Part One: Final Research Video Project Planning

The week we continued to work on our final research video project planning. Most of our collaboration was done through our team Discord server. We primarily communicated through chat and our weekly meetings. To create the video we will be using Adobe Premiere Pro along with some free stock footage via EnvatoElements. I think our process was pretty smooth although we do not have a lot of experience producing video so there was a little bit of a learning curve. I am confident we can get the job done though. In the large collaborative projects I think we will need to decide how to break up the work and assign based on the teams members strengths and weaknesses. 

Part Two: Weekly Lecture Reflection

From this week's activities I learned the importance of communicating through presentation. Although I had not thought about it, after reading this week's material I understand why being a good presenter is so important. In my future career I will be doing programming, but I will also need to collaborate and work with a team. We will often be required to do some form of presentation to either present our ideas or showcase what we have been working on. I will remember the skills I learned in this module and apply it to my future work.

CST 370 Week 4 Journal

 This week primarily consisted of the Mid term which encompassed the first three weeks of learning. So far, this class has been challenging, but I am beginning to grasp some of the main concepts. I find that doing a daily review of the materials I have learned helps me to feel a little more confident that I understand. I feel that the main ideas have been computing the time complexity of the algorithm and getting familiar with some established algorithms for solving common problems. I will continue to study the new material and review previous materials to continue to improve.

Week 5 Learning Journal

Part One:  Supporting and Commenting on Teammate's Goals I visited the following teammate's blogs and commented on their goals. Juan's Blog Vance's Blog Part Two: Possible Capstone Ideas The three ideas I have for my capstone project are two different mobile apps and one indie game. For the two apps I am thinking of creating something in Swift, the programming language of iOS. The first app is a passion project that involves a list builder for a miniature tabletop game called OnePageRules. It is an independent miniature game ruleset and already has a web version. My app would take that template and adapt it for iOS. The second app would be a simple star wars app that utilizes an online API for Star Wars call SWAPI. This API has a number of entries related to the Star Wars universe in JSON format. My app would connect to this online API, download specific pieces of data and display them in the app.  The third idea would be to create a simple side scroller game. The game ...

Leetcode Practice Reflection 1.Two Sum

LeetCode Practice Reflection - 1. Two Sum Date:   19MAY25 What I Worked on Today: Practiced doing LeetCode Problem 1.Two Sum. What I Learned: - How to use the enumerate() function - How to optimize possible solutions after considering brute force methods - How to declare a new dictionary (key value pair) Code Snippet I Wrote or Studied: class Solution(object): def twoSum(self, nums, target): seen = {} for i, num in enumerate(nums): compliement = target - num if compliment in seen: return [seen[compliment], i] seen[num] = i In My Own Words: This function takes in a list of numbers and will return the index of the two numbers that add up to the provided target value. The way this program works is that it creates a dictionary called "seen". It will then iterate through the list of numbers and use the enumerate function to keep track of the index and the value of the specific item in the provided list. The for loop will calculate the compliment numbe...
