This week was the last week did not feature any new materials and we instead resubmitted some previous programming assignments and prepared for the final. Overall, I really enjoyed this class and learned a great deal about operating systems and how they manage programs, memory and data transfer. This class had given me a greater appreciation for the critical function that the operating system provides. One aspect that sticks out in my mind is the concept of the kernel.

I now understand what the kernel is and how it works, so now when I see a vague error about the kernel in my operating system I have some idea what it is talking about. Beyond that the other concepts explored in this class have helped me to become a more well rounded computer science major.
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 ...
