CST438 Week 1 Learning Journal

 This week was the first week of CST428 Software Engineering. In this week we started to learn about REST APIs and how to start building one. The program we built this week was based on a user being able to register in a database and create orders tied to their customer id. I also learned how to utilize some new programs such as Spring and Postman. I also gained experience in creating unit tests to validate that my code is performing as expected. I look forward to learning more about complex software projects and how they are built.

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...

CST311 Week 6 Journal

 This week, we developed a deeper understanding of the network control plane and explored routing algorithms such as Dijkstra and Bellman-Ford, focusing on how they determine the most efficient paths for data transfer. We also learned about the SDN control plane, which allows for dynamic network management and routing. In addition to the theory learned this week, we conducted a network lab exploring the use of a basic SDN controller using Mininet and Wireshark. We looked at how Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP), can be used for network diagnostics, particularly for network troubleshooting with tools like ping and traceroute.
