CST 499 Week 14 Learning Journal

 This week I started working on testing the core functionality of the app and ensuring that I capture as many edge cases as I could identify. I also attempted to add some polish to the application as it functions but there are a few usability enhancements I made. I tried to improve the interactions in the app to make them feel more smooth and less robotic. I also started work on my presentation outline for submission.

Next week I plan to finish the app and prepare for the capstone presentation. I will also be looking for any minor features that I feel I can add in without compromising the current apps functionality.

There are no challenges I am facing at the moment and will continue working on the app to get as much of it built in the time remaining.

CST 338: Week 4 Learning Journal - Markov Project Peer Review

For the Markov code review I worked with my teammate Brandon Hoppens. My strategy for the Markov assignment was to first read through the entire prompt and ensure that I had a general idea of what the program was supposed to do. I then worked through the prompt building each method before moving on to the next. I built all of the methods and then ran the test after my initial build. I was able to pass a few of the test and failed others. I then went back to the individual tests I failed and manually debugged them. This was in contrast to how Brandon tackled the prompt as he was implementing the methods as they were needed. He worked to ensure each piece that he added worked with the existing code base. I think I would change my strategy to adopt some of his methods and use an incremental approach. I relied on building the entire program before running the first test, and I can see how on bigger projects this could lead to some frustration.  The feedback I received from Brandon was ...

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 ...

CST334 Week 4 Journal Entry

 During this week of CST334 we continued to learn about memory virtualization, focusing on the technique of paging. Paging divides virtual memory into fixed-size pages that are mapped to physical memory frames, reducing fragmentation. We practiced using page tables and multi-level paging to learn how the Memory Management Unit (MMU) translates virtual to physical addresses. We also learned about temporal and spatial locality and calculated average memory access times with paging. We also explored the mechanics of swapping in operating systems and simulated various page replacement policies and analyzing their effects. This week helped me to continue to build on my understanding of efficient memory management and virtualization techniques in operating systems.
