CST 499 Week 16 Learning Journal

 This is the final journal entry for my CSUMB journey. Reflecting on the past two years I am amazed at how quickly it went by and how much I learned. I am also very proud of this accomplishment as a college degree has always been a goal of mine and I know my family will be proud. I am very thankful for the opportunity that the CSUMB program provided. I was able to pursue my degree while working a full time job. I look forward to using the skills and knowledge obtained in this degree to transition to another position related to technology or software development. I am also looking to pursue a Master's Degree in AI to further my skill set. Overall, I am very happy I was able to participate and complete this wonderful online program and recommend it to anyone looking to pursue their degree in Computer Science.

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 ...

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 ...
