CST338: Wk04 Learning Journal Project 1 review

 

  • You can work with up to three people (you MUST work with at least one other person)
    1. With whom did you work?
      I work with Tim Shaker
  • What was your strategy for solving the assignments?
    1. Did you start writing code right away? Did you plan it out on paper? 
      Initially I read the documents of the requirements for the program. I then check the test cases involve within the project. I then started coding the things I can easily understand. I writing the codes of methods that doesn't require any other methods. Once I wrote all the necessary methods and classes needed I check the test cases to see which one fail. I try to solve each bug one at a time until everything passes. 
  • What was THEIR strategy for solving the assignments
    His strategy was to first read the documentation, then scaffold out out the classes and resolve any syntax errors so that the code would compile. From there, he worked on implementing the logic as it was described in the documentation, focusing on getting the tests to pass. After all the tests were passing, he reviewed in output from the tests to make sure it made sense, then cleaned up the code a bit and added some javadocs.
  • How would you change your strategy having worked on the assignment?

  • According to your classmate(s): how well does your code follow the Google Java Style Guide
    • Links to an external site.?
    1. Did you know you can automate applying some of the style guide rules
      No, but I can use this for future projects. My classmates or peers also think I follow the guide properly. 
  • What was the most challenging part?
    For me the most challenging part was fixing the bugs and logic of my code. When I initially wrote the code it seemed fine but once I finish all the method the output wasn't right and the test cases were failing. At this time I have to debug and follow each step one by one just to double check the output of each line and method if there is any.  
  • What was the most interesting?
    Most interesting to me is looking for the defects of my product. Looking for the bug because I missed something. It almost feels like looking for a easter egg on what I did.
  • What are you the most proud of?
    I was mostly proud of finishing the project in time with no major issue. At any point of doing my project I did not had a major issue that blocked me. I was able to figure things out on my own.
  • How did you celebrate completing the assignment? 
    1. If you didn't how will you celebrate?
      1. This isn't a joke. It helps our learning to celebrate and acknowledge victories.  <-- Dr.C just fought for your right to party.
        I Celebrate by going out with my wife and took the Friday and Saturday off for both work and school.

    Week 4

      Part One: My Educational Goals My educational goal for  CS program is to have a strong foundation in computer science theory and practical skills. I should be able to design and develop software programs and computational solutions. Have a more effective problem-solving skills and be able to adapt easily in new and emerging technologies. Attaining my Bachelor Degree in Computer Science is also a goal of mine but I think it is enough. My the actual goal is to pass all the classes with clear understanding of what was taught and be able to retain it and apply some skills that I learn in the future. This goal of mine is a long term and far from being achieved. It will require discipline, consistency and patience. The short term goal that I have is to pass both CS 349 and CS 300. I believe we are halfway for this two courses and I should be able to achieve it soon as long as I keep doing my work and keep my grades up. Part Two: My Career Goal   My career goal as of right now...

     Week 5   Part One: Support and Comment on Teammates' Goals Comment 1: https://edlcsonline.blogspot.com/2025/09/week-4-learning-journal-education-goals.html      Comment 2: https://alexandercsumb.blogspot.com/2025/09/my-educational-goal-in-cs-program-my.html?sc=1759716690276#c3901700382400993030     Part Two: Possible Capstone Ideas (30 minutes) These lists are subject to change but this is roughly what I imagine doing as of now.   CAD software or 3D Design software:  I currently work on projects that develops software to design dental products. 3D design software has always been my passion but for my software it would focus more on general objects that can be printed. It will probably be similar as Blender. I will try to make it as user friendly as possible. This project can help me learn more about graphics and optimization. The only thing that is making me hesitate to do this for future capstone project is the time. But this is definitely ...

         Module 2 lectures focuses on the present condition of business and company. I learned a lot starting from the the state of software industry. Innovation itself moves fast in today's age, and in order to keep up with it, people has to learn to adapt quickly as well. I also learn about different methodologies that company uses for software development. I was already aware of the two present method which are  agile  and  devops  as my current company uses this method but I learned about the continuous method . Essentially there were methods that was used in the pass which are Waterfall, Capability Maturity Model, and Rational Unified Process . I also learn more about project management. I learn that project management is mainly about planning, organizing and managing resources to achieve the goals that the group is trying to attain. Different tools and techniques on project management such as managing constrains that hinders in project development su...
