Liam's Computer Science Learning Journal

           Amidst editing a live document and determining sections, we have successfully doled out our respective roles in the video and have been checking in as we make changes to the document. Discord has been immensely useful in having easy access to each other and a collective spot to leave ideas and make progress, our #GroupAssignments channel has made it simple to organize a space to collaborate. In a bit of a similar approach to our Industry Analysis outline, we have settled on an outline that covers an introduction followed by history with sections on a particular problem and solution in Internet access finished off with a conclusion. So far the process has been incredibly smooth, time will tell how easy collaborating on the video itself will be but given our previous work as a team I am sure it will not be an issue.          For my weekly reflections, I feel I revisited and learned a lot about being a strong presenter and a...

          My teammates and I are on a similar wavelength when it comes to formulating ideas for our Capstone projects. There are about 3 main umbrellas of software projects that we have discussed where we mostly or all have some intersecting interest in learning more about the topic or wish to work on it further. Firstly, we are all interested in applications or sites that offer a service, projects that became highly marketable tools were both impressive in their presentation and creation. We were discussing an interest-based matching service that is strictly platonic and meant to build communities locally, as well as a teammate's highly sophisticated cookbook app which would automate a lot of the research process for new or tried and true recipes. There is a lot of embedded software engineer work out in the world and this teammate already holds a job in this field so an opportunity to learn more about that from an amazing and intelligent source would be in...

  Part One: Support and Comment on Teammates' Goals Week 4  - Ethan  Ancora Imparo: CST300: Module 4 (Week 4)  - Matthias   Part Two: Possible Capstone Ideas I would like to model my three sample project ideas off of inspirations from three particular Capstone projects.  Firstly, I appreciated Stuff Ride for its real-world application and potential as an everyday app for the general consumer. If I were to create a project at this level, I would hope to be incorporating a similarly hefty blend of front-end and back-end that went into Stuff Ride and would additionally hope to make it a mobile app as quickly as possible. My app/site for taking on an everyday consumer need by employing another user would revolve around similar principles. What is a service that users can provide to each other? The first that comes to mind is tutoring services as I'm sure just about every other type of exchange is accounted for in the app world. And not simply just academic tuto...

Note: My industry professional contact preferred to stay anonymous for this blog post, but I have provided his information in my private Canvas submission for verification.            My industry contact is an Engineering Manager for a healthcare software company where he oversees a team of software engineers that create data solutions for the healthcare technology sector. When I mentioned that I was in school for Computer Science with a concentration in Software Engineering, my coworker who is married to this industry professional put me in contact online. After connecting on LinkedIn and quickly glancing through their various SWE and management roles, I knew I had found an invaluable interview subject who would not only answer my questions but additionally provide questions I wouldn't know to think of as well as new perspectives from within the industry. While I did ultimately ask all of the suggested questions, the natural conversation led to a few ...
