Module 1 - CST 336
This week I got to undertake my first serious foray into HTML and CSS. My prior experience with HTML and CSS was quite minimal in its scope and a few years in the past so I do not remember much from it. I found it quite interesting to learn about the style rules and how versatile these languages can be. I had little to no prior skills in building and hosting webpages before this and it was quite fun to create my first three webpages. It was a little tricky at first figuring out how to link to the other files from my homepage, but I believe that I have it set up properly now. I'm excited about the coming weeks as I'll be able to learn more about internet programming and gain new skills which will be useful to me for years to come.

Module 8 - CST 338
They say hindsight is 20/20, what advice would you give to the next cohort regarding this course?
Be prepared to communicate constantly with your teammates and let them know about your schedule, what you will work on, and whether you need any help or not.
How much do you envision using the skills you gained in this course in your career?
I will definitely use the skills I learned in this course. I was able to study a new language, learn more on multithreading and building GUI interfaces, and perhap most fun was utilizing Android Studio to create my own app.
Good job this session! You are well on your way to finishing your degree!
Update your learning journal from what you experienced this week with class.
This week we were able to work on our final project for the course. We had quite a bit of freedom in this project and I decided to expand on the subjects we covered in the last week with Android Studio. For the final I utilized some of the concepts I researched and designed and implemented a game using Android Studio.

Module 7 - CST 338
Have you ever created an app before, either for Android or iPhone? How did it go?
No, I had not previously attempted to create an app for either Android or iPhone.
Do you have any ideas for apps that you could create for recreation? What about business?
I haven’t thought very much about any apps I would create, but I would like to expand my skill set by creating more apps. Perhaps starting out with something simpler like a dice throwing game would be an interesting project.

This week we went through a series of tutorials on Youtube on how to use Android Studio to create our own apps. It was a very fun and interesting series, and I am really glad to have gotten to get a taste of working with Android. I’m thinking that I may utilize the topics we covered this week for my final project and create and Android app for my submission.

Module 6 - CST 338
What experience do you have with UML diagrams?
My experience with UML diagrams has been primarily in coursework where we have crafted UML’s for our projects.
Are they used at your workplace?
No, I do not use UML diagrams at my workplace.
Have you done multithreading in any language before?
Yes, I have done some multithreading in C++ before when working with a GUI interface game.
Did you find Patterns to be helpful?
Yes, simply the idea of creating more generic chunks of code that can be reused multiple times in different instances is appealing, and the possible applications for Patterns is quite expansive.
Update your learning journal from what you experienced this week with class.
This week we had an interesting job working on our GUI card interface from the previous weeks. We learned about and applied multithreading in order to add a timer to the GUI card game and also update the game itself to a different game which was quite fun. Overall the project was interesting and engaging and it is somewhat sad that, I believe, this will be the last group project we have in this course, as my teammates are all quite amazing and fun to work with.
