CST 336 Week 6

 

WELCOME TO WEEK 6

Learning Journal

This week was slower than others in terms of lecture material because we focused on our project and took the time to plan accordingly with the other team members. Last week, we came up with a plan, but this week, we had more meetings and discussions about the project. We also gave each other time to study for the upcoming exam.

This week, we learned and practiced concepts related to authentication and sessions. These techniques ensure that users cannot skip pages without logging in. This is particularly important when handling private data. We also focused on using Bcrypt to hash passwords. This is incredibly useful for keeping user passwords secure and preventing unauthorized access or exploitation of loopholes.

These skills will be highly beneficial for our project, as users will have separate accounts. I can't wait to apply everything we've learned in the upcoming group project!

Networking will also be beneficial, as job recruitment has changed f...

  WELCOME TO WEEK 7 Journal:       This week has certainly made me look back at all the things I learned in this course. The challenges I faced and breakthroughs as well. I think back on the assignment "Jotto" and remember the difficulty I had because I was new to Java. With the things I learned, I feel there would be different approaches I could try. When I worked on "Markov," I felt much more confident and had less difficulty completing that assignment. It felt really good passing all the unit tests and having the correct output. Another assignment where I felt really good was Project 1, although there were instances where I had trouble, I was able to successfully accomplish the goal. I feel I understand access modifiers and their purpose compared to the beginning. I also feel more comfortable, as the weeks have passed, working with Room Database. At the beginning of the project, I was worried and confused, but the more I practiced, the more ideas that would p...

WELCOME TO WEEK 7   Part One:      The group has done a excellent good in collaborating and keeping the process running smoothly, especially thanks to Luis, who was able to get ahead and start the research. We have been using Discord to communicate and share our work for the team's Final Research Video Project. With the completion of our recordings, the next step is editing.  Soon, we will be able to integrate them into the presentation. Afterwards, we will add the finishing touches that are needed.  Part Two:      This week's lecture assignments  were to review TedTalk videos and presentation resources. The TedTalk video I chose was "Why AI will Spark Exponential Economic Growth" by Cathie Wood. She focuses on the new innovations happening today . The innovations mentioned include Artificial Intelligence, Multiomic Sequencing, Robotics, Energy Storage, and Public Blockchains. Cathie explains that what used to happen in Moore's Law ...
