Part two: Possible Capstone Ideas

This list will most likely change as the classes progress but these are three ideas that I have been thinking about.
  1. An app that splits the bill for you and a group
  2. A program that makes documents HIPAA compliment
  3. A game similar to Wordle but that can be played online with friends

Part three: This Week's Learnings

This week was the first official week of the ethics argument paper.  My outline was completed and I have started to put together the first draft.  An ethics argument contains many components; An issue, stakeholders, the argument question, the stakeholders' arguments to the question, and the position the writer is taking.

The difference between an inference and an assumption was also made.  An inference is a conclusion that something is true because something else is true.  An assumption is assuming something is true without questioning it.  Loaded words are also something that writers should stay away from because they can cloud judgment and persuade someone's opinion.  Logical fallacies are also something that every writer should stay away from.  A fallacy is a failure in logic that tends to diminish the effect of an argument.  Fallacies are common and something that always needs to be watched for.

This week I was troubleshooting an issue that arose from the previous week's work.  The layout of the page was affected forcing all of the content to the bottom of the page rather than the top.  This was fixed by implementing CSS directly into the div tag as I did not want to change any of the global CSS files.  Next, I plan on looking through the issues page and selecting some bugs/features to implement.  I did not face any challenges this week, mostly trial and error until I solved the issue.

 The Agile and Plan and Document (Waterfall) processes are very different.  In the Agile process, iterations or sprints are used to complete smaller tasks rapidly whereas the Waterfall process follows a predetermined timeline for deliveries.  The Waterfall process is usually used for very large projects and takes much longer due to each delivery being reliant on the previous one.  Also Waterfall process uses a large chunk of time to rigorously plan everything at the beginning of the process whereas Agile allows for changes throughout the process because of the smaller deliveries each sprint.  This allows for quick and simple testing of each delivery versus the Waterfall process that usually begins to test near the end of the final deliveries because again each delivery relies on resources from the previous.

Setting Goals Setting goals is a vital skill that everyone should practice.  Education and Career goals are some of the most important goals to set first.  My education goal for the CS online program is to complete all courses with A's.  Although a high letter grade is sought after, personally it is not the only thing that matters for my education.  Understanding and applying what I have learned is just as important as passing the class.  Struggling through long study hours to ace a test and then forgetting everything because my brain was so exhausted is not ideal.  Taking my time and learning from my mistakes will ultimately help me ingrain the knowledge for this program.  Career goals after receiving an education are just as important.  I have already started to think about what these goals are and how I am going to accomplish them.  One way of doing this is by defining short-term and long-term goals.  Short-term I would like to intern...
