CST 499 - Week 16

-

The time has come to an end for the CS Online program at CSUMB.  This experience has been many things, educational, challenging, enjoyable, and most of all fulfilling.  Throughout this program, I have been challenged to think outside of the box and apply the lessons and topics learned to many projects and assignments.  After completing this program, I am confident that I am prepared and excited to pursue a career in the computer science field with a focus on networking.  A few of my favorite topics covered were internet programming, database design, and UI/UX design principles.

The fully online aspect of this program is what drove me to enroll in CSUMB.  The flexibility allowed me to work and spend quality time with family.  Having the ability to complete studying, note-taking, and assignments on a schedule that worked best for me is what made this program successful for my learning journey.  I want to thank all of the faculty who work hard to keep this program functioning so well.  It was a tremendous learning experience and I would recommend this program to anyone who wants to pursue computer science but is restrained by time and other external schedules.

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.

  How does React compare to other frameworks you have used for front end development?  I have not had much experience with front end development frameworks.  I have had little experience with JavaScript and HTML.  One thing I noticed about React that is helpful is the ability to have HTML embedded directly into JavaScript rather than have numerous HTML files and JavaScript files.  This is useful in maintaining readable code and code that is easily navigated.
