Did you plan it out or throw code at it?   Some I just tried to brute force it and threw code at it, but for most I paused and tried to plan my steps.   What worked?   I tried to think what I would have done in python and then tried to find the syntax for a similar solution in java. What DID NOT work? Forgetting the semi colon after every line, every time. How many tries did it take? Not too many. Once I found a solution that worked for one, the problems were similar enough that I could tailor it for the others. It certainly isn't the most optimal solution, but it worked.

  Part One :      Our team was able to collaborate over text and phone calls to organize a divide up the work. It was pretty incredible to see some of the video editing technology that can be used to join images and layer audio over the visuals. Over all, it was a pretty smooth process, but with more time and less busy schedules, we would be able to add more polish.  Part Two :        For this week I chose " A Rosetta Stone for a lost language". This video was about the Indus people and the attempts to decipher the Indus script. It goes over the competing theories on the meaning of the script. It goes over the clues and patterns and how they a computer model to map these patterns .      I also watched "How to avoid surveillance ... with the phone in your pocket". I talks about how surveillance and has evolved in the digital age. It discusses how surveillance worked in the time when wiretapping was literal and how mo...

  Part 1: Help Your Teammates to Develop Capstone Ideas Saria's idea for an app that can help detect a bipolar manic episode really stood out to me. I like the idea of creating something that can actually help people rather than a tool for convenience. Using these newer emerging technologies to really do good and leave a lasting impact is something that I would like to aim for. Part 2: Keep Up With Your Learning Journal I spent most of this week finishing my ethics paper which involved a lot of research into data privacy in general and end-to-end encryption specifically. I also spent a lot of time reviewing the prep for the next course. A background is in C++ and mainly python, so jumping into java could be a rude awakening that I want to be as prepared as possible for.
