git is going down

So I'm taking some time and getting a grip on git, google code, and version control in general. I spent a couple hours working on being able to upload a project, pull, push and commit.

calSpeed domination jdk1.7

So this week I got hired by Dr. Byun, one of my professors, to work on developing a web based internet speed connection test for the university. It's part of a larger project that my university is working on for CPUC.

So I got some source code from the previous project to get familiar with it. I had some issues running the project in netbeans and I just now resolved the last dependency. Turns out, the jdk1.7 library not only has to be in place but have the exact same title to be linked properly. #littlebugs

C++ to C

So after writing my game prog. homework assignment in C++ I read the prompt to discover that the assignment is to write it in C.

Now I begin the rigorous process of turning cout and cin tokens to printf and scanf tokens.... spännande.

New classes

I'm taking some new classes here at CSUMB. I'm taking game programming which is seeming to be a advanced c++ course, my Professional seminar lecture which is a great load of information on the job search process, and duah-duah-DAA!! I'm taking my bachelors thesis class, which here is called a capstone. I'm super stoked for these courses.

Oh and I'm also taking keyboards 1 =D

Android Development Group

 

Me and some friends have started a club for android development at CSU Monterey Bay. We had our first meeting and everything went great. We were able to run sample apps on the computers which had android preinstalled in eclipse, we were able to run the apps on the emulators and we filled out the form to be an official club.

All in all, super kickass day!

Back from Sweden

First lesson re-learned about Android Programming. All activities must be declared in the android manifest file. grrrrr....

Android +==+ Server Communication

So I'm running a MAMP environment on my mac and I just got an android app I made to sent post data to a webpage and update a database. This might seem super simple but I think it's so cool. It's for my E-Commerce class and I think it's just freakin' epic.

I had to figure a bunch of port stuff out, how to do asynchronous thread stuff for networking, and then how to use a Data Access Layer and a Business Logic layer. At the end of the day, I've learned a freaking ton. =D

GitHub Up and Running

Eureka!!! After three days I've got GitHub functioning on my outdated mac snow leopard machine. First I couldn't install the GitHub GUI because I needed to upgrade to mountain lion, and then the https connection was failing because some error with a "git-remote-https requires version 7.0.0 or later, but libcurl.4.dylib provides version 6.0.0" so weird, but finally I got to be able to connect with SSH. I feel super amazing, I generated a public key with my machine and then shared it to GitHub and viola!

I'm now pushing and pulling files up to and down from the GitHub cloud. E-commerce project - get ready, I'm coming for you.

Selenium WebDriver

So I've been using the Selenium IDE in firefox to learn how to make tests for webpages. It's been pretty fun, but today I started playing with the big guns. I started developing tests in Eclipse using the Selenium WebDriver to make browsers do stuff.

I'm learning about the build paths, java projects, and packaging. When I finally got the first test to run I was so excited- MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! :D

Mission 3 Complete

I'm done with finals and it feels so good. I now have my second Algorithms course, Operating Systems, and Software Engineering, under my belt. Now I'm looking forward to two weeks of vacation and some chill android prog. #goodLife
