CST438 Week 8 Journal Entry

The top 5 things I learned would be:

1. The agile process. This process is used in many companies to get work done so it is critical I am knowledgable in it. 

2. GitHub/Pull Request because working in a team we have to share and collaborate on code, so learning how to merge conflicts and do so together are important. 

3. React is a big one because many software engineering positions require react knowledge so having that skill is amazing. 

4. Using AWS is important too because thats how majority of things are deployed. By being able to deploy my own projects and other projects makes me more valuable as a software engineer.

5. Lastly, being able to put all those 4 skills together is important. It's easy to be good at deploying on AWS, or one singular item above, but being able to do everything and being a complete programmer is the best thing possible.

Capstone Week 9 Learning Journal

This week, I accomplished finishing the Google Agile Essentials certificate, along with starting the last certificate I have, the Google data analytics certificate.

I do not need instructor assistance, but I have alerted them of my situation.

CST 462s Learning Journal Reflections

What went well for me was the ease of accessing the work I needed to do. Once I got credentials to the website I was able to do everything I needed on my own. Along with that, being able to meet with my supervisor was so easy and we always had great communication which made the process so simple. I always knew what she wanted and always took the constructive criticism.  Things I would improve would be to try to incorporate more Computer Science work into it like HTML or CSS, versus just using a website builder, but she and her organization are not literate in HTML/CSS so it makes sense to not use it so they can edit it later on their own.  The most impactful part was being able to do work for an organization that I also support. I support eating plant-based meals to not only further my health, but also the Earth's health. I know there is a lot of environmental impacts that plant-based meals have. I didn't face many challenges, but there was sometimes where I didn't have the...
