    Brent Beaudry published a blog post Assignment 4 reflection December 31, 2021 - 3:34pm
    As I near completion of assignment 4, I think I've progressed enough to be able to adequately reflect upon it. I have to admit I found the project a little daunting in the beginning. The scope of it seemed to be more than I could handle in the...

    Brent Beaudry published a blog post COMP348 Course Reflection December 31, 2021 - 3:19pm
    With only a few things left to do on the last part of assignment 4, I figure this is a good time to relect on the course. I've gone through COMP268 and COMP308 to get to this point, and I can say that COMP348 was a nice extension of Java...

    I actually found this much easier than assignment 2. The poem of the day program may be the program  that takes the least anount of time to complete in the course. Adding markers to the text file and using regex to read between the markers for...

    This assignment for me was a little more difficult, but no overly so. I had a trouble at first with formatting the logging, but I got it eventally. I started with SingleFileHTTPServer as instructed, but I found myself using more and more JHTTP...

    Brent Beaudry published a blog post Assignment 5 Reflection November 13, 2021 - 2:10pm
    The material for assignment 5 was interesting for me to cover. I am a top-down systems thinker and much less of a fine granular thinker, so this part of the course was a little more interesting than the more detail-oriented diagramming of some of...

                For this assignment, I think the most difficult thing for me was to keep the essay to the three hundred word limit. I tend to pontificate and fall victim to being overly verbose,...

    I enjoyed doing assignment 2 and learning the content it covers. Now we are getting into the meat and potatoes, so to speak, and acquiring the actual tools that we can use in systems analysis and design. I spent many years in manufacturing...

    Assignment 1 brought back many project management memories. As a former manufacturing manager, I was responsible for many projects over the course of my career. I am familiar with the concepts of project and change management and I am especially...

    This course is another along the path that for me includes COMP268, COMP308 and COMP347. The chapter 1 reading was a good refresher with some new insights and interesting details thrown in. I'm looking forward to diving into this material and...

    I must admit I had bigger plans for this unit, but I’ve simply run out of steam. I’m burnt out. Perhaps it the stress of COVID and holiday stress contributed, but I’ve run out of mental energy. I can’t even seem to solve...

    I decided to use unit 6 to incorporate an engaging cursor follower to make the cursor easier to track and more interesting to the main client: kids. I wanted an emoji to follow the mouse pointer. I found a great example of code at...

    I have some experience in web development, although it was briefly a few years ago, so I have a little experience with Javascript already. I have also completed COMP268 (Intro to Java) and COMP266 (Intro to C++) so using programming language is...

    The only API I can think of to integrate to a site such as I am building is the Google Maps API, to incorporate into an activity, and even that is questionable due to the security and privacy requirements. My proposal is to use Google Maps API in...

    The jQuery idea is simply to make a custom cursor that will be interesting and engaging to the client. It will be styled using css, and will be larger and more colorful, which will be much more engaging to the typical client of the site. For the...

    Finding some javascript code to use was as easy as going to www.javascriptfreecode.com and finding something that would work for the primary persona, which is a child requiring remedial or general educational services. Since a primary target...

    The focus for the CSS unit was to develop a look that would be appealing to First Nations, because that segment of the population will be a primary target demographic. I chose to use colours of the medicine wheel (black, white, yellow, red) as...
