CS373 Spring 2022: Anish Roy

1. What did you do this past week?

I spent a lot of time working on my Computer Graphics assignment about skinning and bone manipulation. It is written in Typescript using WebGL. It is been taking up a ton of time and due this coming week so I will be finishing it up before committing to this next phase.

2. What’s in your way?

Not much is in the way right now. The searching/sorting/filtering in the backend has been done and the APIs support it.

3. What will you do next week?

Next week, after I finish my Computer Graphics project, I am planning on working on the backend since I have not done that much this phase. I need to add the buttons to each of the model pages to support the different functions. The API queries also need to be combined to be able to do multiple things at once. I will probably just use React Bootstrap components still.

4. What did you think of Paper 11: More getters and setters?

This Paper was pretty irrelevant and boring in my opinion. I feel like most of the information regarding getters and setters was covered in the first paper and that there is not too much more discussion to be had on the topic. I also do not think that this is a particularly interesting conversation because whatever the standard is, most programmers will just tend to accept it.

5. What was your experience with select, project. and cross join?

I thought select, project, and cross join was interesting. Implementing these commands in Python helped understand how they work, while combined things we have learned previously in this class. This will make it easier to do in SQL.

6. What made you happy this week?

Watching the UFC fight this weekend was pretty hype.

7. What’s your pick-of-the-week or tip-of-the-week?

My tip-of-the-week is to look into Chrome’s developer tools for debugging Javascript code: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/devtools/javascript/ You are able to set breakpoints and see the state of the program at the time of the stops.
