Spring Projects

  • Parallel Computing Workbook
  • This was a project that we did as an entire class, its purpose was to teach us about parallel computing and how you could operate multiple computers with one main computer. It helped us understand the concept of BCCD - Bootable Cluster CD. The activity also taught us about supercomputers and there utilities & functionalities, also we discussed about the various supercomputers present in the world such as LittleFe and Blue Waters.

  • Spring Group Project: Forest Fires
  • This was a project that involved me and my partner (Joseph Reza) to create an Agent Cubes Model as well as create a similar model in JavaScript. In this project, we researched on wild life fires and found percentages for various variables that are involved in a forest fire such as the number of trees that died, trees that got saved, and finally the number of firefighters that survive the exposure of the heat and smog emitted by the fires.

  • HTML Template with CSS
  • This project included the use of CSS, this enabled me to create a better website in the standpoint of aesthetics as I already had my core done. In this project, I used CSS and altered the fonts, color, added a picture as well as the dimensions of the elements incorporated in the website. Overall, it was the first project that required me to utilize my skills in CSS and it was a betterment of the previous project - HTML Template with no CSS.

  • HTML Template with no CSS
  • This project was the first that introduced hands on coding of HTML and was the introduction to web designing as well as the foundation of creating my own website.

  • CSS Research Guide
  • This project gave me my first introduction to the CSS language and helped me understand the aspects of programming and designing my website. I was able to incorporate several ideas that I learned in the CSS Research Guide to my website and create a better and unified website design.

  • Code Refactoring
  • This project was the first project at Shodor that we wrote code and we used JavaScript to do so. For me this was the first time that I had ever written in JavaScript, but after I wrote a few lines and got exposed to the syntax, I found it as a simpler version of Java.

  • Bouncing Particles
  • This project was a model of things bouncing off a wall, we were given the opportunity to alter the things being bounced and I changed it to rectangles and also we created this model in JavaScript.
