This course is the capstone (final) Software Development course I will be taking to complete my Computer Science major at Worcester State University. We will be working with the LibreFoodPantry project (https://librefoodpantry.org/#/) to develop software for use in managing food pantries.

This project is free and open source (FOSS) which seems like a good way to ensure that anyone who is interested could modify and improve aspects of the software without running into legal issues. Developing software as free and open source opens up more possibilities for creativity and improvement over time since there are less barriers to entry for working on the project.

I am excited to begin contributing to the LibreFoodPantry Project over the course of the semester, and look forward to gaining experience working on a larger-scale project with a team, as much of my development experience comes from smaller scale development that I have done largely on my own.

Learning to work as part of a larger group will no doubt prove to be valuable experience in terms of preparation for creating software in a workplace environment, as software development often tends to be a group effort.

Software Development, Project Updates, Learning new Skills & Technologies

9/8/2020

With this blog, I will post updates for various projects I am working on, technologies and software that I find of particular interest, and general programming, technology, web development and game development topics, as well as information on things I am currently working on, including personal projects and practice in various languages and frameworks.

I hope to eventually replace this blog with a self-developed (non-wordpress) website as I continue to study web development topics and design.

What I’m Working On In September

– HTML, CSS, & JS (trying to update my skills with most recent HTML and CSS technologies and frameworks)
– Software Construction, Design & Architecture Course @WorcesterState (course at Worcester State University concerned with building and designing software, learning skills associated with software development)
– Building a Text-Based Java RPG (practicing object-oriented development skills, structure of a role-playing game, preparing for more complicated game development projects)

Progress on a Text-Based Java RPG game, basic framework for map structure, player and enemy classes, and game logic has been laid out. Currently working on saving player information to an external text file and outputting to a popup textbox instead of the IDE console.

Some CSS code I have been working on as part of an online tutorial. Also pictured are an HTML and javascript file which are part of the same project.
