Web Development I
Understanding how to develop basic web applications using specific popular technologies (Linux, Python, Django, Sqlite, Bootstrap, jQuery, AWS) but the skills gained are intended to apply more generally.
My Schooling
Relevant University of Utah Courses
Advanced Databases
Studying the principles of structured information storage and retrieval, including relational algebra, normal forms, integrity constraints, and transaction processing and synchronization. A fundamental aspect of this class is the study of underlying algorithms and data structures used by a database engine.
Software Practice II
This course is about the tools and skills needed to effectively work on software projects in a team setting, from inception to final product. This includes utilizing various software development strategies to complete group projects. A secondary purpose of the class is to understand C++ software development. Along with the C++ programming language, this course looks at development environments traditionally associated with C++ (linux terminal, makefiles, etc.). Additionally, understanding C++ design patterns and frameworks that are actively used in modern software development.
Design Thinking
Illustrats the importance of the design process, critical thinking, human-centered design, rapid prototyping, visual thinking, needs assessment, human factors, and multidisciplinary team dynamics.
Computer Organization
An in-depth study of computer architecture and design, including topics such as RISC and CISC instruction set architectures, CPU organizations, pipelining, memory systems, input/output, and parallel machines. Emphasis is placed on performance measures and compilation issues.
Designing Human Centered Systems
Understand multiple prototyping approaches, and explain the benefits of using different fidelity, media, and evaluation techniques Describe clearly the HCI design process and understand the trade-offs between quality of designs and resources like time. Develop interactive prototypes for clearly-defined tasks using an object-oriented approach.
Software Practice I
Practical exposure to the process of creating large software systems, including requirements specifications, design, implementation, testing, and maintenance. Emphasis on software process, software tools (debuggers, profilers, source code repositories, test harnesses), software engineering techniques (time management, code, and documentation standards, source code management, object-oriented analysis and design), and team development practice.
Discrete Mathematics
Introduction to propositional logic, predicate logic, formal logical arguments, finite sets, functions, relations, inductive proofs, recurrence relations, graphs, and their applications to Computer Science.
