14th week: API

     A tuesday back again at class. The class started with our professor calling us for attendance and after he started our discussion about API.

    We discussed about API. We started with the lessons with the questions: What is an API?, Why are APIs important?, How do APIs work? and then we proceeded to the protocols. We also learned how to To make a valid HTTP request which are the  URL, Method, List of Headers, and Body. We are also able to differentiate XML and JSON. And we also tackled a key component of API which is authentication. And how do we design API. We were also given API examples. The discussion went smoothly as most of us know API already since it was used for the app development. After our discussion we got straight into a 10 question multiple choice seatwork which was fun to answer and I hope I got a lot of answers correctly.

   After the short seatwork, we proceed to a group seatwork in which we have 4 groups again. Our topic was a health record system in which we are tasked to analyze the scenario and answer 5 questions. And I helped in answering numbers 1, 2, and 5. 

    When the activity was over we are dismissed from the class early and everyone have gone to their homes.

18th Week: PIT presentation

Image
    First and foremost I want to thank our Professor sir Engr Carl Angelo Suasola for giving us the opportunity to learn and work under his guidance. He also gave everyone a Final exam exemption for both of his subjects which really helped everyone. We are all thankful and grateful for this opportunity and we will not forget this opportunity and his kindness.      Its been a long grueling week for each and everyone of us. Back to back exams and back to back PIT presentations. It was a hard fought battle to strive to be a Computer Engineer. Everyone strived and worked hard.      Though our group weren't able to present on Dec 21 we will be twice as prepared as we can possibly be and we will do our best for the next presentation on January and hope to pass the subject.

10th week: PIT PRESENTATION

Image
      A tense Tuesday afternoon. We were the 2nd group to present our application. We have our problems when developing the app but we proceeded in presenting it. Mostly, my colleague presented the application since the application was in his phone. We started off our presentation with logging in and the error handlings in the logins and its database. We also showed our main features. But we do lack a lot. Like the admin, edit profile, and the change of name in the profile, can now post.     Friday where we represented our application. We improved our frontend and backend. We presented our lacking edit profile page and the change of name in the profile, and can already post. Though in our backend we ran into a problem when we were fixing our posting where when we try to post it wouldn't show in our front page even though we already called the tray where it holds all the posts. Later than same afternoon 30mins before our presentation. One of my classmates checked...
