Electronic Notebook

For this week's assignment Nicole Kalcic and I worked on the Coder Milestones 0-4. We set up all the necessary files on our computers as according to milestones 0-3, then Nicole and I communicated briefly over some ideas for the website design. We plan to do some preliminary work over the thanksgiving break. ArashLari (talk) 20:23, 20 November 2017 (PST)

Milestone 0

  1. Our Week 11 journal club presentation. The powerpoint can be found here:
    • [[File: Data Driven Design.zip | Arash and Nicole's presentaton]

Milestone 1

  1. This portion required our individual computers had the correct software to complete the project.
  2. As a computer science student I already had the following files, but we also installed them on Nicole's computer.
  • Node.js 8.4.0
  • Code-savvy editor (Atom)
  • Web browser with developer tools (Chrome)
  • git version control software
  • curl command

Milestone 2

  1. This portion required us to fork the open source GRNsight project.
    • This is found in the top right corner of the GRNsight GitHub project page.
  2. I was added to the branch by Blair, and our fork is called page-design.
  3. The fork is currently under my GitHub account: arashlari.

Milestone 3

  1. For this part of the assignment, we needed to download the project code from GitHub.
  2. We followed these instructions: instructions in the GRNsight wiki
  3. We performed "git clone" to acquire the files, "cd" into the appropriate folder on our personal computers, and "git checkout" to the branch we were assigned to.
  4. I personally used GitKraken as I am more comfortable with it, it's simply a Git tool that has a GUI which I find enjoyable.


Milestone 4

  1. We looked at what the most liked pages were and why, and began sketching out some ideas as for layouts and color schemes.
  2. Nicole being the one with the artistic background was focused on the aesthetic elements, while I focused on how I would use bootstrap to implement everything while still relaying the relevant technical information to Nicole.

Acknowledgments

  1. For this weeks assignment, my group didn't meet in person all together as it was not necessary but we all kept each other updated through text messaging.
  2. Nicole and I discussed design ideas over the phone.
  3. While I worked with the people noted above, this individual journal entry was completed by me and not copied from another source.
