Although there was so much reading and implementing a lot of code. ICS 413 was a very informative and fun class. This class taught a lot about standardization and major development. I believe these two things made me a better programmer. By doing all the reviews for classmates, it was very noticeable that standardization was very important in programming.
What I would like to learn more about is User Interface. I noticed that we all have problems with a good user interface. When any group went up in front of the class to present their project, they then notice that a part of their project could look better, and the teacher would point out something we would not notice.
I had fun in this class because the teacher was the most interesting teacher than any teacher I had so far (This is not me brown nosing). I think that the only thing that was hard was the major reading. It was hard to get the reading done, code, and get other classes done also. However, overall this class was fun and informative.

The Final: Greendepot 2.1
It has been a long semester of cramming code together to finish our last project, and it is over!!!! Since the 16th of November, we have worked on a project called Greendepot. This project takes what we learned in Wattdepot and output the information for users on the internet. It is just like any basic website, homepage and links to other pages. Certain pages inform the user about the carbon intensity. The stoplight page tells the intensity now and Gridinfo outputs a graph. And we have a home page and a contact page.
What we did now was update a lot of the looks for our website. It was a really hard start for this project, but if you look at the differences when we first started and now, there is a huge difference. Between 2.0 and 2.1 we tried to implement bonus things and we fixed a lot of the errors we had at 2.0. I tried to implement the google visualization, but I could not figure out how to implement it very well. I was able to have it output to the screen but not get the information i needed for the output to be correct. So, instead of leaving a non working visualization, I left what we had before for 2.1 Overall, we corrected the errors we had such as default settings for the drop down lists.
SO, version 2.1 could be found here. My last 413 project. Until next semester with 414. Have a nice break.
