Portfolio 8: Chapter 5 Presentation

First, our group got together and divided up the work load; I was assigned pages 97-103, which included some information on genetic algorithms and the minidom Python package. I didn't come across any major hitches while going through this section (although, admittedly, I didn't do all of the python code). While reading it, I marked what I though were the important parts of my section, and once I was done reading it, re-read those parts, and made it into a short power point, which was then added to our group's (Team FEAR) power point (that's why our power point had different styled slides). That's all there really is to note. Good night and good luck.

Portfolio 9: Foreshadowing

This is titled "Foreshadowing" because I'm doing portfolio 9 before portfolio 8.

Regardless, there isn't really much to say about our final presentation. At the end of class on the 16th, me and Luke decided what we wanted to do for the project (which everyone agreed was a good idea). From there, Luke did the clustering, and then we all gathered, analyzed it, and made the presentation. It is important to note, however, that the portion of our presentation that was about how the data was clustered was made by Luke while he did it (or directly afterwards).

Anyway, it was a fun and interesting semester. In case someone looks at this, I will be using this blog after this class for my great adventure into the business world (if you don't already know, I'm making a video game developer company).
