We completed our voice calculator apps this week, which I think turned out quite well. My app in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucKscuooX1Y
I tweaked the audio after this recording so there is no overlap between the buzzer sound and Cortana's voice.
We have also completed additional tutorials for Git, which is a distributed version control system. It is used for tracking changes to code, and it enables teams to work together on the same project more efficiently. We met with Dr. Anderson earlier this week to discuss our goals, set up the virtual machines, and watch a brief Git demonstration. So far, I have successfully managed to push, pull, commit, and clone a git repository. I have also picked out a few research papers to read, one of which I will be presenting to everyone next week. By the end of the summer, we will be creating a research paper of our own (using LaTeX), so this will provide some practice in the format and presentation of the paper.
Last week, we were asked by Dr. Gray, a professor here at UA, to participate in an interview in which we were asked questions relating to our intent and motivations in the field of computer science. He runs the CS4HS program in Tuscaloosa whose purpose is to provide high school teachers interested in teaching computer science the tools and education they need to guide their students. Please below for the links to the video and CS4HS program.
