SigSOFT - Prof. Research Project

The meeting wasn't as indepth as last weeks introduction to the Overhaul Project.

Actually, Jay showed up and neither him or Luke knew if he was supposed to be there today (bad communication i guess).

The research I will be doing will look good for grad applications if I decide to do that and also writing an extension to firefox will look good for a lot of companies.

This Project is going to require a lot of research/learning in various areas :

• Network Programming (Beej's Guide)
  
• Peer 2 Peer Programming and Techniques (Jay has a Paper)
  
• Mozilla Firefox Source Tree Code
• Exploring the innerworkings of Overhaul.

I'm debating if I'm going to attempt to learn and teach one of these topics, hopefully I'll have the mastery of them to the level where I can do that.

I'll link anything I can, Human Knowledge belongs to the world!

A New Beginning and Overcommitted

Well a little bit about myself.

I am the Recruitment Director for my Fraternity, Delta Sigma Phi. I'm a Computer Science major at the University of Illinois. I'm starting next week as an intern at Riverglass Inc. I am a member of SigSOFT, a special interest group directed in Software Engineering. I am doing research with a grad student, Jay Patel, on the Overhaul Project by developing an extension for Firefox in C++ that will utilize the Overhaul Apache Module. I am also working on a Collaborative Text Editor that will be written completely in Java and will be able to support multiple people editing the same document at the same time (or multiple documents if they wish per session). Between all of these (oh yeah I also quit a different job with the University as an Engineering Workstation Op), I have been very strapped for time. I also intended on working out more often which I haven't had a chance to do all semester so far. With our rush finally ending ( keyword: finally ), I think I might be able to schedule and find time to do everything I originally intended on doing.

Wish me luck!
