cs3216 from a physicist's perspective: Lessons Learnt
http://jiwei-cs3216.blogspot.com/2010/04/lessons-learnt.html
Cs3216 from a physicist's perspective. Sunday, April 18, 2010. I have learnt…. A) to appreciate GUI. B) to appreciate browser compatibility. I picked up html and css for this class and was tasked to create the stylesheets for the Facebook app project and the final project. It is really annoying to have the page load correctly in one browser, while everything is misaligned in another. Thus, there is a need to write the stylesheets such that all browsers interpret the attributes similarly. Chris is the lec...

cs3216 from a physicist's perspective: Helping GetHelp.
http://jiwei-cs3216.blogspot.com/2010/02/helping-gethelp.html
Cs3216 from a physicist's perspective. Sunday, February 21, 2010. This application is very similar to the one my Facebook App Group created – Looking-For. To be frank, their application seems much more aesthetically appealing than ours, so I shall not comment on the graphics or I’ll be indirectly hurting someone. When the user first adds the application, he should only see one textbox with a submit button, as well as a call to action like “Need help with something? February 26, 2010 at 8:19 AM.

cs3216 from a physicist's perspective: Flixster
http://jiwei-cs3216.blogspot.com/2010/02/flixster.html
Cs3216 from a physicist's perspective. Tuesday, February 2, 2010. The application captured a very important point: Online businesses can tap on the plethora of opportunities and resources in social networking sites (SNS). From what I gathered from the presentation, the main reason as to why Flixster became much more successful by having an application on Facebook is due to the nature of the activity. Movies: A Social Activity. Imagine the number of people who tried to find Flixster, and gave up. * *.

Cs3216 from a physicist's perspective. Friday, January 29, 2010. The end of an assignment marks the start of, not 1, but 2 assignments. The pace of this module is crazy. I am beginning to understand why Prof Ben is also known as the “evil professor”, he reminds me of Brain in “Pinky and the Brain” who harbours an evil intention to takeover the world. I ran into Prof Ben in Science canteen in the afternoon and this was what he said:. Ben: You all are still alive ah? Ben: But you look damn happy. Initially...

cs3216 from a physicist's perspective: What to say when your superior demands a deadline from you?
http://jiwei-cs3216.blogspot.com/2010/01/what-to-say-when-your-superior-demands.html
Cs3216 from a physicist's perspective. Tuesday, January 19, 2010. What to say when your superior demands a deadline from you? 10:40am 22/01/10 In Lab. Ok, this post is a bit late but its better late than never right? Reflecting on the previous lecture, where ex-students of cs3216 shared their valuable experiences on how to manage a team, I cant help but recall the lady's (in white glasses, i cant rem her name, help me out! Conversation with her subordinates who are programmers. Programmmer: I am not sure.

cs3216 from a physicist's perspective: On Presentations
http://jiwei-cs3216.blogspot.com/2010/02/on-presentations.html
Cs3216 from a physicist's perspective. Monday, February 1, 2010. Since the previous semester, I started to LOVE presentations, especially when I know that I will be presenting a topic that I am very passionate about. I get extremely nervous before a presentation and my mind goes blank just before a presentation. (You can read more about my reflections on one of my presentations last semester, here. 1) Overuse of the word “Actually”. 2) Looking at slides way too often. The ultimate pitfall that haunts me,...

Cs3216 from a physicist's perspective. Thursday, January 28, 2010. All in all, having attended the talk, I am beginning to appreciate the efforts that website owners take to resolve problems such as the following: too little traffic, too much traffic, suddenly spike in traffic, server down-time, content delivery, etc. I shall end of with a quote that Simon used to describe the Simple Storage Service (S3) of AWS. 8216;Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes.’. What have i LEARNT!
