Sprint 2 Retrospective

https://gitlab.com/LibreFoodPantry/client-solutions/theas-pantry/reportingsystem

Here is the Link to the repositories that contains everything we worked on Sprint-2. Backend, Frontend, Event system, and Keycloak.

RabbitMQ Docker container:  Created a Docker container for Reporting Team

Learn how to get messages from Queue:  Learned How to send and receive messages using JSON object

Meeting with other Event System Team:  Met with the other teams to discuss the format and schema

Review CSS and HTML:  Reviewed CSS and HTML for the Frontend design.

Work with Backend/Database for MQ: Worked with Database and Backend to figure out the Receive file.

For the Sprint, I worked mostly on the Event System components with the Backend person. We figured out how to properly send and receive messages using the JSON object.

What worked well / did not work well

For the Sprint, I worked mostly on the Event System components with the Backend person. We figured out how to properly send and receive messages using the JSON object. I noticed that working together with the team has improved our work productivity significantly and working together helped us to solve problems as a team. For this Sprint there were still a lot of confusing elements. Especially, we had a hard time understanding how the report worked and what the data was involved in the report. Also, the issue description on Gitlab was not precise enough or was not broken down into steps. We were lost in some aspects and did not know what questions to ask. However, it is almost the end of the semester and everyone is busy with exams and project from other classes

What changes could be made to improve as a team?

As a team, we should be communicating more with each other and the professor whenever there is confusion or questions regarding the materials. Also, breaking down the task into small issues will help the team tackle problems one by one. I think it will be great for our team to talk with the other group for example all the FrontEnd people can meet and talk more about the issues and problems they are facing. The same goes for the backend, this will help improve as a team. We also need to add more info to the cards which solve the issue of any confusion regarding who is doing what task.

 What changes could be made to improve as an Individual?

As an Individual, I should be talking with my team more rather than just doing the issues that are assigned to me. If I am struggling with something, then I should ask my teammate or the professor for help rather than just waiting and trying to figure out myself. Since it towards the end of the semester and since every class, I have a project, I should be planning or a schedule to work on individual tasks rather than doing everything at once.

Overall, this was a great learning experience. I think the second sprint was a success and we got a lot of working parts done for the project. I’m looking forward to seeing what the reporting team will accomplish towards the end of the semester.

Why use Docker?

  This week on my CS Journey, I want to talk about Docker. I know we went over several different activities in class; however, I was still a little confused, so I decided to look more into detail from outside sources to understand the concept and terms well. Docker is a tool designed to make it easier to create, deploy, and run applications by using containers. A container is not so much different than a Virtual Machine But, instead of creating a full operating system, a Docker Container has just the minimum set of operating system software needed for the application to run and rely on the host Linux Kernel itself. The first blog talked about the importance of docker and how to step a docker file in the root directory. There was a 12-minute video from YouTube that explained the concept very well. I learned a lot from that YouTube video. The blog also talked about creating a docker-compose file which is a tool that allows you to deploy and manage multiple containers at the same time.

JavaScript/Node.js

This week on my CS Journey, I want to look more into JavaScript and how it is used in docker. Although we did a few activities on JavaScript, I was still confused so I decided to read and research more into it. JavaScript is a text-based programming language used both on the client-side and server-side which is mainly for the web. Many of the websites use JavaScript on all browsers making JavaScript the most-deployed programming language in history. The name JavaScript is quote misleading due to the resemblance of java programming language however, JavaScript is completely different from the Java programming language. Both Java and JavaScript are written, assembled and executed differently, and each has dramatic differences when it comes to what it can do. JavaScript is mainly used for: Adding interactive behavior to web pages like Change the color of a button when the mouse hovers over it, displaying animations, creating web and mobile apps, Game development, and   building web server

Apprenticeship Patterns Blog - Nurture Your Passion

For this week’s blog post, I read the section  “Nurture Your Passion ” from chapter two of the book Apprenticeship Patterns by Dave Hoover and Adewale Oshineye. The section talked about how the work environment can stifle the passion for the craft. For example, you might be a software developer with a passion for the craft, but unfortunately the daily activities, “demoralizing corporate hierarchies, project death marches, abusive managers, or cynical colleagues.” Can become hard for your passion to grow by staying in such hostile conditions. I think this is true for the majority of the people that work in the IT field. I have seen especially my family members whose having such a hostile situation at work especially when there is a deadline that is approaching, or a software release is going on. The author goes further into project death marches in which he explained how they are the most damaging of the hostile situations, it takes your time and energy, preventing you from taking any
