October 27-28

Monday: 12:55-2:30

     This week, since I am fairly comfortable with the general concepts of data scraping, I began to look into the practice of actually coding algorithms to scrape. I started by looking into some languages used in databases like PHP and SQL. I looked at basic syntax and got a general grasp of the languages just by looking up a few tutorials. PHP syntax is not too different than Java or C++. There are a few discrepancies, but not so many that it is very difficult to learn. SQL is also very simple I also looked at the library blog. I had photoshopped the pictures for the menu over the weekend, but I ran into some issues with word press and have yet to find an appropriate answer through the internet and have not met with Dr. Murray since last week. Finally, the Byte Club advisor and I decided to move the date for the app research up to next week to keep the process moving along. Hopefully this will inspire club members to start working. I just have to make sure that the majority of group members are available on the new date so that the meeting isn't held for nothing.
