Microsoft/Calculator

With the new shipped out; Windows operating system comes with new features that are added or improved to make the experience of the operating system more desirable for its users. One of these improves features is the calculator feature added to the new operating system (Windows 10).

Information:

From the first look, it appears to have a new modern look.  It comes with the old standard operations, as well as improved Scientific Calculator functionality, Currency conversion (based on data from Bing), etc. More information about this app could be found on the GitHub link.  It's written in Cpp and C#.

Why you found it interesting?

When I found this project trending on the Github I was wondering what else could be added onto a calculator app? The reason I found this particular app interesting is from reading the roadmap on the GitHub site and looking that the idea the Microsofteam where plaining or suggesting on the open-source community to help improve their product.

Lab 3

With  Hacktoberfest around the corner, my classmates and I went over some tips and procedures to find relatable and reasonable issues. We also to come up with two goals for the month of October relating to the bugs and issues were are to fix. Many of my peers might have found different goals to focus on but my goals for October was  to improve my HTML and CSS skills and  also to have the ability to work with other developers around the world. My Goals The reasons why I choose this goal was that most of the programs I have done in my Software Development program were C++ and Html and I have grown to like Html more than c++. So I would like to improve on it while contributing to the development community. The reason for my second goal is that most of the group works are done with classmates and it would like to experience what it's like to work with developers that I can't see face to face.  Projects Found and/or  Issues to Work on When looking for is...

Release 0.3 Completed !

Image
From the beginning to now; of taking DPS909, release 0.3 has been the most frustrating period. This doesn't have anything to do with writing code or with issues, no. The most frustrating has to be waiting for my issue to be reviewed and watching my code have a conflict with what is in the master on gitHub. Backtracking for a bit, the main idea of release 0.3 is to have two pull requests, one has to be internal and one has to external. The internal was to have any improvement in our course's blog feed website; planet cdot . The external had to be an issue we found on GitHub like before expect it had to have a more meaningful contribution.  Internal The issue I chose to solve was to find a way to have the website be able to translate the text into any language. To find out how to find a way to solve this issue I turn to my favorite helper google. I found some sample code that does what I need perfect but it was powered by google. What I later found out google stopped sup...

DPS909 Fall 2019 - Release 0.1

For the first release for this program is based mine on the web application created by Miguel R. , for lab 2.  The changes that I had to make were related to user functionality. I made it easier for a user to know where its was editable and added the ability to count the words in the area. When I first laid eyes on the web page code, I dint know what I could add to make it more functional, because from my perspective the create meet the requirement of the Lab 2. So I was stomped, until I remembered in one of my Html course that was are to create web pages that allow the user to use it with minimum brainpower. Meaning the user show know what to do or where to go just by looking at the web page.  Therefore I went through my personal checklist to see if the webpage meets the minimal brainpower checklist and I found out that because there is a distinction between the background color of the webpage and content editable area. It could be confusing for users to use, so I ma...
