Winter Break + Plans
When I first signed up for classes at the Dojo, I was pretty confused why my second stack would only have 3 weeks but I realized the 4th week of every stack is reserved as a project week. Our Python stack got a bit behind so instead of a full week for group or individual project, we only had a one day hackathon. For the MEAN project, we were to work solo or with others over the course of Winter Break. I joined a group with Colin, Maric, Sarah and Raul. Our project is known as a MEAN Screen where we users can register and login to, essentially, an online theatre with group chat abilities. My part of the project is figuring out how the web server is going to broadcast a real time video.
Unfortunately, through my research, it seems this time of feature is precisely what HTTP is not really supported for. But an alternate method of this I found, is to have a user broadcast a stream. Now this is different in a couple of ways because it doesn't require the video to be put on the web server. Instead, the source of audio and video are on the users' side and the only thing to do is make a link that has the broadcast embedded. Anyways, that is going to be my contribution to the project. Although a lot of the members, including myself have Christmas plans so I don't know how far this project is going to get off the ground.
Also, my last stack is going to be iOS. From hearing the instructors, iOS is the hardest stack so I'll probably plan on getting a jump start on the learning platform sometime during the break. I intend to relearn a bit of Python and the Django framework so I can finish my Secret Santa project to post on GitHub. Hope all the readers have a good holiday break!
