event handlers
It seems the event-based paradigm is so fundamental to the way JavaScript works, I probably won’t get much accomplished until I read up some more on said paradigm.

week 3 update
I honestly have done very little this week; have been too occupied with other tasks. However, I am still on the schedule I set, since I did some work last week that I didn’t expect to get to until this … Continue reading
week 2 update
Began week 2 rather sluggishly, but I now feel like I’ve recovered my momentum/motivation. Did some more reading on JavaScript, on event-driven programming. I am also doing, finally, a bit of implementation, specifically a “base set,” i.e. a set of … Continue reading
event-based programming
As this faceted search is based around a GUI, I should use an event-based model. Event programming is a new paradigm for me, I am thus reading up on the subject.
starting implementation
Winter break was pretty fun and relaxing, but now winter quarter is on, and I am about ready to begin implementation. I am going to use Git versioning software to track the changed to my code. I also will figure … Continue reading
connections
I realized that the plan I posted makes the implicit assumption that every search parameter is linked by a logical AND–“look for events that are X AND Y.” This is flawed. It would be a much more powerful system if … Continue reading

I’ve been feeling somewhat bogged down in regards to project planning lately. I think a big issue is that my past programming projects have all been in class, with problems laid out, perfectly defined, by the text book or the … Continue reading
Ptolemy and Kepler
Again the the vein of “do not reinvent the wheel,” some preliminary work has been done with this project using Kepler and Ptolemy. Besides being already there, using these gives me the potential to explore new software architecture paradigms besides … Continue reading
