Project: Shiny App

Started on:  Nov 29, 2023

Staff Guidance: Stacy

Description: Updated the Shiny App project with a slider function and checkbox. 

For this project, I worked to update the application to make it look more finished and aligned with what the client wants. I integrated the key features of the slider and checkbox into the application that I already have. The only thing that I need to finish is to make the download button work for the HTML file that shows the slider and checkbox.

Description: First project in the Shiny App

I started to work on the first project in which the user can click on the uploading file button and import their constrained dataset. After that, they can see a graph of all of the voyages and they have an option to download it. The project looks something like this.

1. They get onto the website
2. They upload the file
3. They can see the graph and download button
4. They download the graph
5. They can see the html file on their local machine

Week 32

Project: Faculty Office

Started on: Oct 26, 2023

Staff Guidance: Stacy

Description: The project aims to find patterns of the total service loads for each department. The deliverable is an interactive dashboard that lets the user choose the department and see the corresponding information for various aspects of the department itself. I successfully created a simple Tableau interface that can help with displaying and showing the information based on the user’s input.

Project: Shiny App

Started on: Oct 27, 2023

Staff Guidance: Stacy

Description: This project consists of two smaller project that involves the use of Shiny App and R to make and deploy a simple website that lets the user input the spreadsheet and show the according output.

1. Project Number 1: Voyage. The client already has the code for building the interactive map, but he does not know how to let the user input their own CSV and download the output as an HTML file.
2. Project Number 2: Density Map. This project needs some more input and examination. The general idea of this project involves the display of the map based on the user’s CSV files and the user’s selection of the desired transformation. The deliverable is a map that shows the density instead of borders.  The user can download this as an image or pdf. Moreover, in order to actually use it, the user needs to go to Projection Wizard to get the string to set up the map parameter correctly.

Week 31

Project: Linguistics Language Center

Started on: Oct 13, 2023

Staff Guidance: Chris

Description: The project aims to access the routes of each website page in Laravel PHP to examine whether there should be any optimization of the database query structure. Currently, the recommended practice is to ask for a table and database before rendering the view to ensure that the client server does not need to make a lot of requests back to the database server.

I was able to access almost all of the routes on the website except the route that starts with ‘lexicon/{lex_slug}’.  I tried a lot of ways to examine the lex slug in the route; however, it was very hard for me to access the database and query. Therefore, I think I need to ask Chris how to do this when he gets back.

The results of the routes I have examined so far are pretty good with an average of 14 queries with a range from 5 to 22 queries. There is one route that produces 63 queries, so I may need to ask Chris to look at this route again.

Training: Learn docker

Started on: Oct 5, 2023

Description: 

The training taught me how to use Docker for the first time. I learned how to use containers, images, and different other things that you can do with Docker. It helps to containerize the code and make a separate environment specified by me to run the code. It helps to streamline and standardize the process if the code runs on other machines.
