It feels like there is no end to this. About 5 months have passed since I started working on this project, but even at this point there is still much to be done. Dr Shawn told me about the Pareto Principle, which I can relate to this project a lot. Read more…
So I’ve made a few more strides in my spring cleaning adventures this week. I finally managed to get all my cURL test scripts to passed, which was a boost of confidence for me. Also, any other things that I had conveniently hardcoded back then were at least moved to Read more…
So basically all I am doing right now is cleaning up the codebase of P3 as much as I can. There were some instances where refactoring is needed, especially for the caching mechanism part. I’ve mentioned it before, but I just want to emphasize how important tests are when it Read more…
This week I implemented the part where P3 is responsible for pulling the latest project files from S3. This is suppose to be done when a project has expired in the cache and is about to be flushed to the user’s storage. Therefore, it is a last minute effort to Read more…
So the journey of integrating with the sister project continues. Last week, I had the issue of not being able to open the IDE in a new tab programmatically as the browser’s pop-up blocker is preventing it from doing so. As mentioned before, the reason is because of the fact Read more…
For this week, I spent time trying to integrate my project, P3, with a sister project, i.e S3. The relationship between them is that P3 is a project dashboard manager, allowing users to create, read, update and delete their projects and boards, configure a cloud storage to be used to Read more…
Not much was done for this week, except that I spent most of that time refactoring the caching mechanism. When I first started on the project, I was frustrated at the messiness of the codebase and how it took me longer than expected to understand the workings of the application. Read more…
The week was spent trying to finish up the implementation of the caching mechanism. Overall, I had no major issues regarding the implementation, but there was one thing that caught me unexpectedly. Whenever there are any modifications to the cache, such as adding new entries or expiration of entries, a Read more…
I now have started another crucial component of the project, i.e a caching mechanism. So far I have been able to simulate the mounting remote filesystems using SSHFS, that provides a convenient way to interact with files in your remote storage just like how you would normally interact with files Read more…
Previously, there were some issues in the transmission of the bitstream to the board’s server, but with a touch of Dr Shawn’s magic, he managed to somehow solve the issue on the board side. With that, I was able to send the bitstream successfully and get a proper response from Read more…
