Research & Planning Log:

Day 1 Research Notes for “commit” history:

8:15: Crash course in graph search algorithms. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWNEl4HE2OE&ab_channel=Fireship

8:40: Meet up with other students for better approach. Suggestion to use Python's map plot lib.

8:50 - 9:20: Coding along with airport graphing algorithm. Still in progress.

9:30- 10:15: Research rest syntax in mapping graph. Graph works.

10:20 - 10:50: Break to eat

10:50 - 11:35: Research weighted graphs - following this tutorial: https://adrianmejia.com/data-structures-for-beginners-graphs-time-complexity-tutorial/

11:35 - 12:10: Taking notes and continuing research. Added Notes.txt file.

12:15 - 1:25: Add additional notes and try an object oriented approach

1:30 - 2:00: Add vertices and edges to graphs. Add Graph.js file.

2:00 - 2:30: Implementing additional searches, but need to read up on queue data structures and methods: :https://www.javascripttutorial.net/javascript-queue/ :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbAKOE5_Du4&ab_channel=dcode : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKhJHsW0Zm4&ab_channel=DevSage

2:30 - 3:00: Finish reading: https://adrianmejia.com/data-structures-for-beginners-graphs-time-complexity-tutorial/#Breadth-first-search-BFS-Graph-search - Add Queue.js - implementation of a queue. - still confused. taking a break

3:10 - 3:40: Trying to add weight to graphs. https://javascript.plainenglish.io/from-zero-to-dijkstra-5c00c929ceab - Also trying to implement Dijkstra’s shortest path algorithm :https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/dijkstras-shortest-path-algorithm-greedy-algo-7/

3:40 - 4:00: Found github examples of Dijkstra’s shortest path algorithm in Python and JS. Attempting to implement test run on my own in console. - See JavaScript: https://gist.github.com/Prottoy2938/66849e04b0bac459606059f5f9f3aa1a - See Python: https://gist.github.com/oniani/d319bd7886e6ba01fac9ac74945cccdd

4:00 - 4:30: Experimenting with data points for the project using my tiny ski resort where I grew up. - Fatmap: https://fatmap.com/liftid/46296/@40.1056368,-76.9249230,1174.8026630,-20.0000000,-121.9031805,337.1947721,satellite - Open Street Map: https://www.openstreetmap.org/search?query=lewisberry%2C%20pa#map=17/40.10662/-76.92534

4:32: Realizing in this exact moment that my entire project will not work because I need a 3D weight graph to account for both depth and distance. Kill me.

4:49: Attempted to follow along with this video on how google earth works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qo8L5GmKO0&t=16s&ab_channel=GoogleEarth

• I believe Fatmap has all the data I need, but it's a consumer product, and even if I had some sort of license to work with their IP, it'd take me weeks to get a working understanding of how it all pieces together.
• All around bummer of a day.

DAY 2: Friday, May 6, 2022

8:26: Update sample graph, nodes, edges on Dijkstra.js - Start of Day 2. Last ditch attempt to see if the algorithm works before scraping it.

8:52: Finished graph. Attempting to get it to work but the algorithm is two-way at the moment. Need to modify to one way.

9:20: Graph now works properly. Success! However, I have no idea how to do the next part of the assignment, which is putting the graph over an actual map.

9:55: Discovered plenty of tool to help me, but they're written in Typescript and Swift. https://www.mapbox.com/maps

• https://www.mapbox.com/blog/build-a-ski-trail-map-using-openstreetmap-and-mts

10:45: All of the resources for this project I could utilize need new languages that I don't have time to learn. Feeling dejected for sure.

11:50: Coded along with https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=re3OIOr9dJI&ab_channel=PedroTech, making a CRUD app in React using MySql, Express, Node, and Axios. Starting a new github and VS Code file now for the afternoon's work. Stopping work on graphing trail map.

12:30: Re-write proposal for different app. It's titled "new-capstone-proposal" in this file, but I will be starting an entirely new project in a different Repo this weekend. Today will be primarily additional research into how to go about writing the new application.

1:17: Back from lunch and following this tutorial on creating apps with Tailwind CSS - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFgzHOX84xQ&list=RDCMUC29ju8bIPH5as8OGnQzwJyA&start_radio=1&rv=dFgzHOX84xQ&t=16&ab_channel=TraversyMedia

2:08: Continue to research, code along with tutorials, and update node.

3:01: Code along with react tutorials: https://scrimba.com/learn/learnreact/quick-mental-outline-of-project-co25b4851980efb41f5ae45cc

3:40: Continue React research and Figma tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybc2gkvjMDs&ab_channel=Scrimba

4:15: Continue along with React Scrimba tutorial.

4:45: Continue research and tutorial. Also learning additional CSS.

5:50: Coding business card React project with CSS: https://scrimba.com/learn/learnreact/section-1-solo-project-coce646e88eea46f91af43ca4
