Why I enrolled ITM 352 course
12 Jan 2020My Ph.D. project is about creating a network visualization tool to help Ph.D. students get information necessary for succesful completion of the degree. More often than not, this information resides within the community and not online, so an important aspect of this application is a visualization of social networks and knowledge networks. Some of the features of this app are: creating an user profile, data collection and update, recommendation of resources based on the self-declared categories, and visual analitics (based on filtering the categories, for example: social network analysis metrics).
My intention is to create a tool that can be reusable in other domains. To show that this project is an awesome idea, I need a prototype, that I may or (probably) may not program myself- and to do that I need to be aware of the tricks of the trade. Therefore, I enrolled in this class to get a full picture of what web applications programming encompasses, and to gain some hands-on Javascript skills.
