The end of Spring 2012.

Alright, with the semester rapidly coming to an end there's no better time for a wrap-up post. Overall this semester has been great, both in and out of TWC. Unlike most of the other undergrads in the TWC lab I tended to bounce between the major projects and work on smaller projects within them. In the beginning of the semester I continued to work on the BCO-DMO site and by the end I was working on the main Druple site for TWC. Some of the things that I did this semester include adding javascript buttons/arrows to the BCO-DMO site, re-crafting the generate.php function on the Druple site to make it more generalized and modular, and now I'm working on making a TWC Sparql Tester Site, maybe TWC STS will work as a title. When it's done, the STS will allow the user to select Sparql queries and XSL's, choose an endpoint, enter Sparql parameters, and then get back a preview of what the Sparql+XSL webpage would look like. Right now I have most of the user input code finished, in a mix of html/php/javascript, and we can hopefully use the TWC Sparql module to complete the query portion. I've had to stop working on it for now due to my finals schedule, which squeezes every final and project into the last two days of class, this coming Monday and Tuesday. Even when the semester is over, that doesn't mean that I'm done with TWC. I'll be staying in Troy during the summer in two part-time postitions, one here at TWC and another with an RPI department working on a research project about the disruptive effects of new technology on the consumer and industrial markets. I'm looking forward to the coming months and continuing with TWC come the Fall semester.
