Pulling Together to Connect Hoccleve Functionality!
The Hoccleve Project has been overwhelmingly positive for me. From learning more use and in-depth information for JQuery, JSON use, and libraries such as XPath. Working more than 5 hours at a time in research, testing, implementing, and linking multiple additions from...
Learning ensues
My first semester with SIF is starting to come to a close. The search functionality for the Hoccleve Archive is almost done! Siting in the backseat for this project, I've learned a lot about back-end work for the archive. I helped clean up XML files alongside Zane...
Project Management Certificates and the SIF Program
First off, isn't it remarkable how fast time flies? Thanksgiving Break is right around the corner, and the SIF team is working hard to close a couple of projects by the end of the year. Today I want to take a brief moment to muse about the SIF program, its project...
Manuel’s Tavern VR Demo
We have made a lot more progress on the Manuel’s Tavern project. This time, with the collaboration of other SIF fellows, I was able to put together a sneak peak to the future of the project. Users can now look at the picture frames and have some information pop up to...

RAP MAP – Tracing Atlanta’s Organized Noise
Following up from my last blog about what I have been doing at SIF, I wanted to go in to deeper detail of on the Rap Map project I have been working on. The reason I wanted to discuss this one particular project at length is because it is near completion i.e. we are...

99 (Plus) Bottles of Beer on the Wall…
