Any extension project (or program related bounty) taken on in this class should result in an article created by the programmer about the experience so that another student might be able to read the article and decide if it could be a good option for him/herself as well.
The article created should provide the following information (see this post for an example).
- Description of the project
- Recommended software and skills
- Main video/Link/Prompt (what got the project started)
- Describe the experience throughout, any hang-ups or difficulties, additional references needed…basically, construct a breadcrumb trail so that a person with similar skills at the start would be able to refer to your article for help/insights if they were doing the same thing.
- Conclusion of the project: Was it a success? What did you learn? Would you recommend someone else do it?
- The project should be categorized as “Extension Project” and “Student Blog”
- It should also be tagged with any related concepts (Eg. “Java”, “Python”, “Web Development”, etc)
- The article should also include a Featured image that captures the essence of the work.
