Areas of Interaction
Through Approaches to Learning, new ideas and thoughts have been able to filter through my project. I have had to come up with new themes and concepts to resolve a problem and create a new interface for which my applications were to be incorporated. An algorithm was necessary for Seek Bot to work, a bunch of math functions and simple problem solving to determine and weigh tutorials based on how much views they are given by the tutorial index itself, and even how high they rank compared to the rest of the website. Even though I have mastered the languages necessary to process the project, there were times where I needed to do some Research and Development of my own in which to test things that I have not learned, coming up with new logic and putting it together until it worked and to understand how that works and to comprehend why it does not work. To use libraries and extensions for my server environments, in which made distant dreams closer to the home plate of reality.
Creating any learning resource and an extensive tutorial library for readers gives a complete and fulfilling sense of Community and Service. It may not be to the local community and neighborhood in your city, but it is the online community accessible to anyone in the world at any time they please. A tutorial index is primarily a website that creates a library of tutorials on other websites, so that a reader, who is looking for a specific topic, can query the database of many tutorials instead of looking on many other sites for that one tutorial. It makes it easier as a central learning environment, like your own public library.
Creating your own website already falls in the category of Homo Faber. Tutorial Seek was developed and coded from simple files on the every day server, to a complete user application interface. Managing the project on my own was something as tedious as a one man team building a space rocket. Now that an every day computer user can setup their own web page on Google, only the best of the best can really produce a website in which people will look at in aw, and wonder how it works. Tutorial Seek is an example of one of those websites, one that will stand out from the normal pile, not only was it coded by one person, but it was coded with the intention of every line that powers each web page to be unique from any other website on the net.
