The courses for the 2017-2018 academic year are listed as below:
Summer Academy of Code in Oxford
It was a one-week course on JavaScript, Node.js and JavaScript frameworks and took place in Oxford, England. I designed an online accounting system using Node.js. It contained both the frontend and the backend (available here).
Summer 2017
It was summer again! I started learning driving and got my license in September. I was also teaching English at my hometown during the summer.
Built and Deployed This Website
The first version of the website was a static one and was deployed using the AWS S3 storage service. The certificate was issued using the AWS Certificate Manager.
The configuration was rather complicated and I would personally not suggest first-time users to adopt such approach.
PiWars 2017
On the 2nd of April, 2017, I lead a group of 5 students to Cambridge for a competition called the PiWars. We got the 7th position in the competition. One thing to notice is that our score was 204 and the 4th position in the Piwars was 207. Our team was so close to the 4th position.
Deployed a Minecraft Server using AWS
Minecraft is one of the games that I am fond of, so are my friends. We rent a virtual server from AWS EC2.
Set up a VPN
Just for exploiting the potential the previously mentioned Minecraft server. VPN is for securely browsing the internet while in a public open network like StarBucks. The VPN service is set under Windows Server Operating System.
Joined the Imperial College Robotics Society
The society has an amazing workspace, including a laser-cut machine. A number of 3rd and 4th year students at Imperial may also choose to work on their final year project at the ICRS lab.
Christmas C++ Coding
It was a piece of C++ coding which the students chose the topic. I wrote a piece of software using RSA to encrypt people’s information. The software has no GUI but supported user login and registration.
First Year Project
The project was to design a remove control rover. The rover must be equipped with antenna and sensors for detecting and distinguishing wireless signals such as radio signals and ultrasonic waves. The project finished in May, 2017.
