The biggest success during my capstone was definitely being able to successfully manipulate SQL data via MariaDB/myPHP and iterate through the data to display quiz results (my capstone project is the Software Programming Quiz). This matters because the ticket I was assigned is to be able to display quiz taker’s results, in terms of ranking them and also being able to display the individual taker’s responses via a dropdown menu.
I’ve never had to manipulate and display this much SQL data (and for different types of questions such as select all that apply, free text). Thus, I learned a lot more about different types of queries needed via mySQL (JOINS mainly), and also how to iterate through the data I collected in order to display the results in my template as well via python code.
In addition, I learned a lot about myself. For me, it’s important to not only do research on my end in order to successfully complete a task, but also have communication with my teammates to bounce ideas and understand how what I do can impact others. They’ve been a great source of knowledge and motivation for me, and I am grateful for their support.
