I am currently in the progress of writing infrastructure software in Go, in the past, I wrote a <a href="https://github.com/Captain-ALM/CALM-Console">command console</a>
in VB .net for my own pluggable libraries (I created a CMD emulator to get past the school disabling interactive CMD) and some <a href="https://github.com/Captain-ALM/CALMNetLibSamples">
network communication applications</a> (Including a peer-to-peer <a href="https://github.com/Captain-ALM/C-ALM-VOIP">VOIP client</a>
using NAudio as the audio library and my own network wrapper library, however, it is in need of bug-fixing at the moment).
I also <a href="https://subsection.captainalm.com/">bake bread</a> (Mostly learnt from my grandma); although this sub-site is still under construction.
I also play video-games (Check my Youtube Channel or my <a href="https://www.gog.com/u/Captain_ALM">GOG Profile</a>) and am an expert at using lower-end hardware.

My first programming task at City, concluding the 2 week 2021 Programming Bootcamp,
although I have only spent 3 days programming this and was a tad bit too ambitious.
(I could have started earlier though)
</p>
<p>
This Processing project show that I can use arrays, loops, mouse and keyboard interaction and geometric transforms.
The project contains a GUI library that I made to create the menu system for what could have been the Ninjaformer game.
</p>
<p>
Unfortunately, while the code for loading tile, sprite and level information exists (JSON, sprite sheet support);
I ran out of time before the submission to actually even start on the game. But you can play around with the main code and build your own GUIs too so...

I may have not done any programming for this (Even though I know C#) but I helped write a good chunk of the background story
(I also helped with the level design although it turns out 48 hours is hard to get polished stuff done in, so some stuff had to be axed).

After learning python for my portfolio development option, I wanted to showcase what I knew in python.
I usually make a network application in each of the new programming languages that I learn.

This project is a message based network communicator written in python and has a module for networking.
The project allows the sending of text messages and files over a network.
It also comes with a nice twist, in that if you select the pickle protocol, you can inject code into another client by sending a specially crafted message!

This group project was creating a Ticket Sales system for the fictional company AirVia LTD, for this the group had to both design the implementation and then write the code for it.
Unfortunately, the project was not finished to a state where all the required features were added in and while all of the backend functionality except for the reports existed,
the GUIs to view and control those backends was not available.
Examples of this include:Sales, Transactions, Discounts and Reports where no GUIs were created or finished for any of these components.
The design of the program was followed with a lot of adaptations (Rather than not being followed at all) and it architecturally made sense with the use of facade implementations;
The use of facade allowed for other people to code against an interface while waiting for a controller to be finished which extended the interface.
</p>
<p>
The database system was handled via an abstraction layer I designed and wrote myself which supports 'locking' a record for keeping consistency when multiple instances of the program are running.
This system uses an auxiliary table that has only the primary key column, a record is locked if it does not exist in the auxiliary table (Cannot delete) and is not locked if it does (Cannot insert);
This allows for atomic locking and unlocking of the record.
The implementation requires the record locked for safe access (Loading, Storing).
The abstraction layer makes use of two base classes, one for a single record and one for a table; with tha table one allowing the creation and deletion of the extending table via a schema and name being provided (As seen in the source code).
I also developed a backup system for the database that supports any table with the specifically supported data types used in the tables defined in the schema - removing the need to use third-party programs like SQLDump.
</p>
<p>
In the end, the following features were implemented:Login, Help / Error / Status Bar, Account System + GUI, Blank Types + GUI, Blanks + GUI, Customers + GUI, Discounts, Flexible Discounts, Sales, Transactions, Refunds, Dashboard + Notifications, Database Interfacing + Backup and Rates + GUI.
