Assignment 11 - Final Project

Goal

This is your final project for the capstone. This assignment is worth twice the points as the other assignments. There is also a rough-draft turn-in part way through.

Details

For the final project, pick your own subject to research. The research must involve learning something new-to-you, and include a component where you create some sample code.

Some possible things to learn about:

• [D3](https://d3js.org/) Graph Library for JavaScript
• [React](https://facebook.github.io/react/) UI library for JavaScript
• [Phaser.io](http://phaser.io/) Game library for JavaScript
• [libgdx](https://libgdx.badlogicgames.com/) Game library for Java
• [Haskell](https://www.haskell.org/)Programming language
• [Arduino](https://www.arduino.cc/) Using the Arduino
• UNIX command line tools, including grep, sed, and awk
• [Powershell](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/mt173057.aspx) Microsoft scripting language

This is a pretty open research paper. Please feel free to drop me a note to double-check that a subject would be good.
