Louis Nicolle diary

First step: to choose a subject (30 min), check  11/10 evening, goal: subject defined
Result: I will write technicals article on the genetic algorithm. Why? I went to 18th EPIA Conference in Porto a few month ago and this particular subject interested me a lot.

Second step: Choose a number of article and their themes (1 hour 30), check 12/10 evening, goal: number and title defined.
Result: 2 articles, a global one (a quick tutorial), and more precise one (to experiment the research article) (1 hour and not 1 hour 30))

Step 3: Determine both the language and the example of the tutorial (1 hour).
Result: Python, example: crack a password. It will be a dummy cracking, more like a huge mastermind.

Step 4: Choose a title and a precise scheme. (1 hour) Check 19/10
Result:
Title will be: Was Darwin a great computer scientist
Scheme:
- Introduction
- Example
   - Fitness
   - individuals and DNA
   - First population
   - Breeder selection
   - Breeding
   - Mutation
- To go further
   - internet
   - mobile
   - do it yourself

Step 5: Write the code and upload it to git to be challenged by a friend (Code 2 hours, challenge 30 min) check 23/10
Result: "https://github.com/NicolleLouis/geneticAlgorithm" file passwordTuto. Don't hesitate to give it a look and challenge or try it by yourselves :).

Step 6 : Write Article without rereading (5 hours) Check 30/10.

Step 7: rereading and changes (3 hours)

The article:

The second article took me approximately the same time (12 hours), with the same steps.
