Abstract
This project involved the taking of information from the Kentucky State University (KSU) Research Farm to generate data and developing code to process and visualize the data. Other activities involved the development of code for formatting the data and generating networks for making the data and outputs publicly available online via the internet.
Introduction
Why is programming and networking important? How do you share data? What other programs do you use on a daily basis? Technology now-a-days is becoming increasingly important. With increased use in technology, comes an increasing demand for the programming of these devices and the development of the code needed to do these things. With programming there are a lot of things that can go wrong and data can get lost, but there are programs that have been developed to help avoid many of the pitfalls and issues common to code development. Additionally, there are many tools that help share the data processed in the project online.
Materials and Methods
Why is computer programming and networking important? Programming and networking are important because networking creates the pace for users to be able to store and use their data in both private and public places. An important component to keeping the data available to the
