Dear students,
I would like to thank all of you for your interest in and enthusiasm for
the amino acid physico-chemical properties calculation project 2011
Google Summer of Code. Unfortunately, only one student has to be chosen
and I am sorry if this happens not to be you.
This idea generated enormous interest and we have received a total of 18
applications for this idea. Many of those are of good or very good
quality. I worked with many of you during the application process, and
was very impressed by the level of enthusiasm, energy, and capability I
saw in the applications and our conversations on the mailing list.
It wasn't easy to choose the best applicant, but we had to do it.
A few general comments on the solutions for the short coding exercise.
1) Make sure you understand the task. About half of the application
fails to stick to the specifications.
2) Only a few people used threads correctly. Among them only one person
used java.concurrency package, which I expected everyone to use. I would
recommend reading B.Goetz "Java Concurrency in Practice" if you want to
learn more about multithreading in Java.
3) Do not overcomplicate the solution; good programmer would do just
what he was asked to.
4) You can determine whether your solution worked correctly by
processing the following input
aaabbbccc bbcccalkfw
aaaabb aaabbbcc
caaabbbccc aaabbbccc
aaaaabbbbb abbbbbccdddd
sjdhfjksdhfk weiuriweiru
ddddrepeatrepeat repeatrepeat
and comparing it to the output that should have been produced:
aaab
a
c
aaaa
sjdhfjksdhfk
dddd
Thanks to everyone again, and I wish you all the best of luck with
whatever endeavour you take on.
Regards,
Peter

Hi Peter .
I want to know what should I improve in the next gsoc . I wan't to
know what wasn't right for my application .
In my opinion I think that I did a good job with the solutions for
instability index and isoelectric point which are the hardest methods
. I even used the jay vyas suggestion with those hashtables .
Please , give me an advice
Best regards Paiu Alexandru
