CS371p Week 3

What did you do this past week?

I worked on the Collatz project, and I revisited some of the previous lectures.

What’s in your way?

I moved to Austin this weekend. Planning everything and actually moving took up a lot of my time.

What will you do next week?

I will finish the Collatz project before the deadline.

If you read it, what did you think of the Continuous Integration?

I think it is an interesting tool. It definitely addresses some of the issues the article brought up in the beginning. However, it is something that takes practice for people to improve at. It also takes some communication between team members as there are many changes that will occur in the project.

What was your experience of Collatz? (this question will vary, week to week)

I think it is an interesting project. However, there are a lot of things that I need to keep in mind as I work on it. Besides optimizing the project, I need to make sure to keep track of issues and create good tests.

What was your experience of exceptions? (this question will vary, week to week)

I have not used exceptions a lot. This is definitely another valuable tool that I should practice using more often.

What made you happy this week?

I moved to Austin this weekend. It is good to be back on campus. I can hopefully see more of my friends, while maintaining the proper safety precautions.

What’s your pick-of-the-week or tip-of-the-week?

Node.js is a good tool that can run on multiple different platforms. It is useful for doing website server related projects. You can use this to learn some JavaScript.
