CS373 Spring 2021 Week 7: Siddhesh Krishnan
What did you do this past week?
This past week I continued to meet up with my group and complete the IDB1 project. We were also able to setup Postman and complete the other requirements as well. I also got to catch up more on work for my other classes as well.
What’s in your way?
Right now, there is nothing in my way! My group was able to finish Phase 1 of the IDB project and are now taking a short break before beginning to work on Phase 2, which is mainly the backend.
What will you do next week?
Next week, I will continue to work with my group and start working on setting up a Docker Environment as well as use an SQL database for our project. I will also continue to look into Python Iterators as well as the Reduce function.
If you read it, what did you think of the Open-Close Principle? (this question will vary, week to week)
I was fairly familiar with the Open-Close Principle reading as I read it in the past when I took Object Oriented Programming last semester. With the Open-Close Principle, code becomes much more structured and this in turn leads to code being reusable but also readable in case anyone new takes over the code-base. It is good practice when it comes to programming and should be implemented more often.
What was your experience of iterators and reduce2? (this question will vary, week to week)
Iterators were a fairly familiar topic for me as I have worked with iterators in Java and C++ in the past. However, this was my first time seeing iterators in Python. Reduce2 was fairly new to me and I am still a bit confused with the topics but I believe rewatching the lectures will definitely help me out!
What made you happy this week?
This week I was able to go biking thanks to the Austin BCycle system! Being outdoors and being able to view go for a bike ride despite the ongoing pandemic made me happy this week
What’s your pick-of-the-week or tip-of-the-week?
My tip-of-the-week this week would be to look over the documentation for TypeScript! Most of the groups in this class are using TypeScript for their projects so it would be useful to take a look at the documentation once in a while. Make sure to check it out!
