- What did you do this past week?
The past week is a chill week for me. I updated Collatz and finally submitted it. Also, I finished the CATME survey to prepare for the following projects. Besides, I went to the lectures and learned about types in python. - What’s in your way?
Right now I am a bit worried about the teams for the next project. It will be 5–6 people, and I never worked in a team of this size. Hope everything will go well. - What will you do next week?
For the second project, I will probably meet with my teammates, choose a topic, and get some work started. In addition, I will continue to go to the lectures. - If you read it, what did you think of the Pair Programming?
I think pair programming is an important idea for software developers and all programmers. Although most of the work will be done independently, it can be very helpful to have someone observe the critical pieces to ensure better quality. Also, from my experience, I feel pair programming makes the work less boring. - What was your experience of types?
Most of the time I use string, list, and dict in my programs. I’ve used set several times, but I never got a chance to use frozenset. I met the problem that I am not able to put a list in a set in my previous project, but I did not understand why until this week’s lecture. - What made you happy this week?
This week is the Chinese Spring Festival. Although I cannot go back to China to celebrate with my family and friends, I got a lot of red pockets from them! - What’s your pick-of-the-week or tip-of-the-week?
We talked about RESTful API in class, and we said to use it in our following projects, so I started to look up it online. I found the following article very helpful for me to learn the basics about RESTful API.
