Final Weeks

 

Look back at the HW1

I would approach HW1 in a similar way but there are things that I can improve upon. After reviewing my teammates’ code, I saw that there were some areas that they did better in. Most notable would have to be the way in which they got the secret word. I used a lot more code, when it really could have taken maybe one-two lines of code. There are always ways that I can be better so I would not say that my HW01 assignment was perfect, but I do like the way it turned out.

Highlight at least two victories. 

 I learned a lot more about how abstract classes and interfaces work. Previously I would extend or implement them, but I never really knew what was in the class let alone how to make my own. I think now I feel comfortable creating my own abstract classes and interfaces. Another positive thing so far is my understanding of android studio. When we first started, I had no idea how I was going to be able to use android studio for the final project. My understanding is not perfect, but I do think as of now I could do project 2 all by myself.

Overall

This so far is my favorite class. Dr. C is hilarious and there is never a dull moment watching his lectures. I have learned a lot more about the life cycle of software design. Knowing how to code is great and all but learning how to put those skills to use is what really matters.
