CS 371p Spring 2021: Week 2

What did you do this past week? This past week I worked on writing a multithreaded UDP client and server for my Networks class. I learned a lot about how sending packets between clients and servers work, and I am glad that Python comes with a lot of support for sockets and threads.  What's in your way? While I worked on the client side of my Networks project, there is still the server side that needs polishing up. Also, our first homework assignment for algorithms came out a few days ago so I will have to get that done as well. What will you do next week? This next week I plan on working on the Collatz project for this class, along with continuing my work on the Networks project. If you read it, what did you think of the makefile? I thought the makefile was a bit overwhelming with how much was going on in that file.

Where did you grow up? I grew up in Portland, Oregon and moved to Texas for high school and college. What high school did you attend? Stephen F. Austin High School in Sugar Land, Texas. Why are you in this class? I heard great things about Professor Downing and wanted to learn more C++. What was your favorite extracurricular activity in high school? Art club! We had a chapter of National Art Honor Society where I was co-president. I was also on the varsity swim team for three years which I quit senior year because we had to wake up at 4:30 every morning for practice and I like sleeping. How much C++ do you already know? My only prior experience with C++ is from 439 with Gheith. How did you feel about the cold calling? It makes me a little anxious but it keeps me on my toes! What made you happy this week? I am a TA for 312 and I introduced myself to the students yesterday during lecture; one of them called me a queen in the zoom chat and it made me laugh.
