CS 373 Fall 2021 Week of 25 Oct - 31 Oct

What did you do this past week?

This past week my group and I worked on finishing the last touches for phase 2. We made different tables for our models and we had to implement web scraping for Youtube videos last minute as the Youtube API only allowed 100 requests per day, and we had over 1000 instances that needed Youtube videos. I also continued to work on my Game Tech project, where we successfully implemented networking so we could have a multiplayer game. My group for iOS also finished our first part of our app project, where we're making a calendar app of sorts. Overall, just lots of group work went into this past week. I also did a bunch of interviews this past week and I moved to the final round for Microsoft and AT&T.

What's in your way?

The only big thing in my way right now is the sheer workload I have for all my classes. All of my classes are project based classes and while that isn't a bad thing, trying to juggle so many large projects at the same time is a bit overwhelming. Also, recruiting has taken a large chunk of time out of my daily life to devote to studying, so I hope I can land a good offer soon and forget about job recruiting.

What will you do next week?

Next week I'll continue to work on the SWE project to start the meat of phase 3, along with the projects for my other classes. I'll keep studying for job interviews as well, and hopefully I'll hear back from the other companies I applied to.

If you read it, what did you think of the Paper #10: Dependency Inversion Principle? 

This paper I had to read already back in OOP so it wasn't anything new for me.

What was your experience of =, *, ** and regular expressions? (this question will vary, week to week)

I've done a little bit with regular expressions in Compilers but I haven't used them much in practice. I hope we can practice with these more in the future.

What made you happy this week?

I got BBQ for dinner with my boyfriend yesterday so that was fun!

What's your pick-of-the-week?

My pick of the week is Godot. Godot is an open source game engine that is pretty easy to pick up and create 3D games with, and is what my game tech class uses to create our projects in. https://godotengine.org/

 1. What did you do this past week? This past week I held discussion section for my 312 students for the first time. I also graded their second assignment last night, which grades were not so great. I had a meeting with my manager from my summer internship yesterday and found out that I did not receive a return offer for a full time position unfortunately, so I've also been practicing Leetcode to prepare for future interviews. 2. What's in your way? I need to finish a Game Technology homework that has been rather puzzling so far. I also need to finish my iOS mobile development homework as well. For Monday, I need to prepare for discussion section and I'll need to finish touching up my resume to send out to recruiters for full time interviews. 3. What will you do next week? This next week will be full of interview prep and project planning. My classes that involve group projects are starting to form groups and project development is starting soon, so I hope those go s...

What did you do this past week? This week I had my first office hours for the class I TA for, CS 312. I also started the Collatz assignment and managed to pass the HackerRank test cases. I got assigned my first homework assignment for iOS mobile programming and started thinking about how to work that out. What's in your way? I need to finish this blog, then I need to create my acceptance and unit tests for Collatz. I also need to start on my iOS mobile programming assignment which is in Swift, and I need to read up on the syntax for that language. What will you do next week? My goal for this next week is to finish the Collatz assignment, finish my iOS mobile computing homework, and start grading the first homework assignment for CS 312. I'll also need to host my office hours and prepare for the first discussion section for that class. If you read it, what did you think of the Paper #2: Makefile? I always though Makefiles were an interesting concept and I'm glad I get to hav...

What did you do this past week? This past week my group and I worked on implementing sorting, filtering, and searching through the backend for phase 3, half of which was done for us since we're using Flask Restless. We did have to manually implement the search feature though, but luckily it wasn't too bad as we referenced our TA's code and it was easy to understand. I also worked on coming up with a final project for my Game Tech class, where we decided that we will be creating a PvP turn based combat game, similar to Pokemon in nature. I also started working on the final release of our app project with my iOS group, where our next step will be implementing map functionalities. What's in your way? The only big thing in my way right now is the sheer workload I have for all my classes. All of my classes are project based classes and while that isn't a bad thing, trying to juggle so many large projects at the same time is a bit overwhelming. I also find the project for...
