With project 1 behind us, i thought i would reflect a bit on what i learned from the experience, as well as what I'm picking up from the XP book.
First, python is a blast to program in. I did have a few setbacks due to a lack of enforced type checking, but overall it was a very smooth experience. The project overall was a good introduction to the language without being overly challenging, and also brought me up to speed on git hub.
I know its been said in class several times, but if you aren't doing it now, commit to git hub as often. This saved me on a couple of occasions where i couldn't figure out what change i had made that caused sphere to stop accepting my work.
Finally, if you're looking for more opportunities to increase your python knowlege, here are some easier practice problems you could try. practice
The XP book has also been interesting this week. In past partnered projects I haven't often used the driver/helper situation, so its something to try again this semester.
Until next week
